Hey, btw..didn't you use to plant your pinky? Hahahahah..ohnevermind.

But Neal.....don't you realize....I was singing this for you....

***UPDATED***

Just one more from me this month. I didn't take long enough on getting set up for this one. Plus, I made a bunch of mistakes. Anyway...

Here is Jimmy Buffett's Nobody Speaks to the Captain No More, off of the Floridays album released in 1986.



This was again with the Zoom H4n but this time I used my Guild D-125 (solid mahogany). No post processing (and boy could it use it!).

Well, last day so am slapping one together and posting. Apologies for any rough edges. Feel like I haven’t done my senior year, 1971-72, justice. So much great music in the air.

Hey, here in the Midwest there're still 2 hours left in September. There must be some more songs people want to post for this theme.

Thanks again to Todd for facilitating the Showcase.

Very cool....creative way to take a full band tune and make it work well on a single guitar.
