Default Duet cover of Bert Jansch's Blackwaterside

Here is our 3rd cover of Bert Jansch's Blackwaterside made over the years.

While my (pregnant) wife sings beautifully in each one, I have improved significantly on the guitar and feel like I can do better justice to this song.

I realised that I was just not playing the correct rhythm for that motive that Bert uses so well. Finally with some work I feel like the rhythm and feel song is closer to Bert's.

Wow, bravo!
Guitar and singing, too.
I'm a big fan of Bert, so it was wonderful to hear.
My compliments!

Thanks I've been working on this song for maybe 3 years now.

Really nice job on both the guitar part and the singing!
