Hi folks,,, a soulful old song from way back when,, played fingerpicking style on the Martin D15S with some slightly ragged improvised vocals.

I muted my TV as soon as you started singing. The guitar playing is fantastic, but your voice is almost like Dylan!

Bravo, sir. Nice picking, and an authentically raw vocal. More, please.
