Default Mountains of Illinois on my Rozawood Bohemian

Brooks Robertson did a wonderful version of "Montains of Illininois" for the Fretboard Journal and it totally blew me away. My rendition of this lovely song by Pat Bergeson is more based on the arrangement by Tommy Emmanuel.

Thanks J.R. - must be the influence of my 6month younger wife

@all: Thanks for your warm comments, dear friends!
I just got some new little microphones - Line Audio CM3 - and will rerecord that tune.

Love this, Roland. That song brings back such good memories for me. My dad’s side of the family is all from Illinois. Thanks for sharing this.
