Nice one Rene. Thought it was a really good fit for you. Peace and Love. Mike

[Coler]

Ahhhh that's super. Great playing and singing, put together like that for a really nice performance. I think the simple songs can be hardest to impress on but you make it look effortless.

[Glennwillow]

Wow, Rene!

That was excellent! Very beautifully done, very heartfelt!

And your playing was just right with your bare fingers on that Martin OM guitar!

Rene,

How can one not like a song when the musician is obviously having so much fun performing it.

Have to agree with Coler, simple songs are very dependent on the singer/player and you did a wonderful job

Definitely enjoyed it and thanks for posting.

Hi Glenn,
Always a pleasure to hear your wonderful comments!
This John Mayer beauty of a Martin is lovely, and bare fingers is the only way to go for me, as it is quite bright.
Thank you so much Glenn!!!

Great job on this classic

I did not realize if was from 1933. I remember hearing a version on the radio in the mid to late 50's
