Ryder, thank you very much for that outstanding compliment. I read that even though Robertson is credited as the writer, 'The Weight' was actually a true collaboration by the members of The Band. Some say that is why the story doesn't fit together real well...it is a compilation of their individual experiences and inputs. I hope you are right that they would like my rendition!

I love the Nazareth part. Mind blowing (for me anyway) when I read that it was about Martin and Nazareth, PA. Awesome song, and so is your version btw. (and I agree that Martin guitars ARE that inspiring) |

Thank you, Sal. I'm with you on that thought...there are some fantastic artists that post here. From Ernie's (Sage97) awesome tenor delights, Bud's baritone thunder, Andrew and Jane's beautiful folky arrangements and WillieJohnson's soulful blues, to the guitar wizardry of Ed Harp (gibbyguy), Mau (Joe Charter), Rick-Slo, and Fran Guidry, to the unique perspectives and creativity of Eric (Noledog), yourself, Bill Brown, Jeremy and so many others! It is all the wonderful talent I hear here that keeps me coming back!

Bob, I too have not had much time to enjoy the hobby. It's been about 9 months since my last recording and I don't think I've even played a collective month in all that time either. My calluses are getting thin.
What a fantastic job you did on this song. It's your style that allowed you to pull this off. When I read that you made it a solo, it's like this is what I would have expected. It's just natural. I think your decision to eliminate the "and...and...and" harmony part was a good one for a solo arrangement. But if I may, the first go'round of the chorus sounded awkward when you sang the "and" up front. Maybe it would sound better if you paused and then sang the last "and" so that instead of "and.... you put the load right on me", you actually sing "......and you put the load right on me". Does that make sense? Regardless, this was a very pleasing arrangement to an old favorite. When I saw it in the list of threads, I knew I had to give it a listen. I haven't been around here in a while so it was nice to get reacquainted with one of your tunes.

Very nicely done. The Weight is a seriously big song to take on - You did it exceedingly well.
