Thanks! That's a McPherson Sable. I sold my X20 after getting this one. To me it sounds closer to a wood guitar and the neck shape is way more to my liking.

Definitely! I've been fortunate to have a few others. My acoustic duo opened for Sheryl Crow a few summers ago with 5,000 in the audience. I got to play a song with Alice Cooper (search Alice Cooper White Castle on YouTube) and Roger McGuinn was a wedding guest at a wedding I played and our band got to play about a dozen Byrds tunes with him. I've been pretty lucky.

Thanks! I actually have an amazing female singer in my duo where I mostly stick to harmony. :-)

Beautiful, David. Such beautiful playing, singing, and the changes you made from the original. I've always loved this song. Thanks for reminding me about it. Wish I could see your fingers to try and learn from you how to play the chords you use. Haunting. Thanks. Congratulations!
