Wow, that is a great song Glenn, and thanks for introducing it to me. I've never heard anything by this artist before, so of course I had to listen to the orginal. I really think your interpretation of this song did it justice. And glad to hear you got to pay your penance.

How nice to hear from you and how generous of you to take the time to comment! I'm glad you like how this came out! And how cool that you researched the original recording so you had a sense of how I came up with my version. I hope all is well for you. Things have to be slow for you during this crazy pandemic. - Glenn

As for your song, as I said great job, and I will be sure to listen to more songs by the original artist! You know I didn't pick up a guitar for about 6 weeks and it's the first break I've had in 40 years as I've been playing 5 to 6 gigs a week most of my adult life. I just lost my creativity and drive with all the pandemonium and division surrounding us lately. But last week I finally wrote a song (you know one of my bluesers)... https://www.acousticguitarforum.com/...d.php?t=581514 |

What a lovely tune - I haven’t heard it before. Beautifully sung and played Glenn, and that guitar is sweet sounding. You can tell this means something to you..

I missed that song of yours previously! I listened to it now, though! Wow, well done, Daniel! I am so sorry about how this pandemic has impacted you, but I am glad you have prepared for this kind of disaster as much as possible. I really do hope things get better for you soon! Hang in there Daniel! - Glenn

Thanks so much for listening! I very much appreciate your comments! Yes, I have really been drawn to this song since the first time I heard it. However, I have not recorded it previously -- or even played it -- because my wife just didn't want to hear this song at all. But recently she mentioned that this would be a good song to do. So for whatever reason, she decided it was a good song and she could handle listening to it again. This was over the last week, so that's when I decided to relearn the song and start practicing it so I could record this live, as I like to do. The Sheppard is a very sweet sounding guitar! I was having some trouble up there on the 5th fret with some mild fret buzz on the high E string and the trussrod is inside the sound hole so I did not want to mess around with relaxing the neck relief in the middle of trying to get this recorded. So at first I recorded this with my Olson SJ. But it just didn't have that sweetness up in the trebles that I wanted. So, I did the song completely over with the Sheppard. I experimented with a yoke-type capo that could be tightened so that it pulled the strings a little tighter over the fret wire at the 5th fret and that seemed to fix the fret buzz issue. Thanks for your thoughts Wrighty! I hope all is well for you! - Glenn

Glenn:
Great job! I enjoyed your rendition, and smiled to see the Ave Maria come out for this one. Lovely playing, and effective vocals (was that a touch of echo or reverb to enhance?). I trust that your penance was successful - cool that you found a way through music to revisit and come to peace with a past heartache. Best wishes for your 50th Wedding Anniversary!!!! |

Thank you for the kind words! There was a little bit of reverb on my voice, yes. And yes, I think for the most part my penance was successful! And thank you for the kind wishes on our coming 50th Anniversary which actually happens on June 6, this coming Saturday. I hope all is well for you CC! Thanks so much for your generous comments! - Glenn

Hi Glenn,
That was a great performance! I was invited to a Richard Shindell concert not knowing a thing about his music and came away very very impressed. He’s a great talent. But I too immediately thought of the Dan Fogelberg song of the same name, and I said to myself yes, Glenn could sing that I think a lot of Dan’s music, especially his earlier stuff, would be right in your wheelhouse. Congratulations to you and your wife on your upcoming anniversary

I appreciate your thoughts and very interesting comments! Much appreciated! I will study Dan Fogelberg's "Wysteria" and see if it fits me. I like what I have heard of it! Thanks too for your good wishes on our anniversary! I hope all is well for you Bob! - Glenn

Hi Glenn I had to circle back to let you know that I have now spent some time listening to Richard’s original song in a few different versions and it has really blown me away so thank you so much for introducing me to it. It is just so powerful and as we age I guess those memories (however painful at the time) come to represent so much our our youth and years gone by.. Anyway, have a great week.. Peter.
