Great song, great job, Dale. Really like your lead/solo work on this one.

Thanks for sharing, hope you all are staying safe.

That was great, Dale! What a song. Very nice solo from you as well, there’s plenty of good stuff around the melody

Thanks for that one. Singing and playing, especially that sweet lead, were great.

That was very enjoyable. Dale, years ago I used to see you on a forum called Next Level Guitar. It vanished long ago so it's great to find you here.

Wonderful rendition!

I recall as a kid, listening the American Top 40 with Casey Kasem and 'Please Come to Boston' was somewhere on the charts. I heard that Dave Loggins believed he had written the perfect song. I thought it was a great song. Loved it! If not perfect, still a very fine composition. Thanks for this!

Wow, does that bring back good memories!! I love that song, always have and y'all did a great job on this song.

I saw Dave Loggins in Shreveport right after he hit it big with Please Come To Boston. I recall it was a very good concert and I learned how to play this song right after that concert, but I haven't played it in a long, long time.

Again - very nice!
David
