Default The Last Steam Train Engine

My cover of Leo Kottke's version of John Fahey's classic instrumental fingerstyle song "The Last Steam Train Engine" filmed at B&O Museum in Baltimore, MD.

You are playing that way too fast. Go listen to Fahey play it.

Too fast or not, it’s your take on it and I enjoyed your playing and the setting. Bravo!

This is around the same tempo when Leo Kottke played this around 1974.
