I appreciate your listening and taking time to comment! It's cool that you also play this. It's a challenge to sing, especially that chorus will all those high G notes, as you know. I hope all is well for you! - Glenn

Hi Glenn,
Beautiful guitar music, a favorite for me. Lovely vocals paired with a perfectly played guitar is truly heavenly. Your recording set-up sounds really good!!! Love this recording. Rene

Wow, Glenn, 3 pages and we're under 12 hours since you posted this! Why?
Cause it's REALLY good!! Once again your songs bring me to lyrics I "thought" I'd heard/knew through this classic, but they punch through nicely for me to enjoy via your version. I think '67 was a really good year for Martins, by the way!!! Thanks, Glenn!

Thanks so much for your kind comments! I'm so pleased that you like this! It's a simple song, just vocal and guitar, and then I added the harmony vocals. So it comes out sounding nice and clean, not muddied up with a bunch of other stuff. I'm so glad you are appreciating the quality of my recordings. Being retired, I do have time. And time makes such a difference so I can pay attention to details. Also, I am very fortunate to have some good mics, mic preamps, and recording software. And I have learned a lot in the last few years from folks here on the AGF, especially from the RECORDING sub-section of the AGF. I really appreciate your comments, Rene! I hope you and your wife are well! - Glenn

You always make me feel good! Thank you for your kindness over the years! And thank you for your kind words regarding this video and cover.I think people are responding to this song because it's familiar; people tend to like what they know. At the same time I do appreciate your compliments on my cover! I'm really pleased that you feel it came out well. The lyrics to this song are really touching; I'm glad my cover helps bring them out to you.  And yes, I do think 1967 was a pretty good year for Martin guitars. I feel so lucky to have my old D-35. The guitar recording is not perfect; there are places where the sound is not as pleasant and solid sounding as I would have liked, but it does sound live. It sounds like my D-35, and that's a pretty good sound. I'm glad you like it, too! I hope you are well Fred, and thank you for taking on the volunteer job of moderating the AGF. That is a very big deal!  - Glenn

I appreciate your taking time to listen and then to comment here and lend support! Much appreciated! And I'm very pleased that you felt I did an okay cover with this video. "Leader of the Band" is, I agree, a masterpiece of song writing. And I marvel at Dan Fogelberg's openness in this song. In one interview on YouTube that I listened to just today he commented that this song was about "patching up a relationship" with his father. So, I suppose like most fathers and sons, some friction had existed. I know he had gone off to LA at only 19 years old, so that probably worried his father. But after all that, it's amazing to see such a heartfelt tribute to his dad in this song not long before his father passed away. Thanks again, Dennis! I hope all is well for you! Take care! - Glenn

Great job Glenn!
Dan was one of the greats. I spent a lot of hours picking along with his tunes.

Hey Glenn, Well done as always. As others noted, I truly enjoyed the stripped down simple approach - one guitar, vocals with harmonies where appropriate. You did the song a great honor and let me focus (for the first time) on the lyrics. Much more to it than I remembered from hearing on the radio as a kid. And, of course, flawless playing, great vocal performance. As expected from you [emoji6] Thanks for sharing. Cheers! Dave
