Steel Rail Blues always makes me smile no matter who sings it. :)

good job....and i see you took my advice and moved the camera at least 4" closer so we could see even better, lol

how about going back to youtube friendly 4:3 format (ie. lose the letter box) and sneak up a bit on this fine talent? :)

Loved them. Great renditions. So it seems that GL music is going to last for another 50 years or more..... I am 54 years old ...this guy looks younger... I know a girl, 24 years old that does Song for a Winters Night.... I am going to see if I can get here video of it...It would be great to encourage young people to 'get ' this music. I know they do...but just help in getting them heard.

Wow! Very good on "Carefree Highway". I will find his channel and subscribe to it.
Very interesting artist to watch and listen to.

Thanks, lune :)

Just wanted to add that you should go and watch his cover of "Don't Think Twice".
It is very good :)

You are right Nightingale :)

well, then he needs to tackle a guitar version of Lightfoot's Nous Vivons Ensemble:)

this S+G one was fun watching the all the riffin ...i like the camera/mic position for Sound of Silence best - the mic picks up guitar and vocal best when he is facing it
