Haven't seen a country classic for a bit so I thought I'd through this gem out there.
It is unbelievable that he could perform.
The emotion and explanations brought me to tears.
After you watch this - find any video song he sang as a young man on you tube and watch it.... it just leaves ya shaking your head.

I seriously change my mind about every 20 minutes or so. Depends on my mood and environment.
debrap - Long story - but I had a late dinner with Harry Chapin back in 1974 - after concert in East Stroudsburg, Pa.
Nice, funny guy - too bad his demise.

Beamer....
I am just an old country bumpkin so that when I saw your title, I was just like Roger - and immediately was ready to tell you The Band ( or Rick Danko) . Then I gave it a listen and realized it was nothing like that song, but it did stimulate my interest so I started trolling the net til I found it.
I just kept searching til I was on about page 40 of you tube and voila!, I found it - it wasn't easy , but then it had become a quest !
Glad I could help out.

BEAUTIFUL PLAYING - AND THAT WAS A HEARTMOVING RENDITION AS THE NOSTALGIC STILL PHOTOS APPEARED THROUGHOUT THE VIDEO. I IMMENSELY ENJOYED THIS ! STIRRING EMOTIONS WITHOUT WORDS, WHEN YOU HAVE DONE THAT, YOU'VE DONE SOMETHING SPECIAL !
I was just having a conversation with my psychology class the other day about how when they walk down the street and see older people, they should remember that we were all young once. ( i.e. Graham's Cloak of Invisibility song)
I also loved seeing all your guitars - sweet collection. Do you still have your very first guitar ?
Anyway - this was a great way for me to begin Sunday morning at 5:30 am
NFL today - Go Steelers and Packers, although the left side of my brain is telling me the opposite is reality!
Thanks again so much for your musical reflection, it was awesome!

I think I got a great deal today
I went into a local guitar shop to buy some guitar pics
As I was in there a guy was selling his guitar on consignment
He wanted $600
I got it for $500 including the case
I played it - checked it over, had the guitar shop guy check it - flawless!
It's a Gibson - 2007 Les Paul Studio made in USA
Pretty good day!
I will post pics as soon as I get to my computer
