superb guitar work as usual. the lyrics were hard to hear but i caught the sentiment ,the reflection and the memories of your brother. The song was short , a mixture of beauty with a sad undertone my memories of my brother aren't quite the same, we weren't close . he was older like yours but didn't treat me like a little brother. we were 4 years apart and didn't treat me very well but it is what it is .
Very impressive guitar work,unfortunately the tiny speakers I am listening to this on are throttling the vocal so I will have another listen later.Top marks for the guit
alone tho'

I stopped back for another listen this morning! "The Minstrel Show" goes good with a cup of Coffee.
I noticed the '39 Ford. My Dad used to have one. I remember sitting on the bumper with my shotgun as he drove it down the dirt roads in the evening. We always got a couple grouse for dinner that way. I was probably around 10 years old.

come away, come away
away from sorrow
away from fear
may the cool wind find you
through a thousand thoughts unsaid
gather you in
weary day behind you
and you can lay your head…
In memory of my cousin Mike, nicknamed Shovel Head, because of the Harley Davidson Shovel Head motorcycle he drove.
Lyrics
I can feel the wind blow
Lean into that winding road
Setting Sun against my skin
Shift into that high gear
Get…
A silly song questioning the value of using songs to get a message across. Just say 'sorry' - don't write me an opera about it.
Incidentally the note choices in this song really did hurt me.
New lies
Written like you cared for me

cool tune and tones.
rarely is a guitar player so blessed as to have to song bird grace him with a sing along.

Morning John. This puts me in mind of Pete Seegers 12 string work, then Fred MacDowle.
Nice pickin. Similar in style and tone as Adrian Legg, heard of him?
Such a lovely song and very well played.

Nice playing!
That train whistle at the start is brilliant... like the rest of this tune.
The mandolin is a nice touch. A very pretty and poignant song.
Listened to all the songs and liked the slices of Americana. Very nice. ER
