Thanks George

Solo acoustic finger picking thing I’ve been working on for a while. Sometime around 1968 I started studying with Mr. George Bennett who taught me the rudiments of finger picking. Later when we played some gigs together he also taught me the rudiments of alcohol abuse. I never got the chance to thank him for either! Recorded in my shop today- august 27 2009
Such a fabulous piece... I've always loved this and the way it starts to skip along at around 4 secs. Very cool.
Well played!
Always enjoy your music....love this style of guitar....Kottke, Hedges....its right up their.
thanks for you for this music...
Great playing and tones.
Every time I Tune in I am Never Disappionted. The Harmonic was seemless. pro- play all the way.......
Great finger picking and beautiful guitar sound!
Goosebumps Sir!
60,000 Sunsets...10 of my faves on one playlist!
So.... what happened to "Thanks George" you used to say on the end then?
Yeah, thanks George.
Speaking as one who is now reaping the benefits, Yes, thanks very much George.
Sounds like this was recorded outside in the evening.... *wonderful* ambiance! Of course, it goes without saying (though I'm compelled to say it anyway) that your performance is stellar. Inspiring, to say the least! Thanks for sharing, Kirk!
No thank you Kirk, I'm nearly halfway through my housework.
This is so lovely, Kirk.
Well, I'll be downloading everything acoustic you have now... This stuff is incredible.
Oh well played! I had forgotten how lovely this is.
thanks again for listening, man -and for your comments. We have to jam some time -some how : ) (Thanks, also, for your cool/deep sounds here.)
This is great.
...very nice here, Kirk! Thanks for the comments as well. Here's hoping you have a genuinely happy season. kss
This is such a great tune.....gives hope at the end of a long week! Thank you!

really enjoyed this!
Yes, thanks George. Love your acoustic finger picking. More please.
VERY nice here, man. Thanks for listening and commenting on mine. A great week to you.
Great hearing this again. Beauty.
@ lastsalutefolk- That was in standard tuning, but down about a half step and capoed at the 2nd fret. Thanks for the comment! Much appreciated!
mighty fine !
Hey Jesse- thanks man. That was actually in standard tuning , but down about a half step and capoed at the 2nd fret
Really beautiful finger picking. That's one thing I've never really felt comfortable doing. I'm stuck in a rut of playing with a pick but maybe I'll branch out one of these days! Really nice progression. This was the perfect song to wake up to!
you always find the sweet chords man.
Thanks for the kind words. We're still feeling at an appropriate 1st album style, and think we're hovering closer to what we want. Love your work (especially this song) - keep it up! Gave us some inspiration for finger picking.
Great playing Kirk, as always. Like the tone of this one. Thanks also for the kind words. Cheers!
Nice :)
I especially enjoy tracks that make me feel like I've learned something about artists I love, and this is one of those tracks. And also your "Thanks George" at the end is a wonderful touch.
Good picking...good technique...
Great picking!
so I was about to say: the hours you've put in since 1968 have paid off, kirk. This is Georgeous!
Oh I love the change of pace at around 1 minute. More magic from the magic hands of Mr Lynch.
Oh yes, gorgeous, love it!
So good. Saw Tommy Emmanuel the other night, and he played some great mellow fingerpicking like this, great to hear it!
I've been trying to write a comment here for a good 10 minutes, but nothing is coming out right. I'm so very happy and honored you put your music up here, we are lucky to have you.
you made me laugh out loud reading the description :) beautiful playing beautiful piece, thank you so much for this!
