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.

To say "thank you" in time ... It's rarely possible, I would say.

Guest said

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!

Guest said

No thank you Kirk, I'm nearly halfway through my housework.

Guest said

This is so lovely, Kirk.

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!

Guest said

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.

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.
