Sportin' Life Blues by Dave Van Ronk

[qaspat]

looove your dave van ronk.... easy to sing hard to play (for me), but im trying to learn him.... 1000 of 1000s thumps up for you, wish i could play him as YOU, RESPEKT!!! veldig bra

[tanDlegen]

@qaspat Tusen takk! :-)

[DaveStewartOfficial]

Love this song

[coachdoc49]

Well that's as good as it gets.A real complete and wonderfully listenable version. Now you gotta read Mayor of MacDougal Street, to get why had the grit we don't yet.

[tanDlegen]

@coachdoc49 Thanks! I read it a couple of years ago. One of my favorites actually. :-)

[montreemtx]

Hey

Greeting from Tahiland.... a revisit.

Love your play....awesome.

Thanks for sharing.

[tanDlegen]

@montreemtx Hi! Thanks!

I'll be in Thailand in March 2012. Looking forward to that! :-)

[montreemtx]

[hottunasandwich]

beautifal stuff

[bluesplaylist]

hey man, just had to log in to tell you i'm a big fan of yours. :-)

i usually don't like videos of guys who pick up the camera and record their stuff for youtube but you're on of the few exceptions.

very nice covers, i'm a big fan of dave too. if you're ever in bielefeld, germany let me know i will arrange a gig for you ;-)

[tanDlegen]

@bluesplaylist Hi! Thanks. That's nice to hear!

I'll keep that in mind. :-)

Actually, this song was written by Brownie McGhee. The Lovin Spoonful version is a cover. The arrangement here is by Dave Van Ronk.

[tanDlegen]

@comdico Thats right! :-)

[DougStoneent]

this song was written by fred neil

[ssmark123]

Outstanding.

[tanDlegen]

@ssmark123 Thanks! 

[servicepap]

Really great job. Love the passion you have for the music. Excellent cover.

[operalament]

very nicely done sir!

[jamescharles999]

made my night, good on ya

[skullboy1967]

yo`ve made me cry .... my dad used to play this aswell and i`ve seen dave playing it live too ..thanks man

[tanDlegen]

@skullboy1967

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. :-)

[birdie399]

Absolutely Brilliant!!

[kokoro86]

Wistul..

[chuckuc]

God I love the way you play this piece. I play it almost every day. Capoed up, the guitar sounds better but for my ear this is the perfect range for you. Tthis sounds more relaxed & subdued--just right for the emotional feeling of the song.

I wish I could figure out how to share Steve Mann's version. It's a completely arrangement & very tastey.

[tanDlegen]

Hi!

Thanks! I've posted another take of this song too. With capo on 2th fret, and with a different guitar-break.

So have you posted your version of this song?

Would love to hear it?

I'm curious about the Steve Mann's version too. I'm sure gonna check it out. :-)

[1bhaiya]

Magical. Love the clear relaxed precision of your playing, but appreciate the feel even more. You make this song completely your own. Made my day. Thanks.

[tanDlegen]

Hi

Thank you very much for the thumb up. :-)

Glad you enjoyed it.

Håkon

[1bhaiya]

@tanDlegen You should make it look just a bit more difficult so the rest of us don't get too discouraged ! How did you learn this - ear, tabs, dots ? Brilliant playing anyway. And great singing too. Loved it. Thanks.

[tanDlegen]

Thanks a lot! :-)

Glad you enjoyed.

Yes, I usually learn the songs by ear.

[llamov]

Hey man, beautiful picking and singing. Is that a Martin D16M?

[tanDlegen]

Hi!

Thanks for stopping by. :-)

No, it's a Martin DM. One of the cheapest.

But I think it has a great sound!

[bigmuzz666]

wot can i say man, mr. van ronk would have approved,nice 1.

[tanDlegen]

Thank you very much!

[moles2000]

Realy enjoy your music, Meredith

[tanDlegen]
