EARLY MORNING RAIN

[jhankri]

ok, maybe I am an ichingiching groupie. I never leave youtube without rambling a bit on your channel to hear that unique voice and finger picking........beckoning.....c­ome listen...

one of my favorites too...

[ichingiching]

lol.. for that i am humbled. I will clearly have to dedicate my next song to you for all the kind words of care.. 

[jhankri]

@ichingiching Oh my, that is too kind of you.. :)

[jhankri]

@ichingiching lol where has this note been? that's a lovely thought.....many of your listeners feel the same as I do. I think you've missed your cue but you could make up for it by dedicating a song to all of us who so enjoy your channel... and like me are having one last listen before i call it a day. I'll pretend it's just for me..... ;)

[ichingiching]

Hi B.. i have many little notes all over that I've missed over the years.. one day i will chase them up and answer every one..

[11gokey]

Hi Mike, Here I was browsing ichingiching videos, and I found this one. It's one of my all time favorites (that's the way we spell it). Really nice job on a song many of us can identify with. C'mon summer!

[ichingiching]

its a really great song. thats for listening.. and yes to the summer.. in the meantime have a great festive time.. regards M:)

[MACHAWK123]

The sounds distorted quite badly in places but having listened to more that a few of Mike's version of the 'folky clssics' this is really good, I wouldn't have expect anything different!

[ichingiching]

one day I WILL update my recording set up and do them all over again.. lol ! cheers Mike

[AegisNova]

Oh, quite nicely done! : )

[ichingiching]

thank you AegisNova.. :)

[pillsburysbest]

Great Job!!! Nice playing and nice voicing! I am currently trying to get my right hand to pick like yours! awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ichingiching]

I'm pausing and thinking what to write.. after many years is comes naturally although its also the right/left finger combination that completes the practice.. many thanks .. regards M

[folkguitar09]

wow. i've been playing guitar again for about three years and have learnt a hell of a lot from your videos about adding melody with the 4th finger you make it seem totally effortless. The ability you have to put so many embelishments with your chord progressions in my eyes puts you in the same bracket as people like Ralph Mctell. top job and thankyou

[ichingiching]

so many thanks for your kind comments.. yes the forth (little) finger can add so much embelishment..its natural to add it to many chords just to enrich the basic chords.. M

[LeeMoira]

you know whenever i listen to your songs i always hear a voice of a lonely person i dont know if its just me it is it

[ichingiching]

perceptive.. although I have many friends in my life.. songs express the soul.. m

[campincarl47]

[ichingiching]

sorry.. can't read or write tabs.. m

[ichingiching]

Kind words.. Thanks very much.. my friend worked for an Airline as a stewaress.. .. close to home..!

[ottlakerambler]

Another 5 stars. Probably my favorite Gordon Lightfoot tune.

He's a great song writer.. Cheers Mike

[NJSatori]

Gave this another listen this morning and bet you would do a terrific rendition of "...the Edmund Fitzgerald." (greedy aren't I?) It has a special place in my heart having grown up by the shores of Gitche Gumee. Thanks again for sharing your love of guitar & song! :) Phyllis

[ichingiching]

Thanks Phyllis. I'm stacking a lot of songs up at the moment. There are just not enough hours in the day(and night)

[Pearlfisher7]

Is this a new one in your repertoire, I dont remember it but it is good as always.

[raymondcrooke]

Great song from my youth. It's on my list of songs to do. 5*

[ichingiching]

Hi Ray. I saw a YT of him playing it recently. Classic.

[NJSatori]

Okay... now you did it! I think you have been thumbing through my songbook from my youth. Maybe I better check the closet for your fingerprints! Yet another that I loved and we sang many years ago. Beautifully sung and picked. :) I like the B&W format. But the I love B&W photography best. :) Thanks for another oldie and goodie! Phyllis

[ichingiching]

Ha! sussed!! I like the black and white format too. There seems to be less distraction. I'd really love to get a few good quality vid done someday soon..

Mike

[carrolly2k]

[ichingiching]

only in the moment, the sun still shines behind the clouds Mx

[poppinjaye]

Very pretty. I hadn't heard this song before.

[ichingiching]

Its a classic Gordon lightfoot song but then again I only heard 'wayfairing traveller' for the first time the other day and thats been around forever. M
