Great version. It was the JT songbook that got me started - I think Sunny Skies was probably the first tune I (sort of) mastered. Wonderful playing on your channel - really glad I found it via Steve McWilliams' (Steve McBill's) channel.
As I have heard said.... "your left hand is what you know and your right hand is who you are." This was gorgeous. You are a beautifully expressive player. especially for someone who playes with fingerpicks! Your tone is fantastic. Great Job! :-)
Likewise, I have heard the saying "your left hand is your brains and your right hand is your personality". Makes sense to me. Regarding tone, I do strive for a warm, full tone. The picks on my fingers are customized Alaska Piks - I have shaped, beveled and smoothed them in a way that they help me create that sound.
This is just beautiful, Michael! Nothing better than a JT tune to brighten up the day! By the way,I play an M-36 and also a DXK2AE (a cheaper Martin acoustic-electric with alot of umph!). Thank you for sharing your wonderful music! All the best! <Babs
Thank you for sharing this fine arrangement of a favourite song. Your wonderfully serene playing is an inspiration, as always. What a joy to find your music again, after what seemed a very long time offline ! A very happy 2012 to you !

Very fine playing.
The room/background/lighting you used for Weeping Willow would suit this song better than this one thouhg.
