Nicely done, my friend. I like the sound and the rhythmn. Good job.

Really good played guitar. I wish i could play like you

[ichingiching]

I have a lot of kind comments like that and i wish i could magic some formula so that everybody could become instant guitarists.. its simply practice and dedication with a large element of love and fun over time..

[nine71283]

[ichingiching]

thank you Kathy.. its really nice that you listened to some of my songs and took the time to write.. regards Mike

[MACHAWK123]

I love this, I've never heard the song before, is it an american folky or blues number? Mike knows I love his vocal interpretations of other people's songs but on this one I have to say the guitar rules roost. Love it Mike! Yet another gem!

[ichingiching]

[ichingiching]

It's always humbling to read such kind words. I'm just re-reading a book at the moment called Zen Mind-Beginners Mind. There is a chapter entitled 'nothing special' I often sit and watch my fingers and think 'How'??

[eremor]

Right on man...enjoyed the performance.

[ichingiching]

Many thanks Joe.

[asdfthegeek]

the picking reminds me of some arlo guthrie material.. what was it.. alice's restaurant? awesome job enjoyed it

[ichingiching]

Sorry about the late reply, I've been travelling. Arlo was a hero of mine. I even have the vinyl of 'Alice's Restaurant'  Glad you enjoyed it. M
