[Fighting31st]

The baby swinging in the foreground was a nice touch, went along with the song.

[jeremiegent]

Thanks 31st. She actually enjoyed swinging like that a lot, and so did her sister a few years before.

[Fighting31st]

Haha wish they'd had those when I was a kid.

[blue454nova]

I clicked the link expecting to see...well...Merle Travis. And while I enjoyed your version, as a courtesy to others, you should add the word "cover" to your title or in your narrative. Thanks for the tune.

[jeremiegent]

Thanks Blue454nova!

I thought, with the image it should be clear it wasn't Merle himself, but OK, I added cover to the title :-)

[TimWatson1984]

[JustinFilmore]

Thank you porkinwitz!

[jsam3456]

I hope you save this video for your kids. They will get a kick out of it when they are grown.

[jeremiegent]

I sure do ;-) Thanks for your comment jsam.

[tanDlegen]

Great video! :-D

Great playing!!

[5inthehole]

Your baby rocks a mean crib! That's a Martin Guitar I hope!

[jeremiegent]

Sorry I don't know anything in guitars. This one was a gift. It was bought in Paris but is from Canada (Art & Lutherie). It's a Cedar CW (95% canadian wood).

[rahpiklz]

i really like the version you played. this is a tough song, i have been trying to play it for over a year. good job.

[jeremiegent]

Thanks rahpiklz. I'm not sure who the adaptation is from. I got it in a set of scores from Marcel Dadi. It's a song he usually played as an opening in his concerts. So it might be his version.

[slipscv]

Merle loved kids, he took me in as a friend, a neighbor when I was 8, we went everywhere... he said we were... Pals!

[Cyrloud]

hey super

j'adore cette piece, cet arrangement de Marcel est aussi génial que difficile-et jouer avec beaucoup d'élégance

thanks for sharing ! comme on dit ! :-))

[jeremiegent]

Merci Cyrloud. Venant de toi, ce commentaire m'honore particulièrement.

[SUNNYD3322]

It's like killing 2 birds with the same stone-baby sitting and guitar playing at the same time- you must be very experience as you don't look stress at all and even manage a good performance of my favourite

tune. Well done!!

Is there a chance of having the tab for this tune, please.

Thanks

[jeremiegent]

Thanks Sunny! If you like this Travis song, then have a look at Marcel Dadi's interpretation of it, it's just fantastic (it's on youtube as well). I'll send you the tabs.

[SUNNYD3322]

Thanks jeremiegent. I will definitely listen to Marcel Dadi's version.

[VanyeHendu]

*lol* Swinging by Abigail. Haha, funny kids. :-D

[joealsilva]

Good rendition to a Travis´song!Those kids are really a blessing.

[rightsaidshane]

I always have my kids bouncing around when I play too. Great job!!! 5 stars from me.

[jeremiegent]

Thank you Shane! I saw your videos and really like your blues too. Good Job! Can't wait until my daughter will be able to sing like yours ;-)

[vittorio1966]

Quel beau tableau, le papa, les enfants et la guitare!!

Manque plus que la mamman!!

Bravo!!!

Amicalement

[jeremiegent]

Merci à vous deux quelvent et vittorio!

A vrai dire Vittorio, tu as oublié un membre de la famille: le chien ;-) On la voit sur "Drive In".

[SUNNYD3322]

Ou est la maman alors. L'as tu expedie en vacances outremere?

[jeremiegent]

hehe, non non, tu peux la voir sur notre version de 'tears in heaven' si tu veux ;-)

[quelvent]

Les papas qui jouent de la guitare sont de bons pères surtout en jouant du Marcel Dad ;o) Très sympathique!

amicalement
