You not only stepped up to the plate and took a swing, you hit a home run! Excellent job on one of Leo's more challenging tunes that not many people are willing (or able) to cover.
You not only took a swing at it.......you knocked it clean out of the park, young lady -- and the thing that really gets me is that you also also captured something that Leo himself is so good at - playing something incredibly difficult and yet maintaining the quirky, "falling off a log" sense of humor of the piece!! Bravo! I've been a Leo fan since 1970!!! :)
First off kudos for even trying this song in the first place. Second, kudos once again for playing it very well. He played this as the encore when I saw him a few months ago and everyone in the theater was silent while he played this song. He had the crowd in his hands.
Great job. Leo's going to be here in Raleigh in August. Probably be the last time I see him live. He was still a young man the last time I saw him in Chapel Hill with Michael Hedges.

Hi Macyn Just wondering what the tuning for the guitar is in your version of Ants by Leo Kottke. Very nice sounds. Brian
