Thanks so much, Mark. I'm Blessed to be able to do what I love, play and sing the blues, exclusive of any other kind of 'work' since 1975. Thanks again!!!

That was a good story.

Great job, Hawkeye! I followed your lessons on jamplay every now and then and let me say you are as good a teacher as a showman, and you are a GREAT showman! Love the story, unfortunately us teens now are stereotyped and I've been t told to buy something by every store owner but one.

The story I tell as an introduction to the song is true ... this has been one of my favorite songs since getting my first guitar in 1958.

Hello Mike, I have really enjoyed watching all of your videos. I started to play at 15 also. When I moved to SF in '70 I bought a cherry 1934 Gibson. Had it for two years and lost it to a thief. At age 61 I just started to play again and with the help of You Tube videos am way ahead of where I was at 24 !! Thanks for your good work. I especially like the ones that remind us of "our home". Still in Mendo Cty but moving to Panama ASAP.....Myles (Bob) Reisman

[travlinpartner]

Hello Mike, I just finished watching all of your videos. I especially liked the ones that remind us of how we grew up! I just started playing guitar again after not touching it for 30 years. I wish we had you tube back when I was playing.....I got frustrated after losing my 1934 Gibson to a thief and having to go back to my old highschool guitar ! I am still trying to seel home in Ukiah and will be moving to Panama soon. Thanks for the great tunes old friend ! Bob (Myles now) Reisman

[goldmansaxophone]

Hi Robert,

Thanks for the kind comments. Very much appreciated.

I just returned from a month of festival and concert touring in France. It all went great ... second year in a row for touring in France ... and I've been invited back to do more of the same in November of 2008. It's good to be an old folkie/bluesman.

Hope you're doing well, keeping happy, and still enjoying the music we love.

Peace and Best Wishes,

MH
