You know, I first heard this song back in 1974, and I learned to play it on guitar at the time. In addition to the fact that you're way better at it than I was, and that you can sing and I can't, this video made my day because it proved that the songwriting that was going on back then is being carried forward by new people who appreciate it. Thanks!
Ya know, I first heard Rankin's recording of this song back in in 1973, and learned to play it on guitar back then. In addition to the fact that you're way better at it than I ever was, and you can sing and I can't, this video makes my day because it proves there are people your age who appreciate the quality of the songwriting that was going on back then. I'll keep your name in mind; I'll probably be hearing it again.
Thanks guys! Really wish I could take the credit, but this is based on the Kenny Rankin cover of the song. I recommend you all check it out. He's really brilliant.
Hey, nate - do you happen to have thesheet music, or tab for Kenny Rankin's version of Blackbird? I've been looking everywhere, to no avail.
Any help would be greatly appreciated...
Thanks,
Will
