Hi John, I really Enjoyed this one. You knocked it out of the park. I grew up a big fan of Arlo Guthries. Everytime I hear

"City Of New Orleans" it takes me back.

Great as usual Man!!

[KarenEng]

Fantastic cover John! I thought the harmonica sounded beautiful! :)

[Johnfern99]

Thanks so much, Karen! I'm glad you thought so. I had my doubts when I added the harp track later. Hope you have a great weekend!

You always make the coolest song choices, John. I love Arlo's music, and you did a great job with this one.

[Johnfern99]

Thanks Becky! I've been singing this one and a lot of others of his for years. He's the best!

[JLSTaylor]

Great song and great sound, JF. Did you do something different with your mic setup? Are those Sennheiser's? :o)

[Johnfern99]

Thanks Marina! The mic set up is the same, but I recorded the guitar, vocal and harmonica separately. Yes, the phones are Sennheisers! I've always loved their headphones ever since I bought my first pair about 15 years ago.

[suuzzee5]

Lovely song and your harp is fine! As always, you sound fabulous !! Suze

[Johnfern99]

Thanks Suze! I appreciate that!

[Cameragirl803]

Nice one for you to cover John:) You always make everything your own:) Great job! 5*****

[Johnfern99]

Thanks Jane! I usually end emulating Arlo so I had to try real hard to stay with my own voice. Glad ya liked it!

[bluebus420]

I was nearly knocked down by a guy coming out of a coffee house in Indianapolis at an Open Mic nite once. I remarked, "That guy looked just like Arlo Guthrie". Someone answered, "That WAS Arlo Guthrie!"

Great job, John!

[Johnfern99]

Thanks much! Great story! I wonder if Arlo was playing the open mic?

[marcie99]

LOL... always beautiful and i lvoe your guitar and harm playing and singing and i am sure if u played the harp i would love that too!

[Johnfern99]

Thanks so much, Kathy! Sorry about the harp misunderstanding, I should have said mouth harp. Glad ya liked my rendition of the song!!

[canajian]

Imagine how Arlo felt as a musician ..
