What a beautiful song this is..

What lyrics and composition:intentional mistakes?Where??

"“The more I thought about it, the more interesting and challenging the idea became. I put down the book and picked up my guitar, which was never far away, and started fiddling around, trying to get a handle on this idea, while the print of “Starry Night” stared up at me. Looking at the picture, I realized that the essence of the artist’s life is his art. And so, I let the painting write the song for me. Everyone is familiar with that painting.”

Don McLean performed at Glastonbury in front of over 100.000 people.He says this about his inspiration behind this great song..

hi Beth, I am happy you like this,it's one of my favorites. thank you for the compliment...May God bless...Steve :)

[whec65]

Have viewed quite a number of Vincent videos. By far, this has the best "feeling" and spirit of the song. Good job!

[nylonguitar]

I remember when Don McLean came out with the original and I had loved the song ever since. When Chet made it a guitar instrumental, I thought it was one of the most beautiful fingerstyle arrangements ever written. Chet was a natural and knew how to put the feeling of his playing across. thanks for the compliment...Steve

[LeaningBear]

Guess we all should get a sky cam for our studios, except my shiny head would blind you. Anyway, decent job.

[nylonguitar]

Nothing wrong with a shiny head LeaningBear.Chet really got my attention with his beautiful arrangement of Vincent. Glad you like it. Thanks for the compliment...Steve

[einc70]

NIce, you got the Gibson Chet the one i loved to have. I had several opportunities to have it but slipped away. That's OK. I got the cheap one Epiphone. It sounds just like the "Read my licks" track 11. Awesome!!!!

[nylonguitar]

thanks for the nice comment einc70 and for subscribing. I love the "Read My Licks" CD too.Thanks again...Steve

[JVCatalano]

Steve, Nice job ...very very tender. Keep up the good work!
