Do you have this in an open tuning, or merely tuned E down to D?
This is a charming version.
The best I ever heard, and which has haunted my heart since I heard it almost 14 years ago, was performed in the living room of my friend Michelle Shocked's house on her birthday.
Liam & Fiachna from Hothouse Flowers sang this: only lilting voices, sweet guitars & tin whistle. I was blown away & have been haunted by it since then.
That haunting is the reason YouTube sent me your way! Thx for sharing!
Hey Brendan. Of all the versions of "The Lakes of Pontchartrain" I've heard, yours in one of my favorites. Your voice is so mellow in this song, I really enjoyed it. Props! Do you have an album of some kind, or any plans to release one?
It is realy nice, it touches... I found by looking for Paul Brady.. And this version is not better or less good but different. Very nicely played and sung, Thank you very much... I will listen it again regulary..

I hope one day you will come play this for me in Miami, or in Portland, Oregon, or L.A., or wherever life might take me.
I'm sure you play a lot of other things well.
Like me, a fellow finger-picking fool!!!!
Thanks dear spirit for sharing!! My soul has been lifted yet again.
