hI MIKE, YOUR JOURNEY HAS BEEN WORTHWHILE, FOR THE FRIENDS , CHALLENGES AND PLEASURES, BOTH GIVEN AND EXPERIENCED. KEEP ON TRAVELING MY FRIEND, THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF FRIENDS INSTEP WITH YOU WE CARRY YOU AND ARE CARRIED BY YOU, KEEP ON TRAVELING MIKE..
that is incredibly kind jimbo..and inspirational. I’ve thought a lot about the journey.. Distance travelled and the worth of standing still to reflect.. or is it stuck onwards and upwards
Your music always hits me in just the right spot. I'd pay alot of money to see you live, my friend. I rue the day I stop getting to see your videos. Thank you.
that’s really kind.. I've never made a penny from my music, apart form a check from the BBC for playing on folk weave when i was 20.. if we ever met i would be happy to play for free.. I do have many more songs to go but I’m in the process of up grading my web cam ( i know little about technology) The one i bought, although is much more expensive, has a better picture but sounds like I’m playing in a bucket.. back to the drawing board..
What a beautiful rendition of this song. I've liked it since the 60's but now I love it...what wonderful feeling you laced it with. There is such a marriage, a sacred union between your voice and your guitar. It's better than Nora Jones doing Hank Williams.
I just discovered your channel and what a Christmas gift. All the best to you my friend.
Yu sing some great songs, i have always been folk middle of the road lover of music bands like Breed, Dylan, Mactell, Dylan, America and more, top guitar playing , cheers Dave
Beautiful Mike. Moving intro also. The pleasure is all ours lucky enough to have chanced upon your wonderful performances. You are a true Gentleman of the airwaves. Long may your star continue to shine for three hundred and many more. Health and happiness Mike. Thanks so so much.
So wonderful to hear you sing this song. Wishing 3 years to hear you sing it and it was well worth the wait. Thank you for 300 wonderful recordings. What a wonderful gift you have given the world.
Last night as I was having a glass of wine and mulling things over in my mind, I put your music on..it came to me that, if you could give a voice to the way warm thoughts wander on a quiet wintry evening while enjoying a glass of wine, they would sound the way your guitar does here..
Hi Mike. I got back at last! Lost my YT channel when the Google sign in happened, just couldn't get back in. BUT, I've been following everything on your channel (of course!) and have now set up a new channel. Your performing just gets better and better, both vocally and on the guitar. Brilliant is the only word to describe you! Congratulations on reaching 300. I just feel sad that I seem to have lost all the lovely messages between us from over the years. Looking forward to the future. Laura x
Brilliant Mike...thanks again for sharing this stuff, cant quite see the fretboard but I hope to steal this song from you as soon as I can have a go at it. The problem is you make everyting look so easy...when its not. Best wishes to you my friend and dont forget ...I want your fingers when you are dead! Well then can transplant all sorts now cant they? LOL .Thanks again!! Steve.
Sung with the utmost pathos and beauty, not to mention exquisite guitar accompaniment. Isn't it amazing that Joni wrote this song near the beginning of her career? And yet, the way she sings it now it's almost an entirely different song in terms of the meaning and perspective it conveys. It's wonderful to hear you take a crack at it, especially in light of the reaction you received to your last video. Good work, Mike!
HI MIKE, THANKS FOR THE 300th........IS IT IN STANDARD TUNING,? AND LET US SEE YOUR LEFT HAND PLEASE.....LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEXT 300......SO GET ON WITH IT BEST WISHES JIM
Yet another gem from Mike, and one befitting his 300th upload. He hasn't done many that aren't in my 'must listen to again and again' list. A true heart felt thankyou for all the entertainment you've brought us through all these uploads, may they please continue for many a year.Ted obviously thought the occasion should be celebrated as all the family seem to have come around to Parteeeeeeeeeeeeee!!
I've seen and heard you play many times at festivals and sessions over the years and have yet to hear a more individual and intuitive guitarist. Beautiful, sensitive playing. Mike, I don't think you really appreciate how good you are! 300 posts is amazing, and there is something for every taste here. I find I can come to this channel I find just what I'm looking for for the mood I'm in, or the message I am looking for. I don't comment often but this achievement warrants a 'Well Done Mate"!
What a significant milestone Mike, and what a wonderful and eclectic musical collection of 300 songs and tunes you have shared with us. It feels as though 'By the Time it Gets Dark' by Sandy Denny (your first post in May 2007) is just a heartbeat back in time. Four fabulous years of music making......and a joyful anticipation of the next four to come.
After adding my own and reading comments on your last, I thought I really don't know anything at all and wondered what song you would post next. This really does say it all. It is a perfect song. What you have can't be bought. You are wonderful.
Congratulations Mike that is quite an acheivement. Your perfomances are always excellent and very natural, and this one is no exception. I hope you will carry on for many years to come.
300 and i have enjoyed nearly every one thank you.i hope you have another 100 at least tucked up your sleeve.Bye the way i still listen to your version of Big River nearly every day and still cant play the bloody thing !
Glad to be the first to comment on the auspicious occasion of your 300 vid. This one is like the rest, pure and inculcated with musical expertise and honesty. You are the Gandalf of Youtube :D
You've a nice sound feller
