[suuzzee5]

Now THAT is gospel music!! Love that ole timey sound, and you also gave this song more heart than I've heard in awhile. Almost like hearing the song for the first time but I've actually heard it a bazillion times at church and everywhere else. But not like this! I was looking outside the window up at the mountain, thinking that the chariot might be on the way. lol Has a roll-y sound underneath it that I often associate with horses running...

[Cliffbrock]

Thank you so very much. Sometimes I take ole gospel song and sometimes I hear a different beat. I thanks you so much --:)Rod

[annie92220]

I like your style of music. I have been trying to decide what your pickin style is. I do see banjo in it but I hear country, hillbilly and blue grass, all of which I like very much. Thanks for sharing this with me.

[Cliffbrock]

I am Hillbilly, Bluegrass and Country. lol I'm a part of them all. I do some blues but not often. Thanks again.  --:)Rod

[Cliffbrock]

Thank you Maxi ! You say the nices things. This is a song I believe I learned my my grandparents first. My grandpa Brock was the Alabama state fiddle at one time. I would give anything to have one of his recordings. --:)Rod --:)Rod

[judymacpoet]

On your vidoes I watch and your playing style changes from time to time. 5 ***** I don't see guitar players using this style and I like it . How did you learn it. Judy

[Cliffbrock]

Thanks Judy, I am told my style on picking is kind of like banjo picking. When you get a chance watch a few banjo pickers and you'll see something close to it. In banjo picling I heard it's called the "" Clawhammer "" although I'm no expert on the subject. I picked this style up being around my family growing up. Thanks again, --:)Rod

[Cliffbrock]

Thank you very much Ronnie.

[Cliffbrock]

Thanks a lot . I'm glad you like it. It's played in Open G tuning and on an old guitar I rebuilt to an 8 string. I have several like this one and I have little E and B doubled for extra sound. Thanks again, Rod

[carlguage]

Nice Cover Cliff!!

[Cliffbrock]

Thanks a lot! Open G tuning. Of course I realize with your talent you can see and hear it's open G. This old song just kept coming to me so I figured I'd better record it. lol Great to hear fom you. --:)Rod

Hey bro ' Thanks a lot. I do a lot of that style picking in Open G tuning. This old guitar I put together myself. It is my third line guitar but I think it had pretty good sound. Thanks again, --:)Rod
