[ichingiching]

hi guitardolly .. interestingly i heard Guy Clark sing this a week ago on an album with Steve Earle and Townes VZ.. great song.. reminded me of my youth..

[jhankri]

When I was very young I tried to fly out the upstairs window because I thought I was growing feathers. Alas, they were just hairs on my arms. What a song. Love it. LOL

[ichingiching]

I still try that today.. I've spent half my life growing up.. so i have decided to spend the other half growing back down again...

Wonderful job! I just saw Eric Bibb in concert last week. It was so amazing! Your verson has inspired me to learn it on guitar. Coming along quite well. This song is so wonderful. Actually, Guy Clark wrote the song, but Eric Bibb did an amazing job. Thank you for the video. Keep on pickin'!

[ichingiching]

[ShadySidebury]

I love this version of the track. That chorus is beautiful...I've wanted to do my own version since I heard it for the first time ever yesterday. Thanks.

Shady

[ichingiching]

Hi Shady. How did it turn out??

[ShadySidebury]

Still working on it, but considering I'm doing it more like Guy Clark's version, which is less uniform than the Eric Bibb version, I think it's gonna take me a while. Thanks for replying to my comment..

Shady

[ichingiching]

no problem.. just keep working on it and make it your own.. Mike

[Laner55]

Guy Clark wrote The Cape.

[ichingiching]

cool.. thanks for that,, cheers. Mike

[SherBB]

this reminds me of Jonathan Livingston Seagull, " they fly because they believe they can". There is a certain kind of day in spring, not too warm, not too cold, with strong breezes, when I still feel, it is a perfect day for flying.

[ichingiching]

this is a fantastic song and that line makes it for me.. when I read JLS I thought about flying... now where did I put my cape.......

[ichingiching]

Brilliant note!! regards M

[ichingiching]

Sorry Its taken so long to reply.. I don't know how I missed it?? I can imagine!! Regards..

[ichingiching]

lol.. such a sweet comment..

[ichingiching]

Thanks for that PPM. Its in C. (capo second fret) I actually learnt it from an Eric Bibb album. I just listen and played. Thanks for the song writer.. I couldn't find it anywhere, Regards Mike

[eyeblack42]

No offense I like Bibb's version is better, but I also think that it is Bibb's best song, it is a good version though just different

[ichingiching]

Thanks Eyeblack.. no offense taken.. your right.. but then he gets paid for singing it. Regarsd Mike

[minorchordsonly]

What a happy song! And you look very happy singing it Mike. You find some truly original numbers to perform and then you make them your own. xx

And this is Micky's favourite look - morning hair.

It is a good song though; 'He did not know he could not fly, so he did!' such a great line.

[ichingiching]

hi Andrew.. a great line indeed
