My brother in law hated Donovan. I was a bit ambivalent. Said Hurdy Gurdy Man was important. He sneered and said just Jeff Beck as I was about to say Barabajagal. Then it came upon me... Josie... Yeah Josie... won't fail you. No electric guitars, just a ballad and then I tried to pick the guitar up and do it. You do it better!
You can always make a girl yours if you can play "Josie" . Its a girl killer.
if I had had a son I was gonna name him Donovan but I had a beautiful daughter so I named her Shiloh...really a good job on this tune, i would like to sit a spell amd pick with you....in this troubled world we live in take care....
Fantastic! I have had this song as my all time favourite. I have played it many thousand times. I played it before tests in school to get inspiration a long time ago. This version is so good, very nice guitar playing and I like the voice too, even if it is different from Donovan.
Beautiful version of Josie. Always like your understated way of playing. IMHO your version of Stacks is better than the original.
Hope your music goes on forever.
