Fool's Gold

Recorded about a month ago with the more than able help of Savannah local Joe Nelson. If you ever happen to be in this neck of the woods, pick up a Connect Savannah and see if you can't find out if he's playing somewhere that week. It'll be well worth your time. Great musician and great guy.

Instrumentation...

- Classical Guitar
- Electric Guitar harmonics
- Snare with a mesh head played with one stick and one brush
- Finger symbols
- and last but far from least, Joe Nelson on fiddle

I recorded this one with my little girl in the room. I thought I'd recut some of the parts, but found I liked them fine as is - little one included.

No ratings on this one. The only person who matters says it's good...

Darlin' you found fool's gold this evenin'
Many would try to talk you into leaving
This shining deception, right where you found it
But you would not let it go

You saw something no one else had seen
A glory in the pale, yellow gleam
Of this rock that had been living
To be thought of as gold

I tried to let you know just what you had
A fool in your arms this evening

Thanks much. Say, any more Sevdah (do I have that right?) songs coming on your channel? I really enjoy listening to you sing those, not that the covers aren't good too ;-)

I like this one very much! Even though I couldn't make out much of the lyrics; would be nice to have the lyrics in the video description. Just a suggestion. :)

Favorited!

Muchas gracias.  Enunciation ain't my strong suit. As far the lyrics, you're wish is my command (although the YouTubes apparently get clogged easily - it might take a while before they actually appear in the description).

I don't know about all that, but I'm glad you liked it.

Joe really brought it together with the fiddle. It'd been a while since a collaborated in person with someone...
