Not So Far To Go

Typically I cover old stuff. KJP just put out an album (Western Bell) that I just ordered and can't wait for! So I thought I'd put this up for a week.

Excellent stuff mate!! You capture the essence of this mini masterpiece just beautifully. Great voice too!!! Is this in standard tuning? Thanks for posting this, take a bow.

Hey, Thanks! I love Kelly Joe to pieces. I play this one in open G (c. 2), I'm not sure how he does it. (Any way he wants? : ) I learned "Crow's nest" like that, and "Light of the world." It's a cool tuning, you can really "feel" your way around it. Peace, and thanks for listening!

I love this.

generally I love all of your KJP stuff. I makes me realize a lot of things in life and calms me down, when life's just to messy.

M.T. Rea, you're a source of inspiration that proves that nothing is impossible. You lighten up this world.

I just want to thank you for all your great music.

Thoughts and love from Denmark!

Keep 'em coming :)

Wow, that's awful nice! I love Kelly Joe ... I had about quit playing the guitar when I found him *and* Leo Kottke within the space of about a week.

To put it mildly: They made me change my mind.

Aping KJP isn't very "artistic", perhaps, but it makes me happy, and playing his tunes always, always chills me out. I missed him in Charlotte the other month--can't wait to see him live!

Thanks for the comments! Keep on playing.

Great tune. Your voice is perfect for this. I bet that was tough on a 12 string.

KLP hit´s me deep in my soul!

Have you got Western bell yet?

I heard some "songs" from the new album, and I was rather disappointed that there were no vocals on the album, so I wouldn't hesitate to buy, since I'm a poor student :(

but please tell me, if it is worth spending my last money on, even thought there are no vocals.
