Phil Beer - The Downeaster 'Alexa'

Phil Beer playing the Billy Joel song - The Downeaster 'Alexa' - at The Raven Folk
Club, upstairs at The Bear and Billet pub Chester on Sunday 16th January 2011.
Just one song from a really good set.
Filmed with a Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX1.
Sorry about the wobbly bits, but The Billet does serve very good beer :-)

Phil, what were you strumming? It looked like only four strings and small....

[congabongoman]

@mstoutiv Hi, it is small and it does only have four strings.

Phil was playing a TENOR GUITAR.

They are becoming very popular these days.

He messed up the ending. The order of the lyrics.

i really like this version. i'm american and a musician myself, but i find the english folky sound he puts into this song very beautiful. great work!
