he played this live at a Troubador show after Angry Words hit..seen him 8-9 times more & never heard it e again. I thought i forgot the name of the song until now. SOO stoked to find it here, Amazing song, amazing player... at that show he closed with ' a day in the life' as well and it was absolutely stunning AND I WAS HOOKED ... i have followed hin since and he has done that close at least 2more times since then, .every time, without fail, his shows are amazing.

@tif70 Now a Willy Porter version of 'A Day in the Life' is something I would like to hear! Our show ended with a Jackson cover.

@glennbroadway Same for me, except I saw him in Amsterdam. He closed with an amazing rendition of 'A Day in the Life'. I had to visit quite a few shops to find his Dog Eared Dream album. But was totally worth the quest :-)

@glennbroadway : Hah, I saw him supporting Tori in Amsterdam, on the same tour. And yeah, been following him ever since. He is amazing and deserves a far bigger audience.

Yes Willy is an amazing human being as well as being one of the best guitarists, and to top it off amazing vocal tone, singer , songwriter, performer... He has it all...the whole package. He deserves soo much better!!...In answer to the 9 string he is playing is a guild...very similar to a 12 string however the bottom 3 strings are not doubled, instead they are of heavier gauge in order to tune very low to get very low bass notes.
