That's why they call it 'spirits'.. Spirits never die, even as this old folk song feigns sympathy for their faux demise.. They live forever, to titillate, haunt, and sometimes destroy the living. But forget all that... It's Happy Hour!!

  • This one had me mesmerized from start to finish, Larry. You've got the perfect setting, beautiful instrumentation, fabulous vocal & harmonies, and a haunting song. I felt like I was sitting right there by the fire listening to a master storyteller. Perfect for this chilly winter night...

  • Holy cow that was great!

    Perfect just perfect. Beautiful guitar playing and voice harmonies. Steve Winwood is definately in your range. He would be impressed too, I'm sure.

    Love the fireplace too. My old apartment used to have one and I miss it's warmth so much on these cold winter nights.

  • The 3 dislikes are the 3 John's deaf killers!

  • Great job

  • Except for getting a lil lost towards the end not bad at all

  • Thiis the first cover I've seen on Youtube which beats the original meaning Traffic's version. I'm teaching myself guitar and not doing too badly but have set me a goal. Lovely stuff!

  • You really covered this great tune perfectly! I don't think I've ever heard it played any better. Thanks for sharing and I'll add this to the World United Music Website under great indie artists on Youtube.

  • this song makes me want to dose hard and get losat in the fire behind you...so old english 1607 working the fields trying to raise the crops to havew enough food to stay the harsh winter....very well done!!!!!

  • God that was beautiful, nice cover my man...nicely done

  • OMG it can't be you singing!it's PERFECT!

  • Winwood's version of this song was one of the earliest folk rock performances to turn me on to traditional music. I love it to this day, and your rendition is simply magical, Larry. Love your videos, and can get lost for hours in your healing-hypnotic talent. You should be available on prescription, let alone subscription!

  • this is a great song I wanna learn to play.just love the midevilness of the song KMK
