Sleepwalk-Larry Carlton cover; compsed by S.,J. & A. Farina

This Santo and Johnny classic has been recorded by many artists; The Shadows, The Ventures, Chet Atkins, Steve Howe and Jeff Beck to name but a few...

It's Larry Carlton's version that's always been my favorite, though, and this rendition follows his fairly closely...

Larry used a custom solid body on his version, so I used my Burns Apache Special, which captures almost the exact same tone as Larry.

Dedicated to the memory of my mother, Marie, who said I could play this every day and she wouldn't have complained...For you, Mom..with love, Dan.

She was a beautiful woman, spirit and mind. I am proud to call her Mom. She didn't give birth to me, but she was there for me more than my own mother, when I needed a mother's love.

@yodabear63 You're making me cry, Yoda...

She loved you as a son, always...You know that.

Dan.

Fantastic rendition! I miss Mom too. Thank you my brother for a beautiful tribute to her and a heartfelt recording.

@yodabear63 What can you say about Mom, Yoda ?

Our love for her was without measure, and this was the most suitable tribute I could give her !

Peace, Brother...

@QbrianT Thanks, Brian.

Wanted mine to at least be as good as yours...

On behalf of Mom, I thank you, also.

She really loved that tune, and I played just like that !

If you hear Larry Carlton's version, mine's close...

Regards,

Dan.
