Can you tell what the guitar is - I can't quite make it out

[BenjaminKammin]

@esnoey2000 This is an early 1990s Larrivee C-09. Thanks!

Hi Ben,

I've watched your videos for a few of years. Started when trying out Ojo. I have given that one a shot several time but still can't master it. Anyway, being an old dude, I just lately signed up on Youtube and am now able to comment. I've been playing and listening to Kottke since '73 and your covers are dead-on with maybe a little more feeling. Your rendition of Breaking of the Shells is just beautifully done. I look forward to listening and seeing more from you. Thank you.

@kordabridge Hello-many thanks for the kind words! Ben

[RatioofTime]

Amazingly flawless. Hope to see more.

[BenjaminKammin]

@RatioofTime Thanks!!

Hey, Ben. It just gets better through the years. I remember you playing this at the open mic at Lava Java back in '95. I'm glad to see you are still playing and playing well...Is that the same guitar you had then?

Hi Ben,

Ditto what kordabridge said. I'm "over the hill" and only just starting to learn some of Leo's tunes. Your playing is the cleanest and tastiest I've found on YouTube. Hope to come close to that one of these days.

I've been a Leo fan for many years, and it is just uncanny. Are you "channeling" Leo Kottke? Can you even do that if the persons still alive? Isn't there some metaphysical law about that? LOL

Seriously, what a great rendition. Amazingly well played ... and with feeling.

Great playing....Kottke's songs are tough....you are as good as anyone on YT. Your other stuff is good also!!

I love it when I can see someone really enjoying the sound of their music , it makes me enjoy it too. You've played a beautiful song so impeccably!
