AnneS Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Ahh, very nice! I enjoyed that a bunch. Glad you survived long enough to post it. Never heard this one, so thanks for sharing (and for not dying...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortyearspickn Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 BBG, Excellent! You're voice sounded perfect to me - the flu must agree with you. Your fingerpicking was flawless. And that Martin.... You can certainly quit your day job any time now !!! Thanks for posting. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissouriPicker Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 To really put that song across, one has to make it real and you make it very "real." I don't care how great or beautiful a voice someone supposedly has. I care about if I like what I hear.......You are excellent on this. This song comes across like "I've been there and done that." The fingerpicking was cool too. You don't need a band to sound good when you've got the right magic. Kristofferson wrote "Sunday Morning Coming Down," but he said Cash made it sound like he was the one who lived it. Good job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blindboygrunt Posted August 7, 2015 Author Share Posted August 7, 2015 Thanks everyone. MP , just what are you trying to say? There's me thinking i was Orbison incarnate. Lol Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissouriPicker Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Good point, BBG. It was the absence of the "shades" that convinced me you were not Roy...lol.......I've been fighting aches and pains and coughs and lots of head and chest congestion for the last two weeks. My daughter, the nurse who thinks she's a doctor, says it allergies. Six of one, half-dozen of the other. Who knows? I just want to get rid of it. Keep the music alive!

MorrisrownSal Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 This is your best to date. I love the hyrbrid picking... clean... where your nail occasionally does the nice down strum. This is just great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EuroAussie Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Yes, very nice BBG. Totally down your allley, sweet vocals and the guitar soumds grest, lovelly sparkle. Reminds me of my J-40.

Buc McMaster Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Good work there, Stu. Even your post-flu voice is great for that tune, and the 35 sounds nice & warm choked up with the capo. May we all get lucky now and then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnneS Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 I keep going back for more listens. I like your version more than Knofler's, truth be told. Dang... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorrisrownSal Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Anne... I agree - Grunts version is awesome. And by the way, these threads... I keep saying and thinking... are the best part of this forum. I never heard the song before Grunt. And this is not the first time y'all have turned me on to new music and ideas. I am working out my own version on my Gibson LG2 - I wont share it here, because frankly I dont want to encroach on Grunts oh-so-sweet version; I'll just say thank you, work out the song, and make it part of my "coffee-house set".

blindboygrunt Posted August 9, 2015 Author Share Posted August 9, 2015 No way Sal. Let's hear it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorrisrownSal Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Grunt it aint creative... but it was hard getting the picking somewhat clean. This has warts. I almost feel that this song helped me solidify some fundamentals I need. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NrwytWlTpL8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
