Outstanding!  Did I miss a guitar acquisition somewhere?  Is that a J45 TV? Cali-Girl case on the rack behind you ?  I’m still kicking myself for forgetting to make you show me how to record last summer.

Dan, I got this gem last September or October. It's my #1. I get the same feeling playing it that I did playing your baby in my basement.

I have this baby, my J-45 Studio Walnut (thin body), and my Martin D15. I am done... really. You can all hold me to this. I will not get any more guitars. No more swaps. Timestamp this. Life has gotten busy, and these guitars do it all. 

 

I hope you are well my friend. Please stay safe... wear a mask, stay away from extreme news channels - both sides. Actually stay away from all news channels. Just stay safe. Say hello to Powder for me.

Nicely done rendition, Sal.  You are really easy-to-listen-to.  That's one of those "timeless" songs.  I can remember a particular place I was at while listening to that song,....some 50+ years ago....Thanks for the memories........again.👍

if I could go a month without touching a guitar, I sell the whole bunch.

re: “Summer in the”- lol.. A tough one to cover, but the Sal clone  nailed the harmonies.

Not an easy song - you grabbed it, , , and obviously isn't a beginner. But a whole month without the guitar!?  Were you out traveling or did  the hands not work. . 

Nice to see the relaxed relationship between you and the 45 btw.  Something seems to have clicked there.

Why did the LG2 leave?

[MorrisrownSal]

Dave... I just AB'd back and forth with the Studio enough times, and the Studio won. Nice guitar though.

Reality this is a belt tightening time too.

That's cool to hear another  45TV,  I hope mine sounds the same, I believe it dose.

Your strings look like a nickle alloy?  I'm ready for a string change on mine, going back to nickle bronze after Martin PBs  that are on it now.

Thanks

Sal-really great  in all regards!  That guitar sounds great and it’s response to you is spot on!  Not sure how you got the harmonies imbedded in there, but it works really great.  Technology!  Great song choice, too!

Really nice version Sal, I enjoyed it.

Nice job on a tricky tune, Sal.  Good to see you back on the horse.  I had a few weeks’ absence too...funny how a world health crisis can get to me these days.  Ah, to be young and bullet proof again....

Hope  all is well with you and yours, friend.  Keep singing.

Great job, Sal! Glad to have you back! Your arrangement had a Pettyesque vibe to it, to my ears. 🤘😜🤘

[MorrisrownSal]

Thanks everyone for listening...

[Sacdubro]

Well done thanks for sharing!

[TomG76]

What an excellent rendition.

Perfect, understated playing. Not a note wasted. Class.

[kelly campbell]

Sal, you've become the master of harmony !

[MorrisrownSal]

Thanks friends!
