Following In Your Tracks (Song To Woody) Demo on 5 String Cigar Box Guitar

A rough demo of a new song. I wrote it after reading Bound For Glory by Woody Guthrie.
I loved the book. It had less about his music than I was expecting, but the stunningly great writing more than made up for it. The parts about his childhood were especially good...
I'm playing a home made guitar. I have a video about it here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68zj3qksc18&t=8s

thanks a lot for your very generous comment Ernest. I'm proud to be mentioned in the same sentence as Sandy Denny and Joni Mitchell!

Great song; beautiful unpretentious playing and voice, which for me somehow captures Sandy Denny of Fairport Convention and Joni Mitchell. Love it! Love it! More! More! And from a grandmother guitar builder yet! This is what is great about cigar box NATION!

Thanks Dave, yes it's a flatpup. I made a cover from a cream plastic scratch plate to protect it...

Lovely guitar sound B. Nice song for Woody. Elmer Pup? Great tone.

Really nice sound...great picking too. Always nice to watch folks play the CBG without the slide. Enjoyed this!
