Heart of Gold. Humble cover of a great Neil Young song. (factory made guitar)

Heart Of Gold. Because I play at harp and guitar, people tell me I should do some Neil Young. I have resisted trying because I don't think anyone sounds nearly as good as Neil on his iconic classics...

But I got this 6 string for Christmas and I have been working almost every day to improve my six string play and to learn some classic songs that I love. This video shows me at nearly the best level I hope to achieve on this this song.

I am not taking a six to Cally-Fest. But if there are enough folks signed up to have a six string open mic- I hope to borrow a six and try this one.

Excellent rendition Unc J.  You're looking and playing slick with that 6-stringer!

Thanks, Kaleness, Pick and Rick.  I agree on the Harvest album being one of the greatest.  Rick I will treat you six string gently at the fest.  I just need it for 2 songs.

I really enjoy this performance Uncle! So many great songs on his Harvest album.  Landfill Loretta and the Iowa sax sound very Young.  One of your best vocals! I’ll have my six string ready for you if needed.

Thanks, Derek.  Much appreciated from a good six, 5, 4, and 3  stringer like you.

Making good progress on the nice guitar, John. Great cover.

Comment by Uncle John on March 22, 2021 at 12:39pm

Thanks, Dave.  I am liking the Martin, but I pick up old Landfill Lorretta as much or more.  No big worries if Lorretta gets  a scratch or bang.

Thanks, Andries.  Especially for saying I look 'youngish'

Thanks, Andries.  Good to count our blessings.
