We are ready Richard! Got to give the customers what they want. We’ll hit the gospel stage with a full set of songs.

I agree! This one was off the beaten track for sure Kale, but I try to keep our song choices interesting.

Thanks Danny! This is a simple song, just three chords, but the melody for the verses varies, so it requires some creativity since I’m not great at imitating that many nuances!

Great questions Brian and Alan! I don’t know the answer. Ballads are fun to do and this one is no exception though it is a sad song.

I never thought I'd hear this song a 2 string. Such a great tune.
