This is my version of the Van Morrison classic from 1970. Played acoustically on a 3 string cigar box guitar tuned to D5 (DAd) tuning.

Great sound capsule capture here in this cover Derek!  Van is a tough cover vocally, I love your take! That guitar sings beautifully. Moondance on brother!

Thank you very much Bear. This nice loud little guitar was built by my friend Jack Noller and when I first picked it up an strummed told him I might have to buy this one :-)
