' * ' = instrumental only

Played on my spruce/rosewood Taylor 818 uber-Jumbo Grand Orchestra.
Thought of switching to a 12 string, but I was in a groove.

It was a total gas.

I fingerpick all my guitars using my nails as picks.

Been playing for 60 years, so my songs are a bit on the older side. In fact, "Maria Elena" and the two Leadbelly songs are older than I am.

Be well and play well,

Don

Didn’t know about this day. Being February in Montana right now, I’ll wait for the official day!

The official day is usually near the end of August.

Also good to remember is National Talk like a Pirate Day, which I believe will liven up the odd Sep 19th.

Avast mateys, belay that order to come about.
