        Was in a waltzing mood this month, so I worked out this lovely tune. Hope you like:

          Really nice arrangement Duffy and played with great feeling. Cool addition of the harmonics, some tasteful chords and moving up the neck playing the tune an octave higher. Well done.

                  Fired you channel up on ps4(i had the motorbike racing on) that was an amazing rendition of moon river Duffy, so suited to the voice of your Taylor guitar.

                    Another great classic from you Duffy. Deep respect for undertaking this beautiful but more than tricky melody for fingerstyle guitar.

                                  I hadn’t played for 25 years. With the lockdown, I started getting exercise by walking a nearby golf course. Then my wife said, why don’t we play? So we ordered up some clubs and joined the local club (which was nowhere near as expensive as I thought).

                                  I used to be able to drive the ball 250+ with a crappy wood driver (wooden shaft). I could reliably hit a 2 iron over 200 yards. Now, I seem to hit every club like 120 yards, and the only difference with the longer clubs is that the direction becomes more random. Gonna have to figure something out…

                                    Golf is fun will wait for cooler weather.. yes you reminded me I could use a set of garage sale clubs if you score legit hundred on 18 hole course.. that’s above avg for me and happy when I just hit the ball straight and not lose too many.. if I have the original ball I played with after 18 holes.. that be rare good game of golf!

                                        Very soulful,
                                        Feel strange, it brings me a little melancholy, as if I did lose something,..
                                        Strange feeling, great playing.

                                          Duffy, was there a rain delay? Frost delay? Lightning storm? Why were you not knocking the ball 300 yards straight dahn the middle, 52 degree to four feet, tap in for birdie?????? Anyway, the reason you did not play golf was OUR PLEASURE!!! VERY WELL DONE!!! You made it your own and now you “OWN” IT!! Loved it! Bob
