  Intro from an early lesson of Brian’s EP047 followed by a song that means a lot to me right now. Enjoy

  I thought you were going to start singing earlier, but when you eventually started to sing and play your song that you love, that’s when the song came alive. Super good work with this one.
  
  Go slow and practice correct technique, and your abilities will dramatically improve.

  Love how some people can express their feelings through music, I feel like that’s what you did here. The opening riff from Brian’s lesson was a great intro leading into your song which you sang with a lot of heart, it was a great listen – thank you for sharing it with us, Brian!

  Well that is truly a blast from the past. When EP047 came out, I was determined to learn it to perfection. Great singing also – seems like D might be a good key for your voice. I see the Kestrel restaurant down at the ferry terminal is hiring musicians quite often to play for their Happy Hour. Maybe I’ll see you there sometime.

  Hi Cloughie, going way back in Brian’s catalog for that one. But even better, sharing this song and your vocal with us is a great treat. So well done with great feeling and style. Really enjoyed it!
