Post by Bill Ferguson »

Thanks to Scotty, my wife was allowed to video my first time on stage at the ISGC.

Here is a clip with my friend Ray Harrison singing "City Lights"

I hope you enjoy.

This is one of the better covers of this song I have heard. Really nice playing by everyone onstage. Your friend Ray's singing reminds me a bit of another Ray who also sings a pretty good version of this tune. :wink: Great job Bill. Thanks for posting this.

As good as the video is, you should have heard it in person! Great playing and singing on a great song. I hope to play like that when I grow up.

Roger, the only way I "done good" was having great pickers like you behind me to cover my many mistakes.

I sure hope to do it again next year.

I thought the same, and said as much on the you tube comments, he has a great style and phrasing.

Loved it when you played it (I was in the audience) and I still think it's great. Thanks for the video, Bill!

Kind Regards, Walter

Great job Bill but then I would have expected nothing less! Congratulations on making the big stage.

We need to get together and jam over the holidays with Nicholson and Dodd like last year. And this year you can participate since your back is better :)
