Hi All been busy laying Concrete. Finally put this one to bed. It put me to bed many a night. My Wife would find me asleep in the music room. Dave Very Happy https://soundcloud.com/user-627782904/skylark

Hi Earnest Thank you glad you liked it. I remember watching the Linda Ronstadt/ Nelson Riddle video years ago and came across it on youtube. Dave Smile

Hi Jim It is a classic song. Trouble is with me I get half way through a song and start thinking of the next one which tends to drag out the process. Along with laying three tons of Concrete. Glad you liked it Dave Smile

Hello David,

that's a beautiful one.
Where did you find this one?
I couldn't even find the song on google.

Hi Larry Thank you. I do love the old smooth classics. C6th is still a mystery to me so have to find where the chords are hiding. This song used both tunings being a Uni. It's taken quite awhile to get used to using all of the pedals and levers instead of thinking of it as two separate tunings. Wish I had started on a Uni years ago. Dave Very Happy

Hi Andy Thank you. Can't wait until I retire just over 6 months to go. My wife retires a month later which means I get the music room all to myself as she works from home. I'm stuck in one corner while she spreads out over the lovely studio desk I built about three years ago and haven't used yet. I can then play to my hearts content Bliss! Dave Very Happy
