If You Could Read My Mind

Testing out some new songs with my NEW GUITAR!! Got her this week and still needs a set-up, but you can see the bliss on my face! Plus, I love this song. We will tighten it up and get it gig-ready.

Very nice; well done! That being said……you didn’t say what guitar brand, and I couldn’t see the entire head stock. It looks great. Is that a grand auditorium/grand concert body style? Really enjoyed this.

    Doing okay! I hope you are also. It looks like that sound box has found a good home.

@Marisa – Sounds “gig ready” to me. Nice tone with your new guitar. Very good harmony vocal blend. Nothing like that NGD feeling!

I remember when this song hit the airwaves, I was 10 at the time and my sisters were obsessed with it. I didn’t get it at first, I was into rock like the Beatles, Cream and the Guess Who. but after a few months I began to like it and 0ver the years since I’ve learned to love Gordon Lightfoot and many other folksy artists like him. He was an amazing song writer!

I’ve always loved the line “won’t read the book because the ending is just to hard to take.” Good performance and good “Song for a Winter’s Day”. (Perhaps another suggestion.)

Wow Marisa…that was great, really liked it! One of Gordon’s best songs I think. Your playing is so good and beautiful singing (both of you:). Love the emotion…your posts are motivating and inspire me to keep on working on my own performances…thanks sister, keep em coming:)
