    Posted by Braden on October 16, 2025 at 8:25 am

    Hi everyone I posted this song about a year ago but to be honest I was never really satisfied with it…the singing over the guitar wasnt right. So I re-learned it which was quite the challenge, fighting the old muscle memory from the previous attempt. Moral of the story…try to get it right the first time! Anyway I think this is a bit closer to the original. Hope you like it and thanks for watching!

    This was great Braden!! Your playing was very smooth. Only you m ow where any errors were. I thought it was very well timed, fluid, and your vocals were perfect for this — probably would sound good with any John Prine song.

    That was great!! Your playing is so fluid and it is very impressive how you keep that bass going while playing the treble strings. Really excellent job.

    Very fluid picking with excellent vocal timing. @Braden – “I wish you all the best” (While you notice things not “perfect” there is no need to say so as most folks don’t recognize minor imperfections.)

    Nice one @Braden redoing songs is hard and you did it well. I do that once in awhile Tony suggested we should redo songs see how far you have come. So don’t feel you are the only one revisiting some songs are so good they deserve it. Keep on pickin ha ha.

      Hey Kevin thanks for watching and the support. Someone told me the other day that maybe you never really quite nail a song, and its always going to be a work in progress. Each one is a journey on its own and just like everything guitar, some days you got it and some you dont. But sweet are the days when you got it! And each one of those is just a bit better than the last time, and you know youre heading the right way. thanks again for checking in K and keep on making music brother
