Awk! I would have given up before 15 takes. Great persistence and good result. I like your slides and hammer ons and pull offs. And the song is a good one. You may be performing this one now in your sleep after all that recording effort.

[Philb]

That was great! Nicely done!

[Mrfredsporty]

I especially like all the little licks in it. Thanks so much

Beautiful song (my first time hearing it or the mention of the Canadian band) and well-played and sung! Thank you for persevering and sharing it with us!

[Braden]

Thanks a lot, much appreciated! Check out the Hip, never really took off in the US but one of our Canadian treasures. thanks for watching:)

[ElloranJ]

Will do! Some of my favorite bands are Canadian!

Nice one very seldom do I just sit down and crank out a post worthy take so kudos to you for keeping at it.

[Braden]

Thanks for watching Kevin and your encouraging words. Much appreciated!

Wow! I clicked expecting John Connolly’s classic story of a fisherman’s life, and afterlife (?) and found this gem instead. Such a great song and your heartfelt presentation is really moving. Thanks for hanging in and posting this.

[Braden]

Thanks for checking it out Carl!. Much appreciated! I also checked out John Connolly’s song and thought it was great so thanks for that too!

I really like this performance @Braden. As you know I am a Canadian, grew up there and I was and still am a fan of artists like The Band (Robbie Robertson), Gordon Lightfoot, The Guess Who (Burton Cummings), BTO, Rush, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Bruce Cockburn, Chilliwack, Lover Boy, Saga, Parachute Club and many more that I not thinking of … oh David Clayton-Thomas of Blood Sweat and Tears. I moved to Florida in the late 80’s and never was exposed to the Tragically Hip. But after the fact, when Gord was dying I did try pretty hard to like their music. I gave it a good effort but couldn’t warm up to them, maybe I just missed too much by not being exposed to Canadian Radio at the end of the century. All my Canadian friends love their music.

[Braden]

Hi Pete! thanks for watching and your comments. Yep, so many great Canadian acts over the years. I concur with all on your list but will add Leonard Cohen, Bachman Turner Overdrive, Crash Test Dummies, Cowboy Junkies, and Blue Rodeo just to name a few more. Too bad you never connected with the Hip but I would say keep on trying! Thanks again brother and keep on rockin!

[petelanger]

Yup, unbelievable song writing chops there between Joni, Neil, Cohen and Gordon and some world class voices with vary few who can match them: Mitchell, Cummings and Clayton-Thomas….

[petelanger]

And Paul Rodgers! Oh My Goodness, I was today years old when I learned he’s a Canadian! I love Paul Rodgers, so many great memories from my youth.
Edit: I see that he married a Canadian beauty queen in ’97 and later became one himself, glad that I wasn’t completely crazy thinking he’s british!
