    RealKurt, well I like your TAC name for sure because you are the real deal. You have a lot of TAC fans including me. Great performance. Totally get why you are in love with that guitar…so sweet. You are a great finger picker and I was interested to see you rock with your whole body to the groove. Thanks for sharing!

      Hey Joe, thanks for the kind remarks! I don’t think my answer is the end-all-be-all, but I’ve definitely put a lot of hours into that picking pattern in particular. I think anybody can play guitar that way with enough practice! Also, I get to hide behind a lot of technology – a nice interface, and great software – and that helps a lot too 🎸🎙

    😍Vividly brilliant. No more to say. Only this…👏👏👏 It’s so good that you did a tune from one of my fave artists. (Love me some Isbell.) Thank you for sharing your lovely rendition. (And, of course, I love the the lil’ mahogany beauty (such a top choice.)

    @realkurt get’s me every time.😿 That was beautiful man!

      LC!!!!!! Thanks – I appreciate you. I definitely love me some Isbell – I’ve been working on Vampires, Elephant, and Flying over Water too. Pretty sure I’ll get to the whole catalogue one day, LOL. His songs all feel so real, he holds nothing back 👍

    Awesome performance of a great song, @realkurt 👏
    You have got the half-yodel (don’t know what else to call it) down pat.

    When I was searching the market for my first acoustic guitar in decades six years ago, I had problems with the all-mahogany guitars I tried out – they sounded to dry for me.
    Seems like I just tried the wrong guitars.
    This one sounds really lovely – Congratz 😀

      Thanks Niels – really shocking how some of these Mahogany guitars can sound so nice, while you search for yours, I’ll keep half-yodeling 😎

    Hi Kurt, great job! And congrats on your new friend! You have such a powerful voice and strong guitar skills. Really love your sound and style. I remember your original “Going Back to Vicksburg “ (not sure I got the title right) and thought to myself, as I’m sure everyone else did, “this guys got it!” . Love the way you dive right in and make it happen. Hope to see you soon on VOM or better yet; live!

      Thanks John, of course your remarks come after you slayed on open mic last might, I’ll confess I was sweating a bit following you – a couple spots after, hahaha. Greta memory, I call that tune “Vicksburg”!

    Hi Kurt,

    Late to the party, haven’t checked in, in a while. So nice to see and hear you and sounding as solid as always. Speaking of sounding, your new baby sounds really smooth and mellow. It goes really well with the tone of your voice.

    I’m happy to say we’re “getting the band back together” with our first outdoor jam on June 5th. The Windy City welcomes you, I’ll even pop for an Italian Beef and or a “Chicago” style dog.

    Great to hear you again. 🎸🎤

      Thanks Denny, Really great to hear the jams are starting up again, congrats! Hopefully I’ll get to see you there one of these days, for me it’s a Chicago style hotdog all the way, actually, make it 2!

    Great job @RealKurt, miss hearing you in person at FWS jams. Someday it will happen again. In the past year or two I have become a big Jason Isbell fan, even picked up vinyl of “The Nashville Sound”. Really like Cumberland Gap and White Man’s World from the LP. Coincidentally both are A minor based songs, which is a favorite chord. Great songwriter, several other great tracks on the LP as well.

      Cool, thanks for the remarks Mike! Yeah, Isbell’s got it going on, I was trying to pick up tickets to see him pre-pandemic, now that we seem to be turning the corner, I’ll be resuming the search. I’m not sure there’s a song he’s released that’s anything less than fantastic

    You never cease to amaze Kurt. I enjoyed your VOM performances and these polished professional youtube performances are just fantastic. You pick excellent songs for your voice and guitar style. So great to listen to. Keep them coming!
