Thank you 🙏

Thank you!

Thanks Bowen, I sure appreciate it. It’s funny you sent this, as I just listened to Chris’ version recently, and thought I’d like to actually learn it his way. But I’m not very adept with alternate tunings, and the to-do list grows ever longer. Maybe someday, as they say. Sorry about your father. I wasn’t aware of him, but just now spent some time scratching the surface. Quite a career, and great songs. Seems like he did things his way, and a lot of people loved him for it. Hard to beat that. I immediately recognized “Place in the choir” as I have little kids, and have heard various renditions. I had no idea he wrote it. Thanks again for the kind words, and for opening my eyes to your dad’s music. The best to you and yours in all you do. -Matt

Aw, thanks man. I’m pretty well self taught too. It’s my wife’s hat, I’ll let her know you like it.

Thank you 🙏

Thank you, Karen. I truly appreciate it.

Thanks man.

Thanks for listening! I definitely can’t approach Chris’s style, but I sure do appreciate it. He’s one of kind indeed!

Thank you

Thank you! Very impressive work yourself, I’m following you now.

Thank you

Thanks!

👍🏼👍🏼

Ha ha, yeah, I figured I could change it just a tad to suit my age. Thanks for listening, and so closely too! Cheers!

Thank you 😊

Thank you Mary. I always appreciate a listen and kind words. I watched a few of you videos, was wondering what kind of guitar you’re using? Keep singing and playing!

@@Midaddz1 That is a 1944 Martin O. It is amazingly light and bright and has been my friend for over 30 years.

Mary very cool. It looked and sounded like something special.

Thanks for listening!

Thank you! Will do.

Thank you. I’m not sure what the deal is with the video quality. I must not be uploading in highest definition.

It’s a Kalamazoo KG-21, which we’re made from 1935-1943. I think this is an early one based on the headstock and bridge. I haven’t been able to locate a serial number. It’s a cool guitar for sure. Thanks for listening, cop away!

I’ll see what I can do, it’s been hard to accomplish much lately. It’s pretty straightforward, I’m playing out of D position with a capo on 5 strings at the 2nd fret, leaving the low E open. So basically drop E. Pretty much D, G and A. Thanks for listening!

@@Midaddz1 You answered my question before I could ask it. Thanks.

Thanks Luke. No tab, just managed to squeeze Chris’ beautiful tune into my limited fingerpicking technique. I can give you more info if you’re interested. Cheers.

Matt, this is absolutely beautiful! You are clearly a very talented young man.....thanks for sharing 👏

Indeed.
