We recently returned from visiting family in Kentucky for a really wonderful 3 week stay.
While we were there, they kindly let me use their acoustic guitar and it was so nice to just sit outside in the garden and play.
In the UK we just have a small yard, so I usually only play indoors.
I recorded this on my phone, kids nearby were riding motorised bikes as you will hear near the end, and also a bird decided to end it for me with a flourish LOL or was it laughing at my performance!! who knows?. :-)

mike evans: @alanr Nice one Alan, well done

Jerry: Your family vacation sounds wonderful. Family is so very critical and appreciated, love on this end too. This is a new song, and your recording is absolutely beautiful...esp. how you recorded it. That must have been a "Bird's" compliment on the end. We know they have very great hearing!

AlanR: @jerry Thanks Jerry, it really was wonderful and yes, family is so very important. these new fangled phones are so good these days, even a 67+ year old grandad can just press record and place it on the table. :-)

Joshua Bo Gallotti: divolino After listening Stagger Lee and Melancholy Hill, i must say your guitar-performance has me totally in awe. Such beautiful melody, it somehow bring me to a very peaceful place. BTW, the background noice is a very fine touch of the whole production, even though it was not planned, it somehow just added life to it.
