BLACKBIRD cover by Jay Smith

my brother passed away in April this year. He use to sing this song to his children. They wanted me to learn it and post it up on youtube. I'm using my Takamine EF740SGN lefty and direct out to the left and mic'd input to the right. I looped the beat by tapping the guitar. Not an exact copy, but close enough

my gigs have been heavily damaged from the hurricane. I live in port charlotte where the storm came in. most of the venues were tore up. I've lost about 50% of my gigs. It should slowly come back by late Nov-Dec. My main gigs are in Venice, Englewood, on down to Naples. Friend me on facebook and I post weekly my gigs

@@leftyjaysmith thanks for the reply. I'll have my wife friend you on Facebook. I got tired of their censorship and left 2 years ago. I'm glad you are doing ok with the storm. My brother in law has a house in Bradenton. He moved from fort Myers and google earth shows his former house no longer exists. It's bad. We did well here in coastal south Carolina.
