Absolutely brilliant Tim! Seen bits of your T.V. show but actually last saw you performing live at the "Lanes Bar" on Brighton seafront aeons ago....just after we'd left H.G.S. Hope to catch a performance if we're ever in the Chenonceaux region of the Loire at the same time next year! Alan (Scaz).
Many thanks Guy - the pick guard was added by a guitar maker many years ago in Brighton when my thumb was beginning to make a serious hole! I've calmed down a bit since though.
Knew him in Brighton in @ 1967 ... he was clearly going to do well even then! I also thought the very first time I heard this song that I had to do it!
@nondescript11 Do you remember us: we had a duo? Keith and Cherry Meddings ? Stamford Arms etc. Lots of musical people.. Terry Masterson, Spud Taylor , etc etc. Cherry died last March, after a long physical illness for which she refused treatment for religious reasons. My changed name also had a story. I understand you are in France? K
@@kaymeddings4162 Hi again Kay - yes, certainly remember the names but I'm very sorry to hear about Cherry. I'm pleased she was able to share in what were the best of times for us folkies in a lot of ways. Yes, I moved permanently to France over 40 years ago but I'm now based in Kazakhstan (honest!) where my (new) wife is teaching in a French school. All good fun. Not playing a lot but do the occasional pub gig when I get back to Blighty. I hope you're still keeping your hand in too. Thanks for getting in touch. Tim
Nice!! Really nice. You did honor to a wonderful song and a great songwriter. Well played, and well sung - The Martin sounded beautiful clean and crisp. Thanks
Sure love the way you make that old Martin talk with those clean, masterful licks and your vocals are truly a Celtic treat...such a beautiful job you've done with Chris's composition...near as good as his own; maybe, as good in your own style, and I know he would love it, too! I'm working on this piece and will be referring back to your rendition for inspiration and reference. KUDOS to you, Tim! ~ Richard
Wow ! - thanks Dave, great to hear from you too and yes of course I remember those happy days. Actually renewed a few contacts in Germany and go back to gig from time to time. Barry Denyer made a great guitar for me last year and trying to arrange some joint gigs with Winchie! Nice to hear that you're still at it too - and living where? I'm supposed to be heading back to the States in 2011. All the best. Tim
@redbirdjazzz Thanks. And a pleasure to introduce you to Chris. One of the best around and constantly touring. If you get the chance to see him live don't don't miss it! Tim
Heavens! Thanks Alan - I love all this nostalgic stuff and catching up with old chums! Hope you're doing OK. I'm down in the south - keep in touch (via the web site ?) and if you're ever this way......... All the very best. Tim
Thanks so much Richard for your kind comments. This was one of those songs I just had to do the instant I heard it and I've always been a fan of Mr. Smither! Good luck with your own version and don't hesitate to get in touch if you need a helping hand. Thanks again. Tim
Great music and I am interested in the double pick guard . I have never seen that on a Matin . I have a 00018MC and an older o18 from 1949 . Great sound and performance here. All the best , Guy
Nice one. Compelling performance and engaging vid Tim. The Martin and your playing sound better than ever (but you both look a bit scuffed round the sound hole). Looking forward to more John
Thanks a lot - my little 00018 was a gift from my Dad in 1972. He's long gone but his guitar sounds better and better - I must try and work on a better quality sound vid!
Superb cover version Tim. Thanks m8.... You've made my day 👍🏼

Very nice singing and playing! I'll have to check out some of Chris Smither's work. Thanks for introducing me to a new artist!
Fantastic! Great performance.
Thanks Dan - hope to see you in Canada one of these days!

Oh - thanks Kay! Took me back. Happy days in the Brighton folk clubs.

My old 000-18! 1972 and still going strong.
Many thanks for the compliment!

Gracias Kike! Looking a bit older these days but the guitar is still going strong!
