I played it on the Tom Guy curly maple tenor that was advertised recently on the marketplace. Thanks for taking a look!

SO GOOD! And that Tom Guy is so nice- he sure builds the prettiest necks I have ever seen.
That isn't by chance the one with the owl on the back is it? How I covet that Ukulele (Owl fanatic).
Anyways- always fun to watch these- inspirational!

Eugene -

You are great!!!!! I love the way you play...great strumming and fingerpicking. You're my inspiration! Is it possible to get some CDs and DVDs of your playing? I'd be glad to pay for them. What are the strums you use on The Crawdad Song and on Big Rock Candy Mountain?

BTW...I'd buy you all the Starbucks coffee you want if you come to Seattle!

Thanks....

One of the first songs I learned to play on the guitar
back in the '60's. Always a crowd pleaser.
Thanks for the link, I'm gonna work on a uke version.

Cheers.

Oh man - you are getting quite the following here in Washington state. You are OUR kind of people. Lots of energy and talent. Another great pick-me-up tune, with blazing finger picking. You rock - thanks!
