Nice. The first time I heard that song was in 1975 in my apartment up off NE 70th and Halsey when station KINK did their album preview of the first Guy Clark album. I'm sure I have the cassette I made of that preview here someplace. I also own it on vinyl and CD. It was the beginning of a long time admiration for the man.
That was really excellent!
Great job, Evan!
We’re excited to see this film next week:

That was really great. Your playing and arrangements fabulous, and you captured the soul of the song. Nice recording too. I'd like to do just one of those things half as well. Thanks for sharing.
A friend of mine sent me this. I need to frame it one of these days.
Thank you Luna Pick - lots of time in my little studio this past year and a steep learning curve re: recordingQuote:

That's a great portrait. Get that into a frame!Quote:

That was the Heiden F Artist. The other instruments were a 1953 00-18, a 1965 Hofner bass, a Danocaster tele and a scratchy voiceQuote:

I enjoyed that, Evan. The singing was really fine, as well as the playing. Excellent arrangements and playing on the tunes following as well.
Been listening to a lot of Guy Clark lately. Really nice job of keeping the feeling of the song while making it your own. Jim
Here is a photo of Guy playing a mandola at Carter's, and also a photo of a mandola on his sun porch. Guy's biographer says he played mandola most days.
