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.

Makes sense Mike, a tree is a significant thing to trade. I knew Guy built guitars and had some mentoring from Michael Heiden

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.

Have to ask, which of your fine sounding mandolins did you use on the recording, if you don't mind saying.
Very cool, nice gear. Stuff that works. . .
I enjoyed that, Evan. The singing was really fine, as well as the playing. Excellent arrangements and playing on the tunes following as well.

Robert Johnson's mother, describing blues musicians:
"I never did have no trouble with him until he got big enough to be round with bigger boys and off from home. Then he used to follow all these harp blowers, mandoleen (sic) and guitar players."

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
Really fine playing and singing, Evan. And a fine recording and mix too! I think Guy would approve.
