How about a lesson on this ballad by Bruce Cockburn? It's got a beautiful melody, some challenging fingerpicking, and the lyrics tell a beautiful story getting older, which is something a lot of us senior members are dealing with !

Hi MB and welcome!

Thanks for the suggestion. Would you please include a link of the song? (a YouTube link)

This might be an interesting one, too. I like BNL's version even better than Cockburn's. and it's more suited to an acoustic lesson. Might even make for a good instrumental. And/or include the piano accents and cello solo, a' la "Year of The Cat."

Thanks for the videos!
And I also agree that the BNL version of "Dangerous Times" is more suited to an acoustic lesson.
