Really, Fire and Rain is not only a wonderful song but Neil just does a masterly lesson on it. All thumbs pointing way the hell upstairs, eh Willem? I love the song but have never tried to go anywhere near it as I couldn't see my way to managing it at all. After Neil's lesson, I'm all fired up to get this song down. It will be my next video post... so that means you've all got about 4-6 weeks peace from me!! Maybe longer... ;-)

I also want to give a big thumbs up to Neil for singing it. That helps me with the timming. I know Neil would perfer I use the original recording for that but sometimes there is so much going on in the song its just easier this way. Thanks again Neil!

I think it's a great lesson too! But as Suzi pointed out to me- why is it only getting a 1-star rating?! It got a five from me & Suzi..

I gave it 5 stars and was first to vote and it only showed 1. I reported it to BigJim but I think the boys are all flat to floor getting other things done....

I also gave "Fire and Rain" a five star rating. In just 10 minutes, Neil helped me correct a problem that I had been repeating for almost 30 years with this song. I finally have it down now! lol
