Hello all -

Completing my Jay Farrar binge, here's a song from his Son Volt days. I really tried to play it slower than the original, but I think I still sped it up a little towards the end. Sorry the fretboard's cut off from the picture - has to sit closer to the computer & webcam to read the lyrics off the screen.

Thanks
Jeff

Jeff,

It's like Christmas to a Jay Farrar-Fan around here, tonight!

You said you were concluding your Farrar-binge.
If you are I hope you fall of the wagon again... sometime real soon!



Keep mining the terrain. & Keep 'em comin', Jeff! (Please.)

Actually, I've taken a liking to "Life Worth Living" and will probably take a shot at it - it seems a bit more complicated than these first two.

No idea who Jay Farrer is but I'm enjoying your videos any way Jeff. Like that klaid back easy style. Good voice!

I don't know the artist or the song, but I certainly enjoyed your version. Off to itunes to check him out. Nice job. Do you have any fingerpicking songs in your repetoire?

Jeff, another good one. Sounded really good and I liked it a lot. All you need now is to incorporate the harmonica :laugh:

Good job

Bob
