Sorry I'm late...
I knew it was gonna be great from your animated opening, "open" strum. (Very good showmanship there...you looked like you were showing us a magic trick! HeHe! FUNNY! CRACKED ME UP!)
Okay, well that isn't ALL completely truthful I guess...WE all pretty much knew it was gonna be great when we saw the letters: BUSKING STEPHEN STILLS BY NESH... & You never manage to disappoint? How do you manage to do that?
This was AWESOME, VERY FUN & EXPERTLY PLAYED VANESSA.(Nothing new, there.) But YOU make it fun.
To be honest, I have never understood the lyrics to this song. Maybe you/someone can explain 'em to me. I guess I am a little slow. LOL!
TANGENT ALERT: Most of the time pop culture...(i.e. song lyrics, novels, comics, film etc. etc.) Seems to say: follow your dreams, go for the gusto, climb that mountain, storm that beach, go find that girl you love...but NO, here is Stephen Stills saying: simply settle. Huh? :huh: I think he is right up to a point... we should be grateful and happy with what we have but we're talkin' about the big "L' here dude! ...okay, there I'm better!
Anyways, this is a classic example of a tune I'm not all that crazy about...and then I hear you do it & I like it MUCH better than the original! That has happened several times!! It is always a pleasure to watch your videos!!
I loved your...DOO DEW do DO...do do dew do's at the end. (another moment that gave me a big >

) & Also, Your playing was excellent as always....
I loved your story! Your former teacher sounds quite amusing. That really is a funny story! I enjoyed that too. :laugh: Thanks for sharing... I could almost picture school-age Vanessa writing on your paper that and your good-natured, wisenheimer teacher responding...great stuff!
