Hey all.....here's Townes Van Zandt's ode to the homeless, "Marie". Probably more like the Steve Earle cover than the original, but it's Townes' song nonetheless.

Hey Jeff,

The tune tells a story and I like that. I thought you did a cracking job of picking out the individual notes and it was played and sung with real feeling. Really enjoyed it, good job mate.

Very nicely played and sung. Nice sound quality. Was that reverb on your voice? BTW I'm especially impressed with your hybrid picking! Great job.

Loved it. Everything about it.

Interesting and tricky hybrid picking.

I'd never heard the song before- and I was gripped.

Great job.

Hi Jeff,

Wow, what a spectacular performance! You were all over this doing everything to perfection.
I’m very impressed with the hybrid picking, excellent vocals and real feeling you put into this.
You should be very proud of your effort … I know I would be.

Thanks so much for sharing this moving song with us.
