I don't know this song but nicely played and sung. You voice suits Kristofferson songs. Perhaps you could do a version of "Me and Bobby McGee" or "Help Me Make it Through the Night". Mighty fine looking guitar you've got there too!

Hi Stuart,
I hadn't heard that song before either. That was great! Thanks for sharing!

Well played and sung Stuart. That makes three who hadn't heard this song before. Nice sunburst guitar! B) I've just bought a new guitar myself, picking it up at the end of the week, it's also a sunburst.

WOW that was fantastic, I loved it.

Casey's Last ride is (in my opinion) one of the best songs ever writen

The poison air he's breathin'
has the dirty smell of dyin'
cause it's never smelt the sunshine
and its never felt the rain

What great poetry from one of the best songwriters of our time

and he stumbles as he's leavin'
and he wonders if the reason
is the beer that's in his belly
or the tear that's in his eye

Just terrific song writing. This is, as I think you can tell, my most favorite songs of them all. And you certainly did it justice, well done!

I would love to get the tab with the picking pattern or, I suppose I could try and work it out from your video.

Also check out John Denver's rendition of the song, he does a pretty good job of it too

thank again I loved it.

Stuart, that was way better than Kris!! Really, really enjoyed it...you sing it, play it, and just tell the story really well! very, very good!
Kristofferson might not be the best singer, or actor for that matter...but he sure did write some of the best songs ever...you more than did this 'un justice!!

[tovo]

Stuart that was just super mate. I agree with others who have said how well that style of music suits your voice, and you played with effortless grace. Loved it. The Gibson is sounding beautiful.

Very nicely played and sung Stuart! Great job with just the right feel.
And nice bone-crusher* Gibson sound too!

*If you caught my last visit to Die Gitarre you'll get that one.

Not familiar with this song but I like KK. You sang and played well and the guitar sounds great, congrats on the aquisition. Love the sunburst design. Nice job.
