John,
I've come to expect a lot from your uploads, and you never disappoint. Beautiful playing and solid singing on this one. And welcome to the Taylor family.
I could be wrong, but that looks like a Shure SM58 mic you're using, which would explain why you're right on top of it. You could benefit from a wind screen or a pop filter on it.

Thanks Dennis,
That is exactly the mic I am using. It kind of surprised me how close I had to be to it. I knew next to nothing about microphones when I got it. I certainly could use some kind of a filter or screen for it.
Thanks for the advice,
John

I might need to add this to my 'sappy 70's list' that I love so much! Great job!
On a side note, I think you'd be a great guy to jam with. You've got a good songlist, great energy and your love of playing is infectious.
Thanks for sharing.

That's a great mic, and it's used in recording studios and in live venues all over the world because it rejects ambient noise so well. You'll get used to the distance you need to be from it. I'd back off about two inches because you're coming in a little hot.dennisg wrote:John,

Just now had the chaznce to watch you perform this oldie, but a goodie. I really liked it! In my mind, it is the best upload I have watched from you. You are really doing a nice job with the performance aspect of your videos. I always appreciate your enthusiasm on your videos as welll. Keep them coming John....

Hi John,
Seems it's always so sunny outside when you do your videos ... weather is absolute zilch here.
And you chose to play "Summer Breeze" on top of that ... just can't help but rub it in, can you ?
Next time, find a cold, damp, windy place to perform ...
uh, er, sorry ... getting a little grumpy here ...
Swell performance ! Glad that you join in the forum with such enthusiasm

Al - Thanks, I think I have a similar list. :laugh:
Bart - Much appreciated, thanks for watching.
Pierre - Thank You. I wouldn't have too much weather envy though. Here in Phoenix, a summer breeze is like a hair dryer to the face.
Catman- Thanks. I haven't heard the phrase 'Donkey's Year' before, but I like it.

John,
I always look forward to hitting the little arrow and watching your songs.
You just exude joy when you sing and play and I, too, love the songs you choose.
I loved this song when it was first issued and was happy to hear your cover.
I want to learn this one - and I think Neil said he might do a lesson on it...or has he already?
Thanks for posting this - I loved it!
