Here is a rendition of Treetop Flyer by Stephen Stills. This is a very upbeat and fun song that really gives your fingers and thumb a workout. Stills wrote this song in remembrance of all the pilots from Vietnam that came home and could not find work, so they took to smuggling contraband across the border by flying low so as to escape the radar. Let me know what you think and what could move it along, Bud

Hi Buddy,
It sounds real good to me. The only suggestion is maybe a bit slower. The version I have is about 7 minutes.

Thanks for sharing
Bob

Howdy Bob, So always good to hear from you and I appreciate the feedback on this tune. I was working off the original studio version that runs about 4:30. I shortened the lead break a little so I think the timing is pretty close. In the live version he has a very long intro and outro.

Thanks Bud
