Marcus, wow how refreshing this was to hear!    You can play better on one track than I can using 20!   Very well done and a rare experience for me to hear.  I learned to write tunes using an Ovation acoustic 12-string which I still have around, but can't play anymore due to a hand injury.  This was so totally fresh and well done.  I had never heard a slide like this and the (neat) noises associated, in a very beautifully-performed classic like this one - you created a very unique and beautiful version here.  Many thanks for sharing!!

Guitarhacker Thank you for listing and taking the time to comment.

Starise I guess what I was trying to say is this is just one recorded track and there is not a whole lot of mixing skills needed when you only have one track to sit in the mix. Thank you for the comment and thanks for listening.

Lynn I have the deepest respect for your engineering skills I am humbled by your comment my friend.

Daryl Thanks for commenting and thanks for listening. more is on the way

JPS wow all the way from Norway. Great to hear from someone halfway around the world. Thank you

JD I am really sorry to hear about your hand. The song was arranged using an open tuning. The guitar was tuned D,A,D,F#, A, D, basically a d chord. This allows me to rely on open strings and it makes the song sound harder to play than it really is. Thank you for your kind words. all the best to you my friend.

How very nice  --- just a guitar and real talent playing it!!
Beautiful job --- thanks for posting it.

This is just beautiful!  So much emotion and talent.  :)  

And don't apologize for one track...we don't have to have 20 in every piece. :)

But...this is for a movie?  Now that's cool! 

Freddy J Thanks for the kind words. And thank you for taking the time to check out the song.


Janet Thanks for listening. I recorded this for a movie being filmed on location right now. This makes the forth movie that my music has appeared in. From what I am told they wanted it for a funeral scene then a cutaway to something else Hmmmm.

I have about 21 hymn arrangements. The arrangement I originally had was a little busy for what they were looking for so I had to simplify it and cut some stuff out. This is not a major film. It is an independent filmmaker. These films wind up at film festivals like bare bones and sundance and they work their way across the country.

That's some pretty tasty stuff, Marcus.
You're quite right, low action and a slide makes for a challenge.
But you've captured a really earthy sound here, and I love your tone.
The second part feels really right for this time of year. Leaves crunching under my boots, and plaid flannel shirts.
Nicely done.

Marcus - you are a star my friend - just beautiful.

Yes, keep them coming.

Well, good for you getting your music in film.  I think all of us would enjoy this.  Congratulations!  :) 

Robert B always great to hear from a fellow slide player. Thank you for taking the time to hear the Tune

Clean I hope not. I would love to be wealthy but I would not want to be famous. I am going to start a very major recording project next week now that I am done testing X2. I will post more

Janet I went to your reverbnation site to check out some of your tunes. Love we three kings. your other stuff was good too. A lot of what you do is the kind of stuff filmmakers look for. I bet you can get your music in some of those films to.
