i know it's long but if you have the time, listen to the lyrics. they are particularly great. this song sounds so much different acoustic, but i really like it. the original studio version is a personal favorite.

Neil Young live at the BBC in February 1971. Parts 1 through 4 are from top to bottom below. Classic.

I'm perfectly willing to take the flack that comes with posting my own acoustic stuff,...but if just one of you listens and likes it'll be worth it,...

Wow. No flak from me, I think you're really great!! You have an amazing voice, and so expressive. Thanks so much for sharing! ... in fact, mind if I convert to an mp3?
I've never heard those songs I don't think. Are they originals or covers?
Also, I agree that people should not be dicks.

I was gonna post a Michael Hedges singing Watchtower link, cause I actually saw that at a small theater at Stanford... then I saw this Gently Weeps link....

Hands down, modern acoustic guitar performances, Hedges is Top 10 no questions. Still sad that he's gone. I only got to see him live that once, but it ranks as one of my fav moments ever.

Thank you so much!

They're all my own songs so feel free to convert,...i'd be delighted if you did in fact.
I''m putting some half decent, properly recorded demos up on here:

You're welcome to download them if you like - even though some of them are still being tinkered with,...but just listening would be lovely!
