An old song, that just became better.....

You know, I love these old songs. But when someone takes one of these old (semi-tired) songs and makes it AMAZING again... and especially when the artist is dead.... makes me just swoon! Check this out, an old Gordon Lightfoot song!!

God Bless Eva Cassidy!! :encouragement::encouragement:

Always loved Eva....and this was one of my own "first songs" that I learned to play, waaaaay back when.

I love the song, Joe. But it's kinda folky and I'd just heard it so many times, I thought..... Jeeze, I don't even wanna hear that song again. But Eva made me eat my words. She did..... bless her heart. You know?

Eva did that to most of her songs and her voice always has the same effect on me.
Makes me warm with bitter sweetness, if you know what I mean.

Is that her playing the guitar too?

davismanLV · Aug 11, 2015

Yes, sir!! She many times played her Guild Songbird, but she played other guitars as well. Not sure which one this is.

Here she is with her Guild.

Gordon is still with us, thank heavens, but Eva is not. Gone far too young.

Every time I listen to her my heart aches and my soul turns inside/out. Let's just say I turn into a big sissy.

Peace
