This is a song by Leo Kottke that he recorded on his “6&12 String Guitar” landmark album released in 1969 under the Tacoma label. The album is as fresh today as when it was released. This album and this song were the main motivation for me to start playing the guitar. Here is the version that I am playing on my old dreadnought Ibanez acoustic guitar and recorded on an iPhone .
You can hear Leo Kottke’s masterful interpretation here.
The Ibanez guitar I am playing was bought in a small music store in Livorno, Italy in 1979. It can be still tuned and it keeps in tune remarkably well:
