there are several versions of little wing on YC

- Johnny Robbo, 2016: I like this acoustic version
- Speed Damon 2010 I like the way to sing it
- Malta, 2009, good guitar parts, I like the little counter-singing on the metalophone?
- Blooby,2010 great acoustic part, great voice, my favorite version
- Bobskanzhab, 2009 (only one publication on SC), not bad for someone who has been playing for 5 years....
- Blooby, winglish 2010 2nd version by Blooby electric instrument
- Hank 987 Unplugged festival 2010, good part guitar chorus, guitar stream a little too much forward, and singing too much backward

It seems that little wing is a Hit on SC (justified)

I wanted to make a version for three reasons

- Of course I love this Hendricks song.
- I changed the strings of my lap steel and so I wanted to play it
- my son-in-law Guillaume lent me his Uke Bass (KALA) and his magnificent EASTMAN mandolin and I thought I would use them for this song

It's a hybrid version with little-used instruments. mando, Uke bass fretless, lap steel Harley Benton and of course guitar

Have a good listening, friends.
attached is a picture of my two babies, and as you see, I play steel guitar with my feet

Florence isn't going to hit us here in Florida but its gonna reek havoc on the Carolinas. Hopefully it will weeken and everyone will stay safe.
Rock on!

[Blooby]

I really enjoy the airiness of this (is that a word?), and the slide sounds great. I really need to invest some time in that as I never got past the torture-of-cats part of playing slide. I am also fascinated by the U-bass. Hook has an electric one that he gets great results with as well.

Yes Blooby, this Uke Bass is excellent... it is electro acoustic and fretless, in this song I plugged it directly into the input of the sound card
