I didn't know this song or story JP (thanks for the info link) but this sounds so good! Your dobro and acoustic sliding and picking are both excellently played!

Very, very nice my friend!   What are your current rules about going outside for fresh air, exercise - are there any specific restrictions?  In most of California infections are actually pretty low right now and vaccination progress good and we are told we will probably open everything 100% in mid June!

I never knew the back story of this song even though I've heard it many times. Great guitar playing, JP - that slide sounds beautiful.
