I needed to use my vocal cords


The fingerpicking is hell for arthritis ridden fingers  :(  :o



But it's such a beautiful song I had to give it a go



Hope I did it justice



Cheers

Beautiful cover Geir! I love the sound of the acoustic and your voice is so calming. I'm not super familiar with Tom Waits but I'm surprised at the range of songs he's done over the years, from crazy noise rock to tender, melodic ballads. Excellent job!

The guitar was worth your trouble it sounds great those arthritic fingers are holding up well love your vocal no hard edges to it beautiful

Damn I didn't realise this was a Tom Waits song. What a gem.

You did this beautifully Geir. Guitar playing is A1... lovely.

I can sympathise with the finger issues. I have them on the opposite hand... fretting hand.

So I am trying to up my game on finger picking to compensate :)

Lovely cover.

Sublime brother....lovely ...funny about that fingerpicking racket...it gets harder to do as you get older...it's good for your soul though

Alternate Tunings: CAUTION: your fingers have to be in different places

Interesting, this sounded familiar but I didn't realize it was a Tom Waits song either. A great choice to cover and so well done! A good clean job of live playing and singing.

These days I merely dabble at being old and wise.
But I swear, I used to absolutely excel at being young and stupid.
