Can someone tell me why it is so exceptionally difficult to get people to listen to Rodriguez? Very good cover!

[@descendingstaircase]

Thank you so much for the compliment! I'm sure those who do hear Rodriguez are instantly in awe!

beauty and feeling and experience still exist, but are gems that must be uncovered and discovered. the world does not need to be a vulgar, depraved & perverse cesspool. Protect innocence, beauty and goodness.

[@descendingstaircase]

That was beautiful.. Thank you!

[@steveb6718]

@dingstaircase pleasure brother - if I had to choose songs for you to consider to cover, I would look at Fast Car - Tracey Chapman, In Living Memory - Alter Bridge, Hurt - Cash/Reznor, One - U2 but for songs just to listen to, if you haven't heard them, for any fellow muso You and Me - Aron Wright Nuvole Bianche - Einaudi Sing Sing - The Bones of Jr Jones see you around

[@descendingstaircase]
