This brings back sweet memories! Years ago on a cold Winters night my wife and i were in Portsmouth and got tickets to see Ed playing guitar in the old Unitarian church. Snow was falling lightly, the place was packed with wonderful like minded individuals. You could hear a pin drop. Ed with his humble and cheerful attitude spoke a little between numbers of which this particular one brought tears to many eyes. If Angels are real they witnessed this wonderful music floating through the old church. At the time, i had just lost my job and we were concerned about our children and Christmas time can be very hard on the soul. After this concert, we both decided things would work out ok. And they did. Thanks, Ed. MT

Man Ed, you define the ultimate translation of Ry’s masterful work as played on the Weissonborn Style. Your sensitivity to the use of dynamic’s as the central theme is uncanny. It took me listening to your performance for “peg head nation” about twenty billion times to finally let the whole work, in all it’s transcendent beauty, soak completely through to my soul. Thank you for sharing your masterful performance with us. Your smile at the end is killer. JimR

If you are in the right mood this version is the best you will ever hear. Tired, depressed, anxious, upset, this will sooth and calm you like a mothers touch, like nothing else can. If you are excited, electrified, happy, wanna dance, this might bore you to pieces. Ed plays this like you are sitting on the side of a beautiful waterfall in the jungle and just want the best compliment to the sounds of nature. Are you in that mood?

What are the small fret type things under your lowest tuned string? What are their function? Looks like the 2 nearest the nut are flush to the fretboard & the rest are higher. Can you push some down for other tunings or something? Thanks in advance for your answer.

How ‘bout one or two of the eighteen of y’all that shot a negative please comment as to why you did so. I’m curious, and I really would love to know why you feel the way you do. You have all the right in the world to dislike anything you choose. No question. Lot of things I don’t like myself. But there is music, this vid being one of them, that is so.....right, that I don’t get how, even if it’s not your type, you can give a negative rather than simply shining it on. Respond, please.

Is there any amp involved here at all? It sounds like reverb is being added, but it could just be the guitar's natuaral resonance. Beautiful performance.
