If I could give this a 'thumbs up' every time I watched it there'd be at least another 20 'likes'. Beautiful words and such incredibly expressive and powerful playing, the timing and phrasing is, to me, hypnotically intoxicating and it was the first song he ever wrote! If it was the last song I ever wrote it would have been worth however many years I'd practiced to get there. Thanks for posting

Glad to see Garnet playing these older tunes the way he wrote them....so often the criticism is that he alters the chords and melody. This sounds like the early 90's again !!!!

We are blessed with such talent and warmth. Thank you, Garnet!

[@K1P2]

This is the first song he ever wrote? Simply stunning and amazing.

We only come across a few really good men in our lifetimes. Garnet is one.

Why was this beautiful song removed from All That Is? It was such a haunting version…

[@dsimms561]

Shadows 'neath these branches grow, The sun’s embers die away. The hush of night falls o’er these hills At the turning of the day. Twas on nights like this we’d gather here, Brief crowded hours to fill In kinship and good harmony, In my dreams, I can see us still

[@maidenrulz73]

Incredible....I've met him a few times...signed my guitar for me....( he didn't want to..said it would de -value the guitar).....brilliant musician

[@eliadespastor4305]

Lucky you! Another legend off your list!

[@maidenrulz73]

+Eliades Pastor his nephew Nathan signed it under his 2 years later....I treasure that guitar like none other.

What a superb song, so very well composed! Do you know when this song was written?

[@JordanSchevene]

Does garnet ever play in the US? I would like if he would come play in Paonia Colorado.

[@paulhbrown]

Saw him in Kensington, MD a few years back. So, yes.

[@GoodHopeIsland]

I don't know when he wrote this, but he told the audience it was the first song he ever wrote. It appears on his CD "Small Victories" released in 1990.

He's a POET

[@garywhitt98]

His J45 rings just like he hopes it will.

Sadness that this is his farewell tour but no sadness in hearing his heart sing through his voice in the same room . Peter behind my Judy
