Ripple - written by Jerry Garcia and Robert Hunter

"Ripple"... I've tried so many times to work this up since it came out on American Beauty back in 1970, but could never get thru the damn thing without tearing up. Finally, after 50 years, here's my dry-eyed take on this Garcia/Hunter gem. For the occasion I broke out the lap steel from its 3 1/2 year hiatus and tried to remember how to play it. This video is for my cool cousin John in NM who for some reason likes my steel playing, and for my friend Jana who gifted me the instrument many years ago for no reason other than that she's one awesome lady!

I think I’ll always be young. What age would you be if you didn’t know how old you were?

Lovely, a great rendition of a wonderful song. I shall be playing along (badly, probably) on harmonica & ruining it. Sorry.

[@chrisyeseta1522]

Thanks so much! I'd love to hear your harmonica playing on it!

[@alanmclellan9950]

After much rehearsal it might sound reasonably OK, not even close yet but I'll keep harping. 😊

[@texassasquatch5734]

[@chrisyeseta1522]

Sorry if my steel playing is not up to your standards. I guess I'll have to practice more.
