The Celtic Session No. 2 - Fanny Power - Steve Baughman

[@WayfaringDay]

Gorgeous piece on a gorgeous guitar played a soulful musical genius. I imagine those gates will open for you.

[@katherineclifford9367]

Really lovely and moving. I am sitting in my ancestral home near Dingle at the moment, feeling very Irish

[@davestagner]

Fanny Power is the first song I ever arranged on guitar! Your arrangement is much better than mine. 😊

Don't know much about Saint Peter's taste, but you can come to my place anytime!

The best I've ever seen! You are a deeply spiritual person and a genius rolled into one.

Good God, Steve, you know how this makes me cry, every single time. Thank you for it, again. Jenn Martin

Thank you. It is a very touching song. I tear up playing it some times, after all these years. I hope our paths cross again.

How are you doing? Rough times down there on the central coast? Are you playing? I hope someday I will be able to play this piece for you live again. Keep in touch.

@@friendlybanjoatheist5464 Hey there! Doing fine, all things considered. It's killing me to not be conducting. Playing A LOT at home, basics, basics, basics that I should have done years ago. Now I have time. I've played a couple of outdoor gigs recently at wineries, but they have now shut that down as well. I was going to invite you down for our October show, but....sigh. See you soon, I hope. By the way, this is what I wrote on Facebook tonight with this video: "One of my favorite guitarists is a gentleman called Steve Baughman. About 4 years ago, I invited him to join us on the annual Cuesta College Acoustic Guitar Concert as our special guest. I'm careful about who I invite as our out of town guest, because the local folks that I invite to play and I have built a very nice, non-competitive vibe. I hadn't met Steve or heard him live until he arrived for the concert, but Dorian highly recommended him, so I went for it. As always, during the round-robin concert, I sat next to our guest. I instantly fell in love with Steve the player and Steve the person. At one point, he played this. It was the first time that I cried listening to guitar music. Just stunning. The next summer at the Healdsburg Guitar Festival, Steve was playing a show. He saw me in the audience and played this, dedicating it to me. Yep; cried again."

@@jennifermartin8628 You are not bringing tears to my eyes. Thank you for loving my favorite guitar arrangement. I am glad you are playing a lot. Me as well.

[@didier0072]

Quelle beauté ! Quelle sérénité! J'adore la chanson, l'arrangement et le guitariste, un de mes tout préférés. Sauf si Saint Pierre est sourd vous irez du bon coté!

[@friendlybanjoatheist5464]

Merci!

[@WadeTyner]

the soundboard of your guitar tells some stories too. I love seeing guitars with that kind of wear on them. Your playing is beautiful - thanks for putting these videos together.

[@friendlybanjoatheist5464]

Ah, yes, every time I see an old photo of that guitar I am reminded of how much I have used (trashed?) it. Too many wild party jams with a flatpick.

[@PaulRocheGuitar]

Beautiful.
