Kirsty Anderson no need to compare :)

[@arronmoberly6449]

@@treymorris1829 Says in the description it's a Martin D1-R. I love any Martin though! They sound awesome.

[@macytoskeleton449]

Why am I just now finding this masterpiece??! 💕

[@gerardhaubert8210]

It’s been 5 years since you did this. I don’t follow popular music, but I really hope you’re a big star....you should be.

[@denisheahardcastle784]

Buddy, I don't know how you are earning your living but the fact that I love music and am just now finding you tells me something just ain't right. I have heard 60 covers of this song including by award-winning Country Music singers and "Got Talent" winners. No one does a better job than you on your porch with no backup singers or band.

[@jamesrice5550]

Timothy you young man are Awesome!

[@Dr.Music77]

Hello Timothy! I stumbled upon your video when looking up a Blake Shelton song, and I was very impressed with your talent. I'm your new fan! Continued Blessings!

[@johnnyballinger1558]

would eagles, seven bridges rd. be a possible candidate?? you truly are very dedicated, & while i know, how much practice, how much TIME , it truly takes to play & sing some of these timeless classics, you have that, rhythm, & delivery, that few have, & even fewer can develop over time. you really are very talented, you & a guitar is all you need, what a voice!!! WOW!!!

[@johnnybumpous6484]
