If You Want To Sing Out, Sing Out (Cat Stevens) - 4 string Cigar Box Mandolin cover

A song that always makes me smile. Apologies for the shaky playing - this is a very new tuning for me. 4 string Cigar Box Mandolin, Nylgut Ukelele strings tuned FCGD

...probably the least badass song you'll hear on CBN today :-)

Thanks, Richey.  Laura's art makes a good music backdrop.

Also - I was introduced to this song by the movie Harold and Maude. If you haven't seen it, you should.

Thanks for the comments folks!

John, Laura is the artist. This is our summer house which is both my workshop and Laura's studio. The pictures you can see are just some sketches from a life drawing class but she specialises in oils and watercolour. I can send you some pics if you're interested?

Another like from me.  A great song for CBN if you ask me!

Comment by Uncle John on June 25, 2014 at 12:45pm

Wonderful.   I like this better than Cat's version.  Just super on vocals and playing.   What a happy sound and great lyrics.  

Who is the artist?  I like the art work too.
