Linger by The Cranberries - CBG Tribute

I was so shocked to see that Dolores O'Riordan, the lead singer of The Cranberries, passed away today at only 46. I've listened to her sing for countless hours on repeat. The Cranberries hit BIG while I was in high school, and I loved them! Last summer I put Linger on a list of songs I wanted to learn on cigar box guitar. In tribute to Dolores, today I learned it. This is a quick cell phone recording with no bells and whistles. I had to modify the intro and outro to make it work on CBG. I have no delusions about having a wonderful singing voice, but this is me with what I got goin' on today enjoying making music with a guitar I built. Thank you Dolores O'Riordan for sharing your music with the world! You brightened my days. I'm sad you are gone.

Comment by Korrigan on January 15, 2018 at 1:30pm: Bravo Janis, awesome rendition!

Comment by Janis Wilson Hughes on January 15, 2018 at 1:24pm: Darryl, thank you! I really appreciate your kind words. I'm very shy about singing. But I've sang along to this song 100's of times. I've always loved it.

Hi Milt! Thank you. This was open G tuning (low to high G, D, G, B) I was playing the D like a truncated version of a 6 string D, and I added in 3rd fret on the B string for the open G chord.
