Comment by Derek Rose on April 19, 2018 at 1:36pm: Nice playing and cool guitar.

Comment by Richard Sundberg on April 19, 2018 at 1:52am: Funniest title I’ve seen in a while Steve! Considering thin hotel walls, I’ve played guitar in many a Motel 6, you did a fine job. Nice tone and very nice playing.

Comment by Danny Gordon on April 18, 2018 at 6:35pm: VERY GOOD JOB STEVE

Comment by Gary W aka Rev. Bluejeans on April 18, 2018 at 5:30pm: Nicely done, Steve!

Comment by Steve Holladay on April 18, 2018 at 2:15am: Thanks! Was on the road last night at a hotel kind of late. I was afraid my neighbors wouldn't be happy if I put too much behind it...

Comment by Uncle John on April 18, 2018 at 1:58am: Great looking geetar. Hey, nice tone and playing! Good singing, man. Just put a little bit more air behind your voice. God job!

Comment by Paul Craig on April 17, 2018 at 8:18pm: Nice Hotel California cover.
