I am truly awed.  Wonderful.

AGP, your very kind comments go to my friend George Jones on this song. He sang and played all the instruments, I just did the video. Your right, his voice is  reminiscent of Neil Young in the Buffalo Springfield days or maybe Poco. 

Thanks Wes!

Richard your vocals never cease to amaze me, last Vid I could hear Sonny Landreth, and on hearing this one, I can hear Neil Young, Who's Next ??, and is Sloe Gin what makes Slow Poke Rodriguez so Slow ???  :-D

Thanks for creating and posting this video Richard...you really have this audio track + video synchronization and creation process down pat. . . I'm sure that this video will work toward inspiring my grandchildren to come up with and record their own musical creations in the future . . .  

One minor correction to what Richard had stated below:  Although I've built many 4 string CBG's so far, actually a 4 string fretted CBG is still a bit too sophisticated for me to attempt to play something like this on, so I used the simple homemade 3 string Dog Bowl resonator (shown in the photo below) + an old $20.00 Rescue Mission resale shop Casio keyboard to two-finger the background cords and drum accompaniment into the song + my somewhat corrected Frog-noise vocals (I'm an engineer, not a singer/player) and a 14 year old version of Audacity software running on my windows PC to create this audio track, which Richard then masterfully (and quite quickly) sequenced and visualized into this video...

This collaborated audio+video creation works to affirm the potential of what can be achieved when people with like interests use their unique skills in working together to help each other achieve that which would not have been currently possible without the benefit of such interactive teamwork/collaboration with others . . .

Oh, by the way, George used a four string dog bowl resonator guitar, same as the one he helped me build.

Nation member, builder, and friend of mine has recorded this outstanding cover song from blues great Joe Bonamassa. It’s an honor to put visuals to this incredible song. Excellent playing and sing George, I believe this is he first recorded song, watch out for this guy!
