Taxi - Harry Chapin cover on 4 string Cohiba

I love this song by Harry Chapin, so had to try it on 4 string cigar box guitar to see if it works... so here ya go... thru a Microcube, guitar tuned DGBE, with a disc piezo.

Very nicely done Derek. Another man might have been angry...... I stashed the bill in my shirt. One of my all time favorite lines

Derek - excellent playing and singing!  Kudos to you!  (With all the feline comments, and other suggestions - - maybe Cat Scratch Fever?  LOL!)

Derek that was a great rendition of Taxi. Well done.. I am looking forward to the SEQUEL and of course Cats in the Cradle...  Hmm I wonder how they would sound on my Silvertone plugged in...

Thank you Rick! I am always impressed with your abilities on so many instruments. Much appreciated!

Thanks Andries, that made me smile! Harry used so many chords in his songs that they can be a challenge to remember. I enjoy your stuff so your encouragement means a lot! Have a great Sunday!

Thanks Eric! I will have to try Cats in the cradle... it should work.
