Heart of Gold. Humble cover of a great Neil Young song.

Because I play at harp and guitar, people tell me I should do some Neil Young. I have resisted trying because I don't think anyone sounds nearly as good as Neil on his iconic classics...<br /> <br /> But I got this 6 string for Christmas and I have been working almost every day to improve my six string play and to learn some classic songs that I love. This video shows me at nearly the best level I hope to achieve on this this song.<br /> <br /> I am not taking a six to Cally-Fest. But if there are enough folks signed up to have a six string open mic- I hope to borrow a six and try this one.
