Wow! This is a kind of a musical illustration to some wonderful and kind fairytale - it seems I can observe a very beautiful landscape with little men, women and their childs dancing around what?... - oh, it doesn't matter a thing! )))

Thanks for sharing!

Yes, this is Hawaii! I wonder if you were drinking a little bit too much before you started to play on your slide guitar.... (LOL)
I imagine a beach, anyway, a lot of people and palm trees. And you, playing your guitar with the whole Clickers Club around you. An idea for this summer?
Nice job, Michael.

Great way to start my day. Fine playing on the new instrument Michael...sounds like you are fast becoming friends. Neat tuning and tones. Sometimes it seems to have a Mexican feel to me. Maui, Mexico...anything is a nice get away from this cold, grey, windy and snow covered landscape! Nice work on this one Michael.

Your rendition of this classic tune has a very warm and natural feel to it, even with the fx sweetening it sounds very ambient and woody (if that can be understood in a good way) very nice sounds you are producing with your lap steel. Always great to hear variety & diversity! Well done Michael

Throw another shrimp on the barbe and I be there with $Bill! What is so cool about this beautifully done track is the the range of music you're playing the lap steal on Maestro. I wouldn't have thought to do this. Very cool Michael!

Very nice Michael. Slide is a beautiful thing and you are taking it to another level with a Hawaian lapsteel? Have to do some googling on that. Sounds very good. And somebody give me a Mai-Tai

Very nice tune, that I understand is a classic Hawaiian? Sounds very much like what you imagine that Hawaii is all about. Nice slide playing, I never really tried to master this myself, but listening to you makes me want to try it. Great job, Michael!

One of my favorite tunes getting the Duran treatment. I crave palm trees and beer listening to this awesome rendition!

Can I come by so you can teach me how to play slide properly? Fantastic control! And harmonies that make the hair on my neck stand up. A superb rendition of a classic.

Cool rendition of this classic and you're finding some cool tunings and tones along with great playing! I haven't heard this in a long time and dig your version - nice one!
Love the sound of the slide guitar. Sounds very intimate the way it’s recorded. Awsome!!
