Thanks for sharing it. I’m 22 and I’m the same, I can only play it straight after practicing for like a week or two. This video means so much to me because I be producing my own songs, writing and composing just like you, but I’m simply not a ✨guitar player✨

I’m confused, This song is on the β€˜Gone Again’ album. Was that a bootleg?

Thanks for your post and your realness… beingness. I don’t know what it is but it’s affirming and comforting listening to you talk about yr creative life. Steps at a time. That’s what I’m doing. What’s easy for others more gifted can be a slog for some. I’ve been slogging but the sun is out. Last night was a cold crisp moon in Australia and the gumtrees reached for the stars. Life is good.

Thank you for sharing your precious learning moments with me. You’ve touched my heart and it is always hungry for meaningful, creative connections. My struggles today shall give thanks to you, Patti Smith; I look forward to meeting them because of these moments with you.

I love this song The Man In The Long Black Coat by Bob Dylan. I used to play this Oh Mercy record often in my French Quarter studio apartment in New Orleans when I lived there in the early nineties. Wow, this song definitely suits you, Patti. Have fun with this beautifully swampy song - β€œThere's smoke on the water it's been there since June, Tree trunks uprooted beneath the high crescent moon”*~~*

Dylan's songs are so good that anyone who can sing makes them better πŸ˜…. Thank you, Patti.

You go, Patti. Sign like no one's watching! Also, I think it's amazing.
