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.

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”*~~*
