Thanks for taking a look and listen. I really do appreciate it--Tim.

Thank you. Van is someone very intimidating for me to cover. I appreciate the comment--Tim.

I am glad you liked it. Thank you for the comment--Tim.

Thank you for checking it out, Ray. Yes, Van Morrison tunes are challenging, and I am not much of a singer. But I really love this song, so I gave it a try. These recording are a document for my son, so it's mainly me playing stuff that I would sit around play at home. Best wishes--Tim.

Thank you, Glenn. You are just the best of us, my friend--Tim.

It sure does. I really appreciate the kind words. Thank you so much--Tim.

Thanks so much, Vladek. I haven't played in public in well over a decade, and I don't know any musicians any more. I am basically somebody who plays on the couch, lol. Best wishes--Tim.

Thanks, my friend. This is a song that got me into playing guitar and trying to sing. Dylan has always been a massive inspiration for me. He really is such a profound lyricist, probably my favorite. Nobody writes songs like this any more; you are right about that--Tim.

Thank you, my friend. This is one I play quite a bit. I hope all is well--Tim.

@@timtsh Yes, things are going along okay. I hope all is well for you, too, Tim. - Glenn

Yes, sir. We are doing okay. Jack just got an early birthday present, one of those Boss Katana MKIII 100 watt amps. That thing is amazing!

@@timtsh Oh, cool! Good for Jack. Nice amp! - Glenn

Thank you, my friend, for checking out my videos and being so kind and supportive. I was actually about to delete it when I received your comment, so I kept it.

Thank you for the incredibly kind words. It is a song that means quite a lot to me, and I tried to serve it as best I could--Tim.

I hope you are still playing?

@@timtsh Absolutely. Keep thinking of uploading one of my simple covers here but haven't gotten around to it.😅 Also audio is no good when I record. Yours sounds great. Been loving your GDead covers lately.

Sarah, that is great to hear. You should upload something if you are comfortable doing it. I used my Android phone for quite awhile until I invested in a decent condenser mic (Audio Technica AT2020, around $130). You can buy a Blue Yeti condenser mic for around $100. I probably wouldn't spend money on anything cheaper than that because it's simply not worth it. Thank you again for checking out any of my videos. I only make these for fun and to leave a musical record of myself for my teenage son. I am an old Deadhead, so playing those songs is pretty easy. I am working with my son on a couple Dead tunes that we will hopefully be posting soon. Best wishes--Tim

Glenn, thank you so much for the RUclips love, lol. You are the best, my friend!

Thank you so much for the very warm words--Tim.

Thanks again, my friend, for checking out the music and being so supportive. It means a lot--Tim.

Thank you, Vladek. I have been working on this one a bit.

Thank you, my friend!

Thank you, my friend. That Yamaha is a monster. I can't believe how good it is. Tim

Thanks for the kindness--Tim.

Thank you once again, Vladek, for the warm words. That is such a great song and has a solid message, I think--Tim.

He's right there with me musically every single day, my friend. Thank you for taking a listen and adding a cool comment. Good vibes, man--Tim.

Very nice song you are amazing I love your songs and voice you were bless with a amazing voice keep it going I could listen to all day long RIP JERRY...have a great night. Be safe Be bless ❤❤🎉🎉😂😂🎉❤❤❤❤, 🙏🙏 l

Well, God bless you, too, Miss Pamela. I really appreciate the kindness you have shown to my picking and singing. I am am old DeadHead and a huge Jerry Garcia fan obviously. I am quite glad to hear from you and wish you and yours the very best, and thank you once again--Tim.

Thank you kindly, Vladek. I am happy that it turned out okay.

Thanks so much--Tim.

Thank you for the comment. I missed this one somehow--Tim.

Thank you, Vladek. I doubt RT ever looks at RUclips. I appreciate your kind words and encouragement. Best wishes--Tim.

Tim, in the world of probabilities there's a high probability of Richard coming acrsoss your video. I think 😊 Music is math and math is music. Cheers!

Vladek, I do not promote myself at all. I simply upload my videos to RUclips, and that is that. If RT does happen to come across any of my videos, it would truly surprise me. But, again, you never know. I thought this one was okay--Tim.

Tim, your potential is enourmous. YT will never be on our side. Your talent is bright and obvious. Don't underestimate and humble yourslelf. You're the boss.

Thank you, my friend. I am humbled.

Thank you, my good friend. Can I vote for you for President?

I am a huge RT fan. I find his tunes very challenging for me to cover, but I have worked on this one for decades, lol. Thank you for the very kind words, my friend--Tim.

Thank you so much!

Hello, Vladek. Thank you for checking this out. Please like this one if you don't mind. I have some dislikes showing up for some reason. Anyway, this is a fantastic tune, and I have been meaning to record it for some time. I finally got around to it, hahaha. I appreciate the support and your ever kind words. Thank you so much--Tim.

Tim, my likes are always present and they're always sincere. Cheers!

Vladek, it's probably bots on RUclips, or that's what my son says. You have always been extremely encouraging, my friend. Thank you--Tim.

That is high praise indeed. Thank you, my friend--Tim.

Wish we could jam out in the real world -it gets boring playing alone! ps.I scored a gaming mic for 20 bucks last night and it's so much better (and easier) than fussing with my interface!

We could do something online, or I could record a vocal and rhythm track and send it to you to add whatever you want. Where there's an internet, there's a way, I think. I saw your new videos with the Alvarez. The guitar and mic sound great, man!

I think I have GarageBand. I wonder if that would be enough to add some licks? I def had fun just playing the A sus as you were doing your lead, as well. Hey, a little side note, someone tipped me a 20 pound note today! It's really high tech looking money, I kind of want to frame it!

I am pretty decent with Band Lab. I could record a separate vocal and guitar track and email them to you. You can email me at timtsh@gmail.com. I have no idea what you might want to try. I know tons of songs. A 20 pound note is sweet. Nice tip indeed.

Glenn, it's always a pleasure to hear from you. I hope everything is well out there on the left coast. Thank you for the encouragement. I believe this is an outstanding story song that many people who love storytelling and folk tunes might have missed because it's The Grateful Dead--Tim.

Oh, man, I appreciate the encouragement, and that's pretty funny stuff. Thank you, as always--Tim.

Vladek, thank you as always for the kind comment. My favorite keys to play in are G and D, as they allow me to use open strings fairly liberally--Tim.

I appreciate the kindness. Best wishes--Tim.

Thank you, my friend.

Vladek, it's great to hear from you. I hope all is well with you and yours. I am a huge Grateful Dead fan and specifically Jerry Garcia. I followed him around for 7 years and saw him play around 120 times. I would highly recommend any Jerry Garcia Band and all the work he did with David Grisman, as well as the Grateful Dead from 1965-1995. You definitely want to listen to live Grateful Dead; their studio work was inconsistent at best. You have Dick's Picks and Dave's Picks to go through--that's all really good music and performances. Thank you for the very kind words on my little video. I appreciate the support greatly, as always--Tim.

Thanks so much for the reply!

Hello, my friend. Thank you for checking out the video and your very kind words. I wish you well from Raleigh, North Carolina--Tim.

Vladek, thank you for the feedback. I take your comment as both literal and symbolic, and that is very cool--Tim.

The Great River of Life (symbolic) and the Great River of Mississipi (literal) ... We only had some early June marine layer drizzling sideways this morning, but that's all we get here for now 😊 My daughter thinks I'm less cool than what I used to be 10 years ago. And that's to put it very mildly. Thinking about upgrading my strings on the old Washburn ...

That's a good point about the great river metaphor. It's a brilliant song on a few levels, and it's a simple D-A7-G thing. My son is 15, and he thought I was much cooler when he was little, lol. So don't feel bad, my friend. I really like D'Addario XTs and XSs and Elixers. They sound good and last a very long time--Tim.

Tim, I'm going to try those flex cores by Martin. I have no trouble with my fingers holding the strings, but the shoulder always sends me greetings especially when it's cold.

Oh, dude, this is just an old folk song that I have been doing for 20+ years. It's a fun tune and something I could easily see Garcia having a bunch of fun with. But thank you for the comment and your very kind words. I haven't seen you post much lately. I hope all is going well.

@@timtsh your recording set up sounds so good, you really could make an album!

Well, I would need more mics and a digital interface for sure, but I recently upgraded to a very decent condenser mic and a pretty good webcam, which is a massive upgrade over my middle-of-the-road Android phone. I figured I should at least put out something that at least sort of sounded like it actually sounds in the room. Thank you again for the encouragement and engagement, my friend.

@@timtsh that mic sounds great! Does it have a built in interface? Or is that not necessary? I'm clueless in the ways of home recording!

That is an Audio Technica AT2020USB, and it is a USB mic that links straight into a desktop or laptop. Most mics are XLR connected, and that does require an interface. This mic was specifically designed for people who are content creators, and it's great for podcasting, recording music, etc. I paid about $130 for it. I am not a tech guy either, but my teenage son is a whiz and has educated my silly butt, lol.

Thanks a lot. We try to have a good time with this one. My son is a bit obsessed with the song, lol--Tim.

Hey, thank you so much for the encouraging words. Jack and I appreciate it greatly--Tim.

Vladek, thank you for the encouragement and support. It means a lot to me and my son--Tim.

Glenn, I thought it ended up sounding pretty good. We did some checks on the sound before we went for recording the whole tune. I was glad Jack got a bass solo to pretty much end the song. I am really, really proud of him. Thanks as always--Tim.

Thank you for the kind words--Tim.

Not me, man. I am strictly a couch player. I should take him to some open mics because he is so talented, but that's about the limit for me, lol.

Open mics would be great... there's nothing that gets you practicing like the fear of public humiliation!

Man, Jack works really hard. I am super proud of him. And you are right about embarrassing yourself in public. You also have to get past stage fright.

Joe, I appreciate that. I was inspired by seeing you and your son together--Tim.

Thank you. We try to have fun playing. I am glad you enjoyed it--Tim.

Thank you, Glenn. Jack is a very good player, and he has only been at it for a couple years. Pretty amazing--Tim.

Thank you, Vladek. I had been wanting to record us jamming for a while--Tim.

Tim, this is very good energy.

Thanks, my friend. It was a lot of fun!

Thank you very much. I hope you have a great holiday as well and many blessings!
