Ive always loved Stevie Ray, and Jimi, and Santana, and Dire Straits, Pink Floyd, all the guitar cats, butvwhen i 1st heard Chet Atkins, with Mark Knopfler ironically, it was like an old uncle comin along and sayin, "ok son, now im gonna show you the guitar in a whole new perspective" love this gentleman with all my musical being. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Michael Johnson sounds like an angel to me . . . So genuine, gentle, pure, authentic, touching . . . This song, like his others, are lyrical masterpieces. Guitar playing gorgeous. He is a treasure. Huge contributions to the music world. Half of the moon is in my heart and half is in yours. Let's gel! Heard today this Covid thing is half over. I revised that to 60 percent. 😘🌛🌜
This features one of my favorite Hugh Prestwood's songs: "Half The Moon." Michael was, by far, the greatest champion of Hugh's songs....he seems to come up w/ the most incredible voice/guitarist arrangements imaginable for his songs...just unreal...This songs appears on the OOP 1991 Atlantic CD "Michael Johnson" which is one of my favorite CD's of all time. Thank you for posting this excellent show! A ++++!
Perfect timing on this upload since I just started learning "Half The Moon" and this video gives me additional views of how Michael plays this great song.
Cheryl Wheeler sings Northern Girl at 15:40 Words And Music By Cheryl Wheeler cherylwheeler.com/ Why are the rain clouds comin', pourin' down on me? Why can't the north wind turn and blow the other way? Where has the sunshine gone? Oh I can barely see, This northern rain is fallin', and home is callin' me. Sun in a southern sky is all I need to see. Watchin' a small bird fly, above the fields and me Walkin' a dusty road and there's nothin' 'round the bend Except those golden tones of goin' home again. Goin' home - goin' home Muddy old river flowin' 'neath a fallen tree, Sunflower garden growin' twice as tall as me Sister and father hear me, what I've learned today I ain't no northern girl, I've been too long away. Goin' home - goin' home On a starry old summer evenin' Hummin' warm and sweet I hit the road believin' I was bound to leave It took a new england sky to teach me how to say I ain't no northern girl, I've been too long away I ain't no northern girl, I've been too long away This ain't no northern song - I've been too long away. 3/30/80 (P) May 27, 2003 Penrod And Higgins Music / Amachrist Music ACF Music Group International Copyright Reserved
If it weren't for RUclips, precious gems like these would be all but invisible to most people.
I had never heard of Cheryl Wheeler until tonight. She has an amazing voice!!!
For thirty years she has been my favorite writer performer and she is very funny D well. Almost is my favorite of so many favorites. A rare lady
I just found her on a Dan Seals Video singing Addicted, which she wrote. What a voice!!!!
I love love love Cheryl Wheeler. I can not wait til she comes back to Florida to play!!
Incredible songwriter, singer and player.
I have discovered so many artists during the pandemic that I had never heard of before . Both Michael and Cheryl are jewels that I have found.
Beautiful
How many artists can sound this good out of the studio? Not many, especially today.

Wow! I've been a Cheryl Wheeler fan for nearly as long as an MJ fan and I never knew that they had performed together. Fantastic!
Chet atkins - oh , my papa ...magical voice of the guitar 🎸 ❤💙
Except he wasn’t the voice.
I love them both ❤️

Company Man is one of my all time MJ faves. It's one that I absolutely love to sing, what a great song.
My fav MJ song! This is a wonderful version!

Why are the rain clouds comin', pourin' down on me?
Why can't the north wind turn and blow the other way?
Where has the sunshine gone? Oh I can barely see,
This northern rain is fallin', and home is callin' me.
Sun in a southern sky is all I need to see.
Watchin' a small bird fly, above the fields and me
Walkin' a dusty road and there's nothin' 'round the bend
Except those golden tones of goin' home again.
Goin' home - goin' home
Muddy old river flowin' 'neath a fallen tree,
Sunflower garden growin' twice as tall as me
Sister and father hear me, what I've learned today
I ain't no northern girl, I've been too long away.
Goin' home - goin' home
On a starry old summer evenin'
Hummin' warm and sweet
I hit the road believin' I was bound to leave
It took a new england sky to teach me how to say
I ain't no northern girl, I've been too long away
I ain't no northern girl, I've been too long away
This ain't no northern song - I've been too long away.
