Good morning dear Geoff and thank you for the "beautiful and kind Sunday awakening".
the "old melodies" are timeless, discreet and never tire: the new ones are intrusively noisy and after a short time tend to......fade away.
Thanks again and have a good Sunday😊
Thanks for listening my friend. So pleased you enjoyed it.👍🤠
It's a nicel guitar performance with a clear, calm and pleasant sound quality.
Many thanks Abno!👍
I love these slow songs from my past.
I have made love, cried,laughed, and played these slow BREAD songs on my record player and fell asleep to them.
Thank you for the memories.🙏
So pleased you enjoyed it Frank.

This is wonderful Geoff. I remember 1971 like it was yesterday. What a great song to slow dance to. They were the best of times; they were the worst of times. Thank you so much for sharing this piece with us.
Have a blessed weekend. 🙏

Thank you for sharing your gift with me. Everything you play is beautifully done. The one that speaks to me the most and has so much anointing on it is the Last of the Mohicans. I think reading what was said added to the anointing. Thank you again❣️👏👏👏👏👏👏🥰

Hi Geoff. It's Liz. I was born in the good old days (1960) and I grew up with Bread (lead singer David Gates). He charmed me during my teenage years with his amazing romantic melodies. I actually fantasized back then that David was singing directly to me! 💓💓 Anyway your rendition of "IF" is just beautiful! Can you please play more of Breads great songs? 🎈🎈👏👏❣️❣️☀️☀️💐💐🎈🎈💥💥💐💐☀️☀️❣️❣️
Hi Liz
My "good old days" started in 1947, so It's hard to keep up with you youngsters! 😀
So pleased you enjoyed it my friend.👍
Youngsters! Lol. You're too funny Geoff! Some days I feel 63 but other days I might feel 63 plus a decade or two. Depends on how my friend Arthur is treating me. (I sometimes call my arthritis Arthur Itis! 🤪🤪🤣🤣🤩🤩☺️☺️😆😆🙃🙃🤣🤣🥰🥰
Bravo! 👏👏👏
Thanks Mick! 👍
Lovely as usual. Thank you Geoff.

Thank you Geoff that was so beautiful to listen to first thing in the morning. 🎸❤️
Glad you enjoyed it Cecile. Thanks.
This is truly a beautiful song--great lyrics--and a beautiful rendering of it. The word "clarity" stands first in my reaction to your playing. The notes were clear as a bell--and I'll always remember your "IF" this way. When this song came out, I listened to it as a wonderful 'love song'. "If some ever-the-top miraculous events could occur--then surely my somewhat more humble request will be granted."
(At this age, I view the word "if" as a decision I could--and should--have made along the course of my life. "If I had done this'--or chosen this--or taken another path...then my life would be different [perhaps better].") My oldster view breaks down into "CHOICES AND CONSEQUENCES".
Finally, I honestly choose the meaning of the word "if" ---that is presented in this song. It makes me believe in a real [sincere] way of expressing 'love'. I happily return to1971.
Thanks, Geoff, for this selection. Plus I can't think of anyone better to entertain us with it!! Love and Hugs, Von
Life is full of If's and but's dear Von and i imagine many people regret some of their life choices, but we only get one shot at it!
So pleased to hear your thoughts on it my friend.
Love and Hugs!
Geoff.
