I got this one from Ry Cooder's "Chicken Skin Music." I've had the record for about 35 years, but only recently discovered how great it is.
I just wanted to get this down live, so there isn't much to the video.
I think this song is incredibly beautiful. And it's so sad that it's almost funny. By the fourth verse you're just hoping nothing else will go wrong for the poor guy.
It's a long piece, with a lovely Hawaiian style slack-key solo in the middle (drop D tuning). I find it hypnotic.
One guitar, one voice, one great song - happiness :O)
