Thank you very much. Well, I'm doing all songs from a new CD called "Magic Wind."

And this next song was the last song that I wrote for the album. It's called "She Liked The Wind." And after I wrote this, I noticed that I had four or five other songs that referenced the wind and referenced the same woman. And that's how this album came together.

I'm going to switch guitars now and pick up the Resonator. Somebody called it a "tin can" just a little while ago.

audience chuckles

But as a beautiful, old instrument, National Steel, it actually is made out of steel. 1934, this guitar was made.

And there's a couple songs on the album that have an old time feel and this is one of them.

This guitar I call "The Beast." It's 1959 Gibson. I bought it from an old fella in Colorado. Said he played dirty, cowboy songs on it.

everyone chuckles

And he did all this damage so I can just imagine what those songs are like.
