@sleepingangelHi Maria, just a reach out to you from Australia. It must be very worrying for you, especially living in NY. Special thoughts and prayers to you and your family. Also to everyone else too. Keep Safe😊

@pkotof Hi phil, energetic healing? Sounds interesting. The sounds of the drums and didgeridoo really hit you viscerally. The primal sounds must resound to us from our ancestors who knew so much more than modern man about vibrations and sound that connects us spiritually.😊

Hi guys, I hope you and families are all safe and well. Here is a fingerstyle rendition of 'I Will Always Love You', written and recorded by the fabulous Dolly Parton and also sung by the wonderful Whitney Houston. This arrangement is from Hal Leonards '100 most Beautiful Songs for Fingerpicking Guitar'. Stay Safe😊 (may sound better through headphones).

@WATSON43 Fabulous! You really did a good job on this beautiful song. Thank you for sharing. Keep Safe😊

@pkotof Hi Phil, thank you so much for your kind words, I look forward to hear your recordings warts and all. Many people, myself included, don't feel that that their playing or knowledge is "good enough" to join in with the monthly recording challenges or the open mike or even contributing to the forum . After being a 'lurker' for many years I finally plucked up the courage to become a contributing member of the forum and put my playing out there 'warts and all'. Luckily, everyone is very encouraging on this site. Also I have realised that everything is relative, for example, now and again I visit a music store to noodle around on different guitars. One day I was just strumming a few chords and playing a couple of bars of a song in the guitar room, nothing fancy. There was another guy there who was buying a guitar, and the sales assistant asked him, after giving him the guitar which was still in the box, if he would like to try it. The guy glanced at me and shook his head and I overheard the lady who was with him say quietly, that he was too embarrassed! Obviously he must have been just beginning his guitar journey and my couple of simple chords must have sounded if I knew what I was doing! You also play the African Drums and Aboriginal Didgeridoo as well! You must have a great sense of rhythm and fantastic circular breathing. How did you come to learn such unusual instruments, do you have any connection to Africa or Australia? Stay Safe😊
