My version of the Don McLean classic. This is based on an arrangement I found on You Tube posted by Tim Van Roy, who posts a lot of instructional videos. The first time through, the verses and chorus are pretty much how he taught them, except for some fills. I made quite few changes to suit myself on the rest of the song, including playing parts of the third and fourth verses with harmonics a la Chet. This performance has quite a few warts, but I'm sick to death of it, lol, so it is what it is.

Well done Mike, many hours of practice have paid off in a beautiful rendition of a great song. You really nailed those harmonics, super job.

There are many on this forum that wishes they had that "many warts" in their recordings. 

Cheers

Vincent, the single, was the first record I ever bought and it continues to have a place deep in my heart.

Mike, your rendition carries all the emotion of the original. Well done indeed!

I'll echo the comments made by others - truly fantastic.   I had the pleasure of seeing Don McLean in person a few years back and love this song.        It's on my list of songs to learn.
