Instant smiles & memories, with just enough of your character bleeding through. And now I want another guitar, but I could never handle that slidewith the smooth confidence you do.

A super fine track that I immediately put the needle back to the start of, and respun a couple of times. A joyous sound.

Wow!! This is great Michael! The Lap Steel sounds wonderful.
This one makes me smile. This is a really nice version of the classic Satriani tune. :) Its 03:20PM over here and bedtime..so this song is just perfect.
Fantastic work my friend!

I remember this tune coming out of that one speaker over the back seat from the AM radio while in the back seat of my parents car many years ago...What memories this conjures up...!
Your lap steel sounds really warm and melodic and is a real nice addition for you. Glad i caught this one! Sounds great!

What can I say that hasn't already been said Michael. An awesome version. You know I never knew the title of this iconic song, but I remember hearing (and loving) the slide guitar sounds on the record. You have captured the embodiment perfectly. Your talent is endless…Bravo.
Congrats on your new lap steel guitar...

Excellent version - love that sound you've got on the guitar, works perfectly with this song. A reminder of days gone by when life always seemed a lot simpler and less hectic.

Memory Lane...you took me there. Great version of a timeless classic. The new lap steel sounds excellent and will no doubt inspire you to new sonic adventures. It's so dreamlike in this song. Nice one!

A very nice version Michael. This is indeed a classic. I recorded a version of this some time ago but have never attempted a 'slide guitar' version. Mine was in the 'Twangy' style of The Shadows/Duane Eddie. You're getting some great sounds here. I like it.

Oh yes..... you were right Michael, the remebrances coming back in my mind now......Ha!!! ;) Santo&Johnny, what a sound!!
My Capitan, you did it once again, turning the time back with your great music ability and flawless musicality: one is asking himself if this is really only a cover or the two artists are perfoming once again..... Fantastic soundscape, the lap steel guitar is to die for ( supreme skills on it ), the arrangement superb, with your fine own touch and interpretation of course.....Man, you did me such a great pleasure today with this song!!! THANK YOU CAPITAN!!!! ;)

A beautiful version of a classic. The Asher sounds great Michael. Great job and well executed on the lap top! Do you palm the strings behind the slide or use a finger? Is the slide steel or glass?

Wow, that sounds great on this tune and nails the melody and then some. Sounds like you're gonna get a lot of use with your lap steel. Great version!
Wow, this is certainly the most beautiful version of this excellent song, that I have ever heard Beautiful work, Michael Sleep walking is good for the soul, especially when someone is an expert at playing possum ;-)
