Saw Jackson show in Edinburgh 2017. How many guitars does that man have?
A privilege to be there.
Hope your sojourn or stay in Scotland is happy, healthy and productive.

I am finally learning Jame Taylor’s “Sarah Maria” as it is on the record . I always played it on the beat . It is so much better off the beat
Thank you for doing the covers so exactly ! Wish you had Bruce Cockburn, David Wilcox and more Harry Chaplin and America .
