I like this a lot, Ged. I was really disappointed that I couldn't get a decent note out of davewhite's Red Kite that he sent around a coupke of years back. Can't help thinking I didn't give it enough time - and this only makes me think I should've tried harder or, at least persevered.

That's downright beautiful.
Sadly, albums by the Woodstock Mountains Revue, the very fine folk and country supergroup that did the original version of that song, aren't available now. John Prine did a version, though it's a bit too bouncy for me. Time to crank up the record deck and get out the vinyl again.
EDIT: It's on Youtube, though the sound is a bit 'bottled.'
Great lyrics, as it goes:
Leaves were falling just like embers In colors red and gold, they set us on fire Burning just like a moonbeam in our eyes
Somebody said they saw me swinging the world by the tail Bouncing over a white cloud killing the blues
I am guilty of something I hope you never do because there is nothing Sadder than losing yourself in love
Somebody said they saw me swinging the world by the tail Bouncing over a white cloud killing the blues
Somebody said they saw me swinging the world by the tail Bouncing over a white cloud killing the blues
Now you ask me just to leave you To go out on my own and get what I need to You want me to find what I've already had

Although there are many versions of this great song I think that this may be the definitive one

Oh I always love the sound of a Weissenborn (not sure of the spelling!) and this is no exception. Lovely playing.

Beautiful rendition, it's a deeply moving song and your playing captures that wonderfully.
