Hi John,

This is one of the songs that I wanted to see him play when he visited the NYS Fair three years ago. This and "Empty Chairs". I seem to recall that he played it capoed and the chords weren't the chords I thought from the record.

I have always felt that Don McLean's strength in his guitar playing was his deceptive simplicity. I am not saying that he is a simple guitarists, anuthing but. But he gives that feeling on first listen and then when you get into deciphering what was done you realize that he is intricate. As much so with the left hand as the right. James Taylor has that same ability.
