Yup. That was pretty incredible. And no guitar strap!! Thanks for posting this!
Amazing. He plays with every fiber of his being. Mesmerizing.
Just so you know, on July 10th you can see Sam James performing on a moving train at the Maine Narrow Gauge Railroad Co. Tickets are available at Bull Moose and here: http://eternalotterrecords.blogspot.com/2010/06/train-show-tickets-now-on-sale.html
He’s rad and all, no doubt, but that may as well be another song. There is no likeness, what-so-ever of the real thing. Still super good, just saying
It is the same chord progression and lyrics. That should count for some kind of likeness.
