I think "Russell's Park Bench" would be a GREAT name for your act.  I'll have to wait until I get on another computer to check out the video.

Great video Russ

You can see all my video covers on [url]http://www.youtube.com/bensonp1000[/url]
I have finally found happiness in my life.  Guitars, singing, beer and camping.  And they all intertwine wonderfully.

Thanks for sharing. Maybe the next album could be an acoustic cover compilation called "From the Bench"?. Well done as always

Re: AFTER THE GOLD RUSH FROM MY PARK BENCH SERIES

Nice.  That's always been one of my favorite songs.  I tried it a while ago and couldn't get it to where I wanted it.  Figured I need some more skills.  I'm working on getting my left hand to do something more than hold down a chord and I'll get there one day.  I liked your version.  This is a link I'll save and come back to as a "lesson." 

Switching gears, I really do love that hat.  It looks like something you could have won in a poker game.

Thanks geo an acoustic album is food for thought I must admit its been a while since I did covers but I just invested several hundred into some new gear to play as a one man show so im gleaning all the cover songs from Chordie that fit my vocal range and style maybe "park bench concerto" of some fancy name lol

Glad you enjoyed it and you could use a capo and find a comfy range to sing in, the hat was given to me by a friend who I jam with last  year it comes in handy when the sun is out and it looks cool with the silver braid I love it smile
