25 or 30 years ago my late wife and I attended MerleFest, in western North Carolina. We were sitting at the main stage one afternoon when a new act was introduced. It consisted of a guitarist, someone playing the keyboards, and a bassist. I had never heard of the guitarist, but after that one set - the only time I've ever seen him live, unfortunately - I was a fan. I've been a fan ever since, and Kelly's Mountain is still my favorite.
I've always loved collaborations between classical and non-classical musicians, and this is one of the most seamless ones I've seen! I admit this is an odd comparison, but the virtuosity and storytelling on display here put me in mind of Billy Joel breaking into Rootbeer Rag!
Well done ~ had my Nancy & I tapping along and thinking of home. I've been on Kelly's mountain and a fine place it is - thank you JP & all the other fine performers
Bern a GL fan since 1972. Love this song. One of Gords best melancholy songs. Bought a black Takamine guitar from J P quite some time ago. Was sent to me from Canada to Denmark. Lovely guitar ❤️
Besides JP's stellar playing, how about his voice ? Man. he sings real good. And this song is such a beautiful tragedy. I love the way he starts with the chorus, and as he sings the verses, more and more meaning comes as he repeats the chorus and the last time is a heartbreaker.
JP I found you on a recent Acoustic Shoppe NAMM video. Wholly impresed with your picking. Then I hear you song! Wow! But the clincher- picking like that wearing a 2 lb watch!!!!
Jp that is one to be proud of. I mostly watch you talk about guitars. This is the first time I have seen you perform. When you talk about boucher I will picture you playing this one and know that you know what you are talking about!
This song chokes me to my core with emotion. I've cried to it as I try to sing along for YEARS now.
Great performance by all. JP’s playing is as slick as it ever was.
JP is the best, most under rated guitar player that I know of.
He is awesome!!!
