    World is strange. 8 months after you uploaded this song, I got my first cat. Just a small little furball I rescued from the streets that grew so close to me. Fast forward eleven years. Exactly 8 days before this vid reached its 12th anniversary, I found her lying dead in the kitchen. On this day, this song was in my recommended videos and I dearly remembered everything from the first day, like a flashback. This cat was like a daughter to me and this song resembles her somehow. The love and peace she gave me, every moment she made precious. All is in this song and I come back to it from time to time.
    Thank you Thomas!

    Thomas,
    At 81 years old I have just discovered the instrument you are playing here. I love the sound of it, and you are the only guy I have heard play it that can bring out the best in it.
    You are on my favorite list forever and why don't you put out a couple of music videos. I'd be a buyer for sure.
    George

      @@thomlev5217 He was great, I especially love his first recording which I've listened to over 100 times (he brought me back to the Holy Bible). But he didn't play this type of guitar, although he played with others who did. Thomas Oliver and Jacob Raagaard are my two favorite Weissenborn players, although they both play regular guitar and lap slide etc. too. I actually know little about either, other than they are Maestro level musicians, and I LOVE their musical sharing of their inner heartfelt love.

    I think what makes this so honest is the way it's recorded -you can hear all the string noise - the bar on the strings during vibrato, etc. That stuff almost always gets nuked in production. Good job T. Oliver !
