Beautiful! Mr. Morgen was a great musician and guitarist.
What a brilliant arrangement
Thank you Frank. Coming from you with your background and circle of guitar friends that's quite a compliment.
All the best, Howard

Howard
big time flavor going on here. very skilled, thank you for posting!
AWESOME! great musicianship & great guitar!!! bravo!
An astoundingly beautiful performance (as usual) Mr.Howard! I shall be visiting Colony records (in Times Square) to pick up some of your publications.By the way-your guitar is (amazing) I'm wondering if I saw this guitar at Mandolin Brothers on Staten Island.they carry a unique collection there. ENJOYED!!!!!
I m learning this song, thank you( i m form italy)
Howard,
I like it that you recorded without an amp. That Eastman projects quite well.
I have a custom guitar Tom Ribbecke made for me. It too has a great acoustic tone.
I uploaded my "attempt" to play Johnny Smith's arrangement of "Golden Earrings" I recorded that without an amp. (As did he I believe.)
Keep posting Howard. You "class up" the joint!

Howard,
This is a great arrangement. Very nice performance. That Eastman has a beautiful timbre. (I know it's the mechanic and not the tools.) If that's not an Eastman "Howard Morgan" model it should be!
Bravo Maestro!
Cheers,

@guitaThanks Michael, Coming from you that comment means thw world to me! Gest regards Howardrlive2864
Thanks. Ther's no one like Gershwin. The arrangement is from my book The Gershwin Collection for Solo Guitar, Alfred Publication.
Howard
Allen, Thanks for those insightful words but the Eastman really does help. I also use Tomastik-infeld set of 14 round wound strings. That helps too. Sorry for the delay in answering your kind words, I've been swamped with deadlines.
Best regards,
Howard
Thanks for your comment. I know you'll love your Eastman. Those guitars in the background belong to my excellent videographer, Davis Stillson and he's happy you noticed them. He assures me they are not at all lonely and are played often. Best regards, Howard
Wonderful!
This is wonderful to see you play this. Will you ever upload a video of your arrangement 'Bess, You Is My Woman Now'? One of my favourites of yours, would love to see it.
Wow,,,,,it's necessarily so that you can just kick (pick) hell outa that tune! I love it!!
I always loved that tune - outstanding arrangement and playing!
Martin
there's no one like him!!!!
doc frank forte
awesome - got the arr and slowly slowly slowly getting it under my fingers XD
great arrangement, well done sir!!
Skilled, but without any swing or feeling.
And your video is where ? I’m keen to see you play. Thanks
I was pretty sure somebody would write something like that ! To comfort you in your opinion that a criticism is not allowed, I did not make any video, as you of course know. I bought his arrangements and find them good. I just find the way he plays them dull and not exciting. Jo Pass could really give you the feeling of swing, and Roland Dyens could express a true emotion. I hear neither of them in Morgen's playing, even if he of course was a good guitarist.
