    My 37 year old son, deceased in July of 2021, was a Neil Young afficianado and played his music on guitar very nicely. Most unfortunately, now that he is gone I am learning Neil Young songs. This song, Harvest Moon in particular, makes me weep, especially those three opening chords and the harmonics ... such sweet music that reminds me of my boy.

      You are Brave - leaning into the Music as you are. Perhaps not now but if you continue to travel this Path as you are doing - you will find yourself at a Still Point - where these Songs no longer feel raw but bring you strength from the Connection of each other's Hearts. I wish you well our Guitar Friend - keep playing. Kindly, JBC NYC

    Hello Angela, you are playing the song that my eldest daughter slept with when she was a baby in 1993 (30 today), I am almost 66 years old, (I am also a guitarist) and listening to you I have beautiful memories of those times when my wife was still alive. She died, she left in 2009 something very sad. I lived through the 60s/70s and enjoyed the music of those times. I love hearing you sing and play. I have seen your band and you are really very beautiful and talented, I congratulate you. I am also a guitarist. Well I say goodbye I do not want to bother you anymore I just wanted you to know that I recently found you on UA-cam and I was captivated and you know what? I am writing to you from Buenos Aires Federal Capital; Argentina, the country where I was born. It was nice meeting you. I send you a big hug and a kiss and take good care of yourself. It was nice meeting you.

Playing someone elses song is easy to play,it's teaching that is the challenge, I taught class rooms for many years in Nashville, area. About 15 Students at a time. My favorite venues have been closed for along time. I'm 65 yrs.old. yeah and still going strong. I don't teach the class rooms anymore. My favorite area in teaching is Special Needs Children. I owned a School in Nashville, for many years. Now I do house calls.

Its an old barn-like structure with a nice big stage, excellent sound, and plenty of room to dance with soft lighting and a very intimate feel. I played there in 2012 with The Laguna Moon Band and have seen other local bands play there ( pre pandemic ). Also has a great restaurant at the back of the dance floor. Awesome video as always!

      Well, i gave it a thumbs up but i would suggest 1) always start by playing the song thru, with vocals, at least one verse with the chorus (because, if im going to take a lesson from YOU, i want to know if you can even play it, properly. 2) i think she got lost, or at least she lost me.
