    Thanks Justin. PERFECT TIMING!!! My wife and I danced to this as our first song, on our wedding day. We celebrate our 20th anniversary this Thursday.

    YEAH... In the case of Justin, the playing IS the "vocals". So expressive!

    Well, do you ever think a guitar has a song to play, and it just sits and waits for someone like Justin to come along? The playing was awesome and this song is so perfectly matched to this guitar. Glad to see this guitar made it into capable hands that can show what it can do. I need to go apologize to my guitar now. I feel badly for it, it must be so frustrated with me

    *Swoon* Absolutely captured the tone and vibe of the incredibly talented, Etta James! Love the arrangement; it’s spot on. Thanks, JJ for making a rather bleak day, all around, into a beautiful moment where we can forget all the never ending drama!
    Perfect 🤩

    Saw the lovely Etta James perform her magic, on the same bill as Bobby Blue Bland and the mighty BB King, at the Mann Music Center in Philly back in the mid 90s...my God, that woman could SING like an angel! Sad to think that all those legends have passed on from the mortal coil, but hot damn, what a once in a lifetime show that was!

    At last
    by Etta James
    My love has come along
    My lonely days are over
    And life is like a song
    Oh, yeah, yeah, at last
    The skies above are blue
    My heart was wrapped up in clover
    The night I looked at you
    And I found a dream that I could speak to
    A dream that I can call my own
    I found a thrill to press my cheek to
    A thrill that I have never known
    Oh, yeah, yeah, and you smile, you smile
    Oh, and then the spell was cast
    And here we are in Heaven
    For you are mine at last

    Time and again I have watched Justin play....It looks easy. Doesn't it? When I pick up my own guitar, I understand just a little more of Mr. Johnson's genius.
    A hallmark of professionalism is when they make it look easy.

    I was looking for a tutorial on this song for the guitar. Of course Justin did a cover. I had to listen, it was beautiful.
    My guitar looked at me and laughed. So I just put my guitar back in its case for the day.
    Thanks Justin!!!
