I heard this for the first time 16 years ago when I was in the sixth grade. This song was one of my very first influences and part of the reason I play the style of guitar that I do to this day. Grateful for the art this man has shared with us all..

I can vividly remember about 12 years ago maybe when I started playing guitar my dad found out Don Ross was playing at our local theatre (small town seats maybe 200). We had never heard of him so we went and holy shit I was blown away. Not only is the guys playing truly one of a kind but as I remember he’s fucking hilarious. He was telling stories in between songs (because he tunes differently for every one) and the entire audience was in tears.

Im 30, i grew up listening to everything blues, bluegrass, gospel, country, R&B, pop, hip hop, electronic, rock, and of course the heaviest of metal.. Although I've seen my share of finger picking, its been nothing quite like this. Myself and my friends thought modern prog rock/metal guitarist started this style&rhythm on acoustics within the last ten years.. we were wrong. 😅 I will say, there are a handful of newer guitarist on here that deserve a listen if you enjoy this..

Payed and downloaded the songs off this album and love every second of it. Listened many times hitchhiking, introduced many people to him too. Got to see him live finally in 2015 and had him sign my dads old guitar, what and amazing show between him and Jon Gomm. Unforgettable!!!

I just heard Don Ross for the first time a few minutes ago at the CSAmaker YT channel who was using a Don Ross song for his video about making a Dremel Pantograph! Thankfully he listed the background music credits because many do not do that which is very unfortunate for both the listener & the artist

I think that this tune is one of the best fingerstyle guitar standards. I hope you agree with me. Because melody is great, bass movements are awesome and some of the harmonics stuff. I don't like using percussion in tunes, but here uses slap harmonics some times and it takes little percussion effect. Thank you, dear Don. You are true musical monstr. You are one of my best fingerstyle guitar inspiration. And reeeeeallly big thanks to Michael Hedges for new generation of solo acoustic guitar musicians, as YOU, Don.
