I thought some of you might be interested in seeing this video I put together the other day ... or days. It took me a while to get five tracks without drop-ins.

This is the magnificent composition Icarus by Ralph Towner, a melody that does everything it should and then more. I've always wanted to do a slide version, but this time I filmed the backing guitars too. I played my Palm acoustic, Gibson nylon, Fender Strat and I threw a very simple bass line in on Schecter bass .... I'm not really a bass player.

I hope you find it uplifting, whatever kind of music you're into.

Wow! you really are Kirk Lorange. I saw you play live 30 years ago - I can't remember where - maybe up the Cross with Richard Clapton? or maybe as a support act for one of the US Blues names? Three Weeds, maybe?

Nice playing but in all honesty, I found the 5-way spit screen a bit distracting.

I wanna make videos like that. I only recently figured out how to do a picture in picture type thing. I have no idea how to split screen 5 vids. I bet there is no free software to do it...

Great video by the way.
