Steemit Open Mic Week 47 "Lion" (cover)

One of my all time John Fahey favourites is Lion from the 1968 "Yellow Princess" album. I attempted this back in the early 70s and even as inadequate as it was back then (and still is TBH), it became one of my most requested pieces. My girlfriend (Sarah), back then encouraged my playing and as my wife of 44 years, she still does, God bless her. I suppose I have recorded this particular piece for posterity while I can still actually manage it. When I am no longer able to accomplish this particular feat, I might sit with Sarah and listen to it and recall those youthful days. We'll perhaps then listen to the original and remember just how very fine the late John Fahey was at his craft.

I hope you enjoy my attempt at it anyway.

Once again, I bow to @luzcypher for keeping everything right here and also to @pfunk for the continued financial support. Also a nod to the additional judges for doing what is probably pretty thankless at times. Well done to you all.
