I think this is simply the best love song ever written – Joni Mitchell is a genius! This is a simple instrumental edition with a looper. I couldn’t possibly sing this song, so I’m attempting to “sing” it on the guitar.

Georgia On My Mind, written by Hoagy Carmichael with a more modern groove.
Here is a quick rendition of Herbie Hancock’s Cantaloupe Island on my nylon strung Godin ACS-SA Slim. The guitar is plugged into an Apogee One and recorded on Garage Band. There is no EQ or compression on the Godin track, the only effect is a touch of reverb. The backing track is from the amazing Jamey Aebersold.

I’m playing here with John Bennett Band. John is a fantastic trombonist and a composer, and it was a real privilege to be working with him for close to 20 years. First, My Funny Valentine a Rodgers and Hart tune, recorded at the BBC Maida Vale Studios in London at the beginning of 2011; Barbar on vocals. Next, Sand Song a John Bennett composition, recorded on the same session.
