beautiful song- thank you for the introduction :)

The picking and vocals sound beautiful. I will check out the original

Gorgeous, wow. I'd never heard this before, I'm not sure I'll listen to the original but yours is stunning.

It's a great song and you sing it beautifully - nice work

I was introduced to this song by John McCutcheon in July 2021 and again in January 2022. Within an hour of hearing it a second time, I took a listen to Phil's version (linked above), and then set to learn a very basic picking cover. Here's my first attempt.
