Most lovely, Jon, and evocative of the season in a very sophisticated way. Also, I have dedicated a piece of music to you and a few other Soundcloud acoustic masters. It is here:https://soundcloud.com/jonathan_beckenstein/rain-delay  Thanks for the inspiration, and Merry Christmas to you.

Very beautiful piece.  I like the subtle nuances and reflections.

Very moving chilling reflective sound space

fandamntastic :) i cant quite identiy the very distant squelchy sounds but they add sooo much. amazing.

who are your influences?🙂 your technique is very good 🙂

Words escape me, where it’s always afternoon.
Fog on LA, Alice in psychedelic land...
One night in the desert 2000 years ago.
Cream gun, the devil in me.
Harmony in the sky, followed by a wooden indian.
Pet food & reverb…
Days gone by…

The snow fairy rain prep dance...
Zero recycling.

Ethereal.

This is dedicated to the inspiring acoustic guitar players:

I know I am forgetting folks equally inspiring, and I apologize! So many of you are so good. If I had the facility on the instrument that you acoustic magicians do, this performance would not have the slight stiffness that it does at times.

I should do more visual artworks but find myself playing the guitar instead .... basic influence and reason to buy a guitar many decades ago was english folk baroque style of Renbourn/Jansch. Actually met John Renbourn some years ago and he asked me why I didnt pick up my own folk tradition? ... yes why not... apart from that music is music.
