Little Martha..
This tune was written by Duane Allman.
With all due respect to his skill,I've always liked Leo's version better.
He uses the most wonderful harmonics.A cute little trick of laying the finger across the fret,that produces a sound I can only describe as ear candy.
If memory serves,this was filmed during Leo's "Home and Away" concert at Wolftrap theatre in Canada.

oops..
JP- Just a little something I whipped up in 3 days,7hours,and 24 minutes.
citymouse- Tasty as bisquits and gravy on a Sunday morning!
lorraine- I have some small skill in that area.
I always ask myself,"What would Leo do?"
I have never heard of this guy....what a talent.
*Warning to everyone that knows how I admire this guy,I'm about to go off*..
Rosemary- Leo Kottke is an absolute guitar virtuoso.
He's mastered Bach,Andres Segovia,Chet Atkins,Doc Watson,and developed a personal style that makes every other guitarist go,"DAMM!".."How'd he do that?..
oh, that was really nice!
And you totally seem like a guitar player.
(It's Friday already?!)
Lordy I love that mans music!
You know how people supposedly see their whole life flash before their eyes when they are about to die? Leo Kottke will be the soundtrack playing behind that event when it happens for me.
Just sayin.
beauty! leo be the man.
have you seen the sweet and lowdown?
more cowbell- It was nice wasn't it.I can just see Little Martha(whoever she is)toddlin' right along. :)
Hat- I know exactly what you're sayin'!..He's scheduled to appear for me as well.
the rube- I knew you'd like that buddy!..I haven't seen the sweet and lowdown,but it's about time I went online,and tried to track down some of his concerts.
Wowzer! That sounds perfectly awesome!
Where's the words?
Downside of living with a musician and guitar player and having too many other guitar playing friends. Yah yah yah. Love the fingers. Where's the WORDS?
And I know I got the grammar wrong, but it just spits out better.
serena joy- Short and sweet...
..and that's kinda wierd,because it's a simple little tune,that requires a fair amount of technical brilliance to execute.
booda baby- Now you've done it..
I have to tell you yet another story.
When I was in first grade,during music class,Mrs. Wolfert would have us sing all those,"Down by the station".."B.I.N.G.O.".."99 bottles of beer"..whatever,type songs..and at the end of the class,she would play classical music for us,sans vocals,and ask us to tell a story about what we had heard.
There was no right or wrong answer,just like there are no words to "Little Martha".
..and grammar counts for naught in Sling's Domain....Feel free to just spit it out. :)
..Speling however,is nindy precent of yer grayd..
So sweet. Makes me want to cry...be happy, melancholic, nostalgic all of these... so much appreciated Sling... I haven't figured out how to put this stuff on my blog yet (duh!) will try again and again so much good music out there.
