Didn't have a video so added pictures from my Himalayan Travels with this song I wrote few days ago. Thanks for listening.
Words:
Is she a dream or a story?
Is she a star in the sky?
No, shes a maid(en), he told me
So, said the old man with a smile
Pray wont you say, wont you tell me
Tale of the Maiden of the night
Yes, shes a song, shes a memory
So, sang the old man with a sigh
Scarred as the moon, all alone like the tree
When the birds have all gone away
Still there she waits in the valley
With hope and a tear in her eyes
Call her a dream or a story
Shes in my heart, on my mind
O Maid of the night, of the valley
Say its been worth every mile
And so, said the old man with a smile.

I wanted to try this Classical Guitar that I got from someone this week and decided to record this song by Jim Reeves. Recorded in early 60s, this song was a chart buster on UK charts right when Jim Reeves died in an Airplane Crash in 1964.
My humble tribute to one of the greatest Crooners. It was pretty hard to do justice to Jim's Baritone Voice.

Just trying out my webcam.Recorded a folk song from the 50s by Tom Paxton. This is Chad Mitchell Trio's version. A super hit on college campuses across US in 60s.
Sound quality is so-so. Guitar is tuned in the flat key.

Shot on our way to Khajjiar, a paradise in Himalayas. Clouds were right with us at about 6500 ft. Breathtaking drive on extremely narrow roads. Ignore our chatter.
