When life gets crazy like it does, I come to this lovely song and everything starts feeling just a little brighter, just a little more hopeful. Thank you John Knowles.

[@rameneaterguy]

That was a beautiful comment that I just read, listening to this guy play makes me feel like everything is going to be alright.

[@tomhaag3144]

I never tire of this beautiful song. Thank you for your wonderful performance John

[@RWJ47]

The very best amplified classical guitar sound I've ever heard. Thank you for sharing this.

[@remiguel]

The music, the atmosphere, lines, depth, light, shade, temperature, expression...
My soul was silent and filled with peace ...
Rare moments when life makes sense.
Thank you for this masterpiece .

[@MrSlimfinger]

Wow. So sublime. John is truly a master of writing stunningly gorgeous arrangements. Not a single unnecessary note, everything just flows so beautifully..

[@DUGGER1947]

John knows a beautiful song when he hears it, and arranges it for the guitar in a manner that it has even more beauty. There's a reason John was one of the first to be awarded a "CGP" by Mister Guitar himself, Chet Atkins.
