This is a video we did over the weekend. A cover from the Gillian Welch album "The Harrow and the Harvest." I've listened to and enjoyed every song on the album for years now. It might be one of my all time favorite songs. It has always spoken to me. I put the lyric for this below. Enjoy and if you feel inclined to, post a comment. Thanks! https://youtu.be/Dh1Dpct3BmgDark Turn of Mind by Gillian Welch Take me and love me if you want me Don't ever treat me unkind 'Cause I had that trouble already And it left me with a dark turn of mind Now I see the bones in the river And I feel the wind through the pines And I hear the shadows a-calling To a girl with a dark turn of mind But oh ain't the nighttime so lovely to see? Don't all the nightbirds sing sweetly? You'll never know how happy I'll be When the sun's going down And leave me if I'm feeling too lonely Full as the fruit on the vine You know some girls are bright as the morning And some have a dark turn of mind You know some girls are bright as the morning And some girls are blessed with a dark turn of mind

I really enjoyed this, very nice version Thank you, Nigel. Don's guitar part is still a little busy to me but we are getting better at it. It's kind of our interpretation of the song. Some people prefer very faithful covers but I think it is better to "make them your own." Not by changing the song but interpreting it the way you feel it.

Wow, Wendy, this is so cool, getting to see and hear you. It very much sounds like a "Wendy" song. Are you doing this one in your live show? Good to know you're still out there, living the dream. All good things.

Ricki Hey Ricki, I apologize for not replying to this. We have added this to our live show. We are still kind of working it out. I love that you say it sounds like a "Wendy" song. Gillian Welch is one of my all time faves, so I appreciate that so much. Thank you for viewing/listening.
