@celticheartbeat: I was definitely singing along to Fast Car as Im sure most viewers of this set would be, a classic song, nice playing I enjoyed it very much. Across the lines, I haven't heard before, it certainly seems like an appropriate song to sing living in such a racially charged country as South Africa. Again with Talkin about a revolution you got me singing, this is one I have always wanted to try a cover of but never got around to it, maybe some week when the open mic theme suits it I will give it a try. I'd say it was my favorite of this set but you sing and play all 3 of these tunes well. Have you recorded "Baby can I hold you tonight before"? I seem to remember hearing you play that. Thats one of my favorite Chapman tunes and another one I should cover soon.
@ronymaffi: Guao hermano !!!! Hermosa canción. Me trae muchos recuerdos. Referente a ti, quiero felicitarte nuevamente porque eres un excelente músico. Felicidades, saludos y un abrazo.
@wwwiebe: Y'know, Fast Car moves me every time. Tracy Chapman knows how to hit home. That song came out in my younger years, and was one of the first songs that actually made me listen really listen to lyrics. Very moving.
@ablaze: That's pretty cool that you guys have a Human rights day public holiday. Great choice to go with Tracy Chapman to celebrate that day, nice one man. Fast Car is such an all time classic and I really enjoyed your version man. "Across the Lines" is very resonant with me as a South African, because 29 years after the end of Apartheid, we are still a very racially segregated society in many parts of the Country, and there seems to be a building resergence in racism and resentment brewing, which worries me and many others who would love to do our part to encourage unity in this beautiful Country, and help it grow more prosperous. I can see how this one would resonate with you alright. She had her finger seriously on the pulse with that album and it's sad to see the issues that she raised are still prevalent.
