He doesn't seem to bother with youtube much these days, but he's worth following on facebook.

CAUTION: Thread drift.
This tune reminds me of a memorable headline that, sadly, I didn't write and just as sadly, I can't recall which newspaper ran it. At any rate, it was the late 1970s, "Animal House" was a movie smash and at UW-Madison a frat threw a toga party. Dozens of attendees were photographed boogeying in their makeshift togas and above the photo was this hed:

Well, I can do a walking bass like that. Provided I don’t have to do any of the rest of that stuff…..

Well played!!!
From Google: "Cheek to Cheek" is a song written by Irving Berlin in 1934–35, specifically for the star of his new musical, Fred Astaire. The movie was Top Hat, co-starring Ginger Rogers. In the movie, Astaire sings the song to Rogers as they dance.

Well done! I like the sound of those older Taylor Nylons with the small Fishman trap door preamp especially after the strings mellow a bit. That looks like a maple one - NS64CE.

It appears to have a slightly narrower neck than a classical. That would suit me fine. 1 7/8" at the nut and - I think 2 1/4" at the saddle. I'm sure you know but they are much easier to play than a steel string due to the lower tension. I have an older used Taylor one in mahog x cedar and really like it. I can't say it blows me away just as an acoustic as it's slightly quiet and overbuilt sounding unplugged. But once plugged in to something decent with just a little bit of volume to create that surround sound feeling it's enjoyable.
