No hype, just the sound of a fine guitar ! ... 😉🤗😊
Unrelated Bonus: ........... IMO the best version to date !

I sold my '55 D18 last fall. Bought it in '62 but fingers got so bad in the last few years I just can't play anymore.
Fantastic performance of "Can't Find My Way Home." One of my favorite songs. Steve Winwood, musical genius.
Here is another version with Mark Knopfler on guitar. This singer is not Stevie Winwood, but he is pretty good.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57Bm2xvuzCA
Dang, CBX! A '55 D-18? That had to hurt to let that one go! Beautiful guitar.
Even his good buddy Eric Clapton, often looks at Winwood's guitar work in awe !
Guitar, Mandolin, Organ, Piano and Vocals - Truly a Genius.
It was NeoBlackdog but I have arthritis in my fingers, nether of my sons are interested in playing, and just decided that there was nor reason anymore to just let it sit here. I sold it cheap to a dealer in NYC and that's OK. I paid $225.00 for it here at a well known music store in Indy back in '62. That sounds funny but I paid $5200.00 for my new '69 Corvette. I'm glad that inflation is no longer a problem anymore. LGB. 😉
$225.00 in '62
= $2,113.78 today ! ... 😉😆
Well I more than doubled the inflation (even to a dealer for resale) but I still hated to see it go.
No doubt !
They are too fine an instrument to lay fallow though.
