Rene everything you do is simply utterly enjoyable and inspiring. This is one more. I learn from just watching and listening.

That’s another great America tune, and I absolutely love your cover. I hadn’t heard the back story on the song before, but it definitely fits, and it’s quite nice to have that little bit of info as an intro to the song. I’d be shushing my friends if we were out listening to you for an afternoon or an evening in a coffeehouse. Well I wouldn’t have to actually, we’d all be listening and enjoying 
All I can say is I loved that! Thank you for giving it to us Rene

“Ohio” is a protest song and counterculture anthem written and composed by Neil Young in reaction to the Kent State shootings of May 4, 1970, and performed by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. It was released as a single, backed with Stephen Stills’s "Find the Cost of Freedom”. Young wrote the lyrics to “Ohio” after seeing the photos of the incident in Life Magazine.
To all our social justice fighters.
May you have the strength, the stamina, and the charity to understand and love others, even in the midst of chaos and evil!!!
Love, peace, and joy to all peoples!!!
Feedback is much appreciated. Thank you.

Another stunner Rene, I really love your energy not to mention your playing and singing. You can’t go wrong with some Neil Young.
Amen to that

Another classy performance, Rene, lots of feeling, loots to learn from watching and listening to both your playing and singing.
On that note, how do you set up to record? In this performance I noticed your head moving around quite a lot and didn’t pick up that it caused any undesirable fluctuation in the vocal levels.
Is the guitar also via mic? I notice your guitar-vocal balance is always spot on (IMHO, my taste for such).
That is now 3 AVOYPs in Feb. According to the current guidelines, we need to consolidate those into a single Topic. I don’t have time right now to do that (@Richard_close2u I will get to it or you can if you have time … at least I noticed)

That was fabulous Rene, both the guitar and your vocals. And gotta mention the backdrop. You either own a music store or thats the kids inheritance

There’s a purity in all aspects of your performance, Rene-
The strumming with picked bass notes, the clarity in your voice, the emotion in the repetitive “4 dead in Ohio”.
Superb 
i only came across this song recently in a documentary I watched after the death of Crosby.
(It’s the second community song in a week referring to tin soldiers 
)
Your space always reminds me of the two opening lines in this clip 
Rock on, Dude!

Sung and played with passion and feeling Rene. Terrific.
You either own, work in or have access to a music store. No one can own so many guitars. Can they?

@ReneAsologuitar Another outstanding performance. 50 years of playing are paying off! I like your emotional playing and singing, a lot to learn from folks like you! What kind of gear do you use for recording? It’s a wonderful balance between voice and guitar. And your voice sounds so full.

That was a wonderful performance of Ohio Rene, your experience, and love for the subject, really shows. You gave me that Woodstock Vibe.
You make it look easy, am pretty much convinced that it isn’t. CSN&Y sang and played as a foursome, doing harmonies. For you to recreate the feeling, one voice, one guitar, is quite something.
Hello Rene,
Pleasure to meet you. I listened to all of these and loved every one of them. I also enjoyed reading your intro’s about the original artists and the songs. You are an awesome singer and guitarist. I went back and read some of your personal story through an earlier feed. Interesting; and happy to have you join in this incredible community.
2 great songs there Rene. I thought you did a wonderful job of them both.
I’m listening to Ohio and I enjoyed it a lot…what to say? The overall performance is just great!!
Thanks @DavidP for the notice on AVOYP multiple posts.
I really do appreciate your wonderful comments, and the “consistent audio sound recording” feedback!
I am not plugged in and I am using 2 microphones, (hidden on purpose), and the 2 mics are also picking up both vocals and unplugged guitar.
Love the great words!!!
Respectfully,
Rene
Hi @CateB ,

Love your comments, and I simply love hanging out in this musical space, collected musical instruments and gear through the years.
Warm regards!
