“Presence” not Message, but no matter, Traffic did some great stuff but this ain’t it.

Instead, have a listen to Steve Winwood solo acoustic guitar, out in his barn:

Thanks for straightening that out. I'm a big Clapton fan. I was thinking 'I don't remember that song.'

Thank you very much for sharing those links.

A few years back on a roadtrip a friend played a “newer” album of Steve’s and I was just taken aback how solid his voice is after all these years. Can’t Find My Way Home is easily in my top 3 of all songs that I listen to when I feel lonely, depressed and need a spiritual push... it’s a very emotionally heavy song for me, and to see and hear Steve play that as a 66 year-old man, and how when he is done he just sort of pauses and looks at the camera in silence and smiles... essencially validating our taking the time to listen... it’s magical.

You know... Jack Bruce left us just a few months back (Whoda thunk Ginger Baker wouldn’t have been first)... it makes you really wonder how much time we all have left.

I recall seeing this posted to FR before at some point in the past couple years (I guess)... but things being what they are with "surfing" YouTube videos in stream of conciousness fashion at 2:30am... it brought me back to it, and it is just too good not to share once again
