Looking at old holiday videos when my kids were little made me wistful. Here's my version of Joni Mitchell's classic tune "Urge for Going" played on my Gretsch resophonic.

That was lovely Andy.

I have to confess that, being a “man of a certain age”, dobro wasn’t the first “instrument” that came to mind when I read the song title!

I like it. I find myself playing in D tuning alot. I came to steel from bottleneck so its very natural and there's lots of licks and slants that work with D and G tunings.

Thanks for taking time to listen.

While Joni's original version is great I've always been partial to Tom Rush's cover: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vk9QFRvVQQ0
