    A sort of homecoming - my humble cover

    Gong xi fa cai, everyone. I know, most of you don't even realize, that CNY was quite early this year. It's nevertheless the biggest family celebration in the whole world.
    Anyway, for me, that meant, that I had two extra days off, so I played some guitar. (what else?)
    Here is my take on an alltime classic. easy to play, hard to sing.
    To make the video a bit more entertaining than to watch me play two chords over and over, I put the test-shots from my helmet-camera in there as well. Taken last spring in my home country, Austria. (to have at least a bit of connex to the song title )

    Very nice cover of one of my favorite song (love the entire album)
    It looks like the woods in Alsace. Mountain bike is great !!!!

    Austria is really a nice country. I go there skiing almost every year. (Serfaus /Tyrol).

    Oh wow joe.

    I have been mtb-ing in austria too. Up the alp, and down very very fast.. Parts Over 70km/h on the speedo meter. Thats damn fast on a mtb. The regular "vee sperre" make it hard to time the braking .. Also the cows and waters, very recognizable. Good stuff!

    lol, digging out the old stuff. but this song will always be awesome.
    yeah, mtb'ing is one of my big passions. one of the main reasons, why i moved back to austria. funny enough, now, 4 years later, i live on exact that mountain, which you can see in that video. constantly working on improving my mtb skills.
