Sunday Morning – Vincent

It’s a beautiful morning this Sunday, as we’re enjoying a long weekend in the United States with Labor Day giving us Monday off.  This morning is starting with watching the Italian Grand Prix at Monza for breakfast, and then doing a bit of yard work before tomorrow’s expected rainfall; as Hermine makes her way up the Atlantic coast and depsites a bit of leftovers in New England.

After all that, I will focus on spending some quality time on guitar practice and working on a new song to learn.  Today, I have selected Don McLean’s wonderful song, Vincent, which should give me plenty of challenges.

This song should be a lot of fun to learn with the help of Justin Sandercoe, whose Justinguitar videos are a boon to learning guitar.  I will be using his video on learning Vincent for this effort:

Have a wonderful day!

      Thank you, Debbie! I just hope he doesn’t suffer as much as the Vincent in this song.

    Lovely song. I just returned from Arles, France, where Vincent van Gogh lived for a couple of years, including the time when he cut off his ear. There was an exhibit of 32 of his paintings at the Van Gogh Foundation.

      Thank you; I’d love to visit Arles one of these years, as the region is just beautiful. The Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam provides a stunning array of his work, which left a lasting impression on me. It’s just amazing how he was overlooked during his lifetime.

        I need to get to Amsterdam and visit the museum.

        It’s a great museum and well worth the trip. On top of that, there are a couple of other decent museums too…
