My buddy Joe is dying of cancer. He and I have made a lot of music together over the years and today he asked me to perform Victor Wooten's "Amazing Graze" at his funeral. I can play it, I've known it for years. I don't know if I can play it at my buddies funeral.

Anyway, I think this fits nicely into the covers thread.

That's pretty rough, sorry you have to go through that. That is a beautiful cover, and it does sound like it would be a good tribute to play to someone.

Wow. I can imagine how difficult that would be yet how glad you will be that you did it for him.

If covers includes arrangements of instrumental music:

Vic Wooten is THE MAN.

I'm really sorry to hear that IMA. Awful.

I feel like this must have been nominated. Might be my favourite cover ever, just popped into my head (the video's great too).



And these guys ought to have been represented.
