'The Cape' by Guy Clark - 5/17/20

Guy Clark died 4 years ago today, so I hopped on the roof and played "The Cape".

"He's one of those that knows that life is just a leap of faith, spread your arms and hold your breath, and always trust your cape"..

RIP, to one of the best thats ever done it.

Brilliant. Heard this at an open mic tonight for the first time and I was incredibly moved by the message. I'm 58, old and gray and still trust my cape. Brilliant version.

Great cover of one of my favorite songs. Thanks!

Ive sat next to Guy as he played this song ....a few different times. He’d be proud of this .

Yeah, I had just found you when I made that comment. Now, after a little research, I can see that you are a professional and you have many more songs that will entertain me. Thanks for your work. All the best.

I've been listening on repeat since I found this yesterday. My favorite version of this song (yes, even the original) ❤️

Wish I could give more than 1 thumbs up

You know it’s funny. I use to think that this was a happy and joyful song. But it’s strange to see you sing this song for Guy. Don’t get me wrong... this was incredible.

What a funny thought, to think that he will never sing it again. I just miss seeing Guy singing his songs for his fans.

This was a beautiful cover.

How are we supposed to keep on keeping on when our heroes cannot?

Man, you are pretty damn good. What do you do when you are not sitting on the roof playing? Do you ever show others how to play songs?
