Favorite Folk Music - Indigo Girls - Closer to Fine

Hello everyone!

I have loved Indigo Girls since the 90's. Yes, yes, I am old. I didn't start playing the guitar until I was 43! I'm so glad I decided to be bad at something new. Here I am three years later, playing songs I never thought I would be able to play. Indigo Girls have some pretty epic riffs and neat tricks! Not only that, their songs are soulful and unique. It's been a bit of a challenge learning their little finger pickin' tricks but I'm getting it!

Closer to Fine is definitely a favorite because haven't we all been through some difficult life situations? I think about God a lot and I love the spiritual message of this song. "The less I seek my source for some definitive, the closer I am to fine." Ain't that the truth? Sometimes you just have to walk the path even if it's spooky with a mist of a thousand ghosts.

Here's my cover! I'll probably revisit it in a year, and it will be cool to see how far I've come. I've already listened to some of my earlier recordings, and with my new abilities I'm like....yeah, I should re-do that one. LOL. So cheers to growing in my musical journey. Hope you find the courage to be bad at something new too!

 

Thank you for visiting my corner of creation!
