Shilo
#
#Here's Shilo from Neil Diamond.
#It's from my big sister's original Bang Records
#single.
#
#When I was a little kid, I worshipped Neil Diamond.
#My sister bought a ton of albums and singles in the
#late late sixties and early seventies,
#so this stuff is in my blood.
#
#I also want to mention that I think the totally
#undefinable Neil Diamond is still great. Granted,
#orchestrated slow ballads make my skin crawl, but he
#could/can kick and rock.
#
#************************************************
#So, here's my formal invitation to Neil Diamond
#to come up here to Minneapolis and do
#an unplugged or semi-plugged thing at 1st Ave.
#(If you need a second guitarist, send me mail).

Shilo, when I was young

When no one else would come
Shilo you always came
And we'd play

She had other plans

Got to go, she said I'd know that you'd understand

The G6 is trying to mimick the orchestration - give it a try.
