Different weapon this time. I fancied a change, so dug out the acoustic. For me this is a rare venture into the late sixties Shadows material. Writing credited to Peter Vince. I believe he owned a property in the Alentejo region of Portugal, and that the house was called... Alentejo!



Enjoy Lockdown Session 5. Or not. Tell me what you think.

Nice performance of one of my favourite rarities.
Well done, Justin.

Nice playing, Justin. I practiced this one (on electric guitar - I didn't have a really good acoustic until the 2000s) when I got the album in 1968.

I've always sensed a certain similarity between the melody and cadences of Alentejo and those of the standard song Out Of Nowhere.

Thanks, gents.

Jim, I certainly see what you mean. Definitely some similarities there. Lovely tone on that jazz guitar. Not seen a lead picking style like that before, either. Not quite classical; it's almost a bassist's hand position.

Perfect

Sounds so nice and sweet. Well played sir. Cheers Neil
