Apropos of nothing in particular we have this lovely Andy Mann video in which the country around the Great Sand Dunes National Park & Preserve serves as the stage for “San Luis,” by Gregory Alan Isakov.
I stumbled upon this at NPR’s “World Cafe” while clambering down various rabbit holes, hoping to escape the wind.
Mad Blog Media 
nice.
That’s nice indeed! We will go to iTunes and throw a few pesos his way. In the meantime, if you capo on the 3rd fret and play G, F, and C, I believe you can play along with that song.
Have you ever used the tabs at Ultimate Guitar, Pat? This dude has some interesting insights into the way Isakov plays his music. Playing C with an open D string and sliding it up three frets for an alt-D. Who knew?
I haven’t used that site before, but I will now. Thanks. I picked up the Em, G, and the Am hacking along with the video but couldn’t figure out the other chords.
I’ve missed him twice but he passes through about once a year, so will catch him next time.
Really enjoyed this:

Or maybe dump the kids with grandma for a week and catch him with Joe Purdy in Dublin this December …
A sweet song and video about the San Luis Valley. I will pay attention to this artist.
