"Thrasher" Covered @ IRF

The Neil Young song "Thrasher" performed by Gil Garcia at the International Rust Fest acoustic night held at the "Old Princeton Landing" (OPL) bar above Half Moon Bay, CA on 10/23/08.

Thanks Gil!

So, what possibly could the song "Thrasher" be all about anyways?

This night at OPL was my first real public performance and I was very nervous so I stuck with songs I know very well like this one. Thanks again, and HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Thanks! That's pretty good. You're the first one to notice that since written 12 years ago. Congratulations!

I'm looking forward to more postings of this year's OPL on the RustoVision channel.

Happy New Year!

Just to say, keep up the good work Gil, I've seen a lot of your covers on YouTube and you do a fantastic job. Really enjoy watching you play and it's rare to see someone actually do the songs justice. I play too and do my best to get those little Neil "subtleties" into the songs but you nail it. Well done mate.
