Here’s a great acoustic guitar player from Sweden (where he’s a successful studio musician), Jimmy Wahlsteen, with a song from his upcoming album 181st Songs.

I love the tone and timbre he's getting. It's rare to hear a guitar that does well on that in both high and low notes

If you scroll the menu at the bottom when it's done there's other songs by him in the list

It also makes the racist who attack the Obamas look even worse, if that were possible. How can you look at Barack And Michelle Obama and their children and then feel such hate. Their actions merit suspicion, surely, and even distrust at times. But to hate as the racists do is just vile and unreasoning.
