This is my version of Fabio Lima’s classical guitar arrangement of “Linger” by The Cranberries. The Cranberries was an Irish rock band from Limerick, Ireland, that formed in 1989. The Cranberries got Dolores O’Riordan as its singer in 1990. Dolores was an extremely talented & creative singer who played guitar. This classical guitar cover sounds much different than my usual video postings. I played and recorded this version of “Linger” using an GK amp with the microphone on the 4-speaker cabinet. I took the pictures in this video at the St. Louis Union Station hotel. There is an amazing 3D light show on the hour from 5P-10P in the Grand Hall lobby of the St. Louis Union Station hotel. The light show is projected onto the Grand Hall’s 65-foot ceiling. You can find lots to do in and around this hotel. St. Louis Union Station is a National Historic Landmark train station in St. Louis, Missouri, that has been converted into a magnificent hotel. The train station initially opened in 1894 as the largest train station in the world. All tracks and passenger service areas were on one level. Traffic peaked at 100,000 people a day. The last Amtrak passenger train left the station in 1978.

And if you see my reflection in the snow covered hills, Well the landslide bring it down. And if you see my reflection in the snow covered hills, Well the landslide bring it down, The landslide bring it down

Canon in C by Johann Pachelbel is a popular classical piece of music that Pachelbel composed in the Key of D. The guitar arrangement I am playing is played in the key of C, which is an easier version than the popularly played and known version of Canon in D. I have always loved this Pachelbel music and am glad I finally was able to learn and put my twist on it. I got this arrangement of “Canon in C” on the YouTube channel “Free Guitar Tabs.” Johann Pachelbel (b.1653-d.1706) was a legendary German composer, organist, keyboardist, and teacher. Pachelbel taught organ in southern Germany. He was one of the most influential composers during the Baroque era of music (1600 to 1750). The pictures in this video were taken of shops/restaurants/lodging in the downtown area of Lake Placid, New York. Lake Placid is a majestically delightful and beautiful area that is surrounded by stunning natural beauty (mountains, trees, and more!).
