Song of the Month - June 2021 - Sultans of Swing

I'm going to work my way backwards through Facebook's confusing system and try to get all the videos Eric has posted for his Song of the Month series. Today's month is June 2021, and the song is Sultans of Swing.

Jun 1st - Song of the Month, Day 1:



Jun 2nd - Song of the Month, Day 2: Here's the whole reason "Sultans" is this month's song. My friend Michael-sensei wanted me to show off his friend's skills on a gayageum. I said, give me a good one, and I'll make it the Song of the Month. So here's Luna!



Jun 3rd - Song of the Month, Day 3: Hey, these guys are good!

Jun 12th - Song of the Month, Day 12: I had hoped to find a version today on an organ or harmonica or something different, but "Sultans of Swing" just seems to be something people want to play on the guitar. Nothing wrong with that, it is a great guitar song. So, here's another one!
