Sittin' On Top Of The World | live in Tbilisi (Kartlis Deda/Mother of Georgia statue)

Live from the top of Tbilisi, Georgia, performing the traditional American blues song "Sittin' On Top Of The World" with my guitalele and harmonica near the big Mother Of Georgia (Kartlis Deda) statue, with a view over the whole city center of the Georgian capital. The song was written by Walter Vinson and Lonnie Chatmon, members of the Mississippi Sheiks, who first recorded it in 1930. It has been covered by many artists in many musical styles in the following decades. I personally love Bob Dylan's version from his "Good As I Been To You" album (1992). This is the 1st video in my new travel series from #Georgia, where I spent about three weeks travelling in May 2018, after visiting some places in Azerbaijan, which was my previous travel series. Watch the full playlist of my "Trip to Georgia" series here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnqAe66u5MobBWXbeM3CYcsYtM8xjYBHz Performed on May 18, 2018, while sitting on the top of Sololaki hill, near the ancient Narikala fortress (where the cableway shown in the videos arrives) and the big Mother of Georgia (Kartlis Deda, ქართლის დედა) statue (built in 1958 to celebrate the 1500th anniversay of Tbilisi, she holds a bowl of wine in one hand to welcome those who come as friends, while in the other hand she holds a sword to fight against enemies). From this very panoramic point there's a nice view over many of the main places in central Tbilisi, including Metekhi church, Tsminda Sameba (Holy Trinity) cathedral, Liberty Square, Rhike park with music theatre and exhibition hall, Bridge of Peace. Performed with Yamaha GL1 Guitalele and Hohner Pro Harp harmonica in the key of A. __________________________________ The short intro clip is a timelapse recording of myself painting the Georgian flag and showing some previews of the videos that will appear in this series in the next weeks. The background music was recorded by me and it's the intro of "Pray For Me", a new unreleased song that I wrote during my trip to Georgia and which will appear at some point in this travel series.
