This song has been covered to excess, but this is a really nice version.  Note the heavy B-3 texture in the verses, and the solos by Lettieri and Miller.

Peter, that harp guitar piece was gorgeous; thanks!

You're welcome, Dave; I thought so too.

Peter (who would love to take up harp guitar - but can't quite handle 6 strings, let alone 21......)

Harp Guitars. I had a good buddy who taught guitar at Fret Mill Music here in Roanoke. (music store I do bass repair/setup work for) Stacy Hobbs. Anyway, Hobbs was a freakishly gifted guy, who took 'having people skills' to a whole new level. He just had this infectious sense of humor... made people feel like laughing for no reason. I believe he took up playing harp guitar because he was bored with six strings. I was so amazed by him it was difficult to play bass along with anything he did, no matter how elementary. Stacy moved away to Florida several years ago, and we lost touch, but I hope to reconnect one day. He apparently has quite a collection of harp-guits, but here he is playing one of his older ones. Dyer maybe.

Because I've been listening to Volume 1 of Fleetwood Mac's 50-year anthology "Don't Stop", with remasters of tracks from the early years with Peter Green, Jeremy Spencer, Danny Kirwan, Bob Welch, I've naturally been trying to isolate what McVie was doing.

Looking around on YouTube I discovered that they had resurrected Peter Green's "Man Of The World" for the last leg of the World Tour last year in NZ. Neil Finn and Mike Campbell do a pretty nice tip of the hat here to the guys who started that gig. Decent A/V here-

Loved the Stacey Hobbs - and, with my opinion of Kansas being what it is, that's saying something!
But what truly amazed me was the collection of instruments behind him; wow!

And on the subject of doing S&G on harp guitars, here's the first one I've ever seen with nylon strings:
