That's the Grape's classic "Sittin' By the Window," written by Peter Lewis, and performed by -- hole. e. shit -- his daughter Arwen.
The short version: that's from an entire album of Grape covers Ms. Lewis did in 2015, which apparently none of you bastards ever bothered to tell me about; I have been listening to it obsessively since Sunday, and I just can't get over how wonderful it is, both in execution and conceptually.
I should add that I love that her name on the guitar case is in the same typeface as the old Grape logo. Oh, and John Sebastian (yes, him) is on another track from the record; remind me and I'll post it later in the week.

this is a very enjoyable performance, in my humble opinion
it turns out she also has a podcast - at amazon it is asserted:

As the daughter of Peter Lewis, founding member of rock and roll cult icons, Moby Grape, and the granddaughter of Oscar-winning actress, Loretta Young, she’s been part of the creative cosmos all her life. She’s a slice of sonic heaven, poised to enter your heart, mind, and soul.
