That was fabulous Bill! Perfectly played and beautifully sung. Did you record all through the one mic?

Great job Bill. Very enjoyable! Your vocals are in perfect range for this song (as well as The Boxer). I've attempted this song before but gave up after awhile. I think you've inspired me to take another crack at it. Thanks!

....Wow!.... Simply beautiful....

You seem very connected to this song some how. It felt heartwarming.
Sandy must be very proud to have a song dedicated to her :)

Wonderful in every way
Corina.

Dermot, Daryl, Willem, Sandy, Craig, & David - Thank you! :)

Chris - Thank you. I used the one condenser mic

Corina - Thank you again. I do feel a connection to all of JT's songs, this one in particular. JT is my age and I've followed his career since the beginning. I saw him in concert at Yale Bowl in 1972 ( and a few other places later). Was sitting about 10 feet from him. I used to vacation on Martha's Vineyard and always wanted to run into him to have a conversation. It never happened. He doesn't live too far from me, so who knows maybe some day I'll get the chance.
