@svbummin Thanks, I'll correct the info section.

@LiteGauge i enjoy shawn phillips material but prefer donovans version of this song myself. the song was unfortunately removed from the reissue of fairytale, which shawn phillips played twelve-string on. im pretty sure theres a video of phillips version on here from his im a loner album

@svbummin I checked it out, maybe it's because I heard it first, but I prefer Donovan's version.

Hi again :)

Very nice cover of this song.

Do not heard it with picking, before.

I play it in flatpicking style.

Thanks, Gari :) I think there's another finger-picking version on YT. I wish I could play like Richard Thompson with a flat-pick between thumb and index and picking with the middle and ring fingers - have to work at it :)
