[raffaport]

Thanks very much, CQ.

Great song. Love your take on this. Tom Waits is difficult to do. Too low for me but perfect for you.You really draw every last drop emotion out of this. Absolutely glorious. Shed loads of thumbs my friend.

Lost love eh? My only regrets nowadays are the ocassional dodgy YT upload!!

[raffaport]

Thanks a lot, Nav. Hey, just listened to your latest with your pals. Anyone reading this, check it out. Brill! Can I be in your gang? Regards, Raff.

[Lis025]

C'est superbe bravo, que du bohneur de t"écouter !

[raffaport]

Thank you for those kind words. Regards to you, Marj.

Great vocals, Graham, again. Your tone control and soft guitar sound works here just perfectly, not to mention the well conducted choir. Never heard this song before, although covered Tom Waits once. Touching lyrics, great to have the text it displayed plus chords.

Thumbs up and kind regards, Maggie's Band.

[raffaport]

Thank you very much, you two. Yes, it's a lovely song - I think you get more sentimental as the years roll on. Regards to you.

[Ma965]

great job mate! Love Tom Waits, well done

[raffaport]

Thank you, Jean-Hugues. I do appreciate your comments. Regards to you.

[J180Everly]

Beautiful, thank you! And thanks to your wife .... at least I guess you didn't sing the harmonies as well ;-)

[raffaport]

Hi Stefan. Thanks for that. Nope, just me doing the vocals. When I pick up my guitar my wife rolls her eyes and goes shopping. I bet I'm not the only one.

Never heard this song before.

Very nice rendition!

[raffaport]

Thanks, AD. Regards to you.

Tom waits is cool, I think he is a notch slower then most,  But hell that's welcome these days.. Seems real Natural too you Graham, well done..

[raffaport]

Thanks, Jeff. Yep, I like to take life at one pace - one notch up from stationary. Regards.

[carrolly2k]

Graham That was wonderful!

[raffaport]

Thank you, Jim. Really liked your version of The Weight today. Anyone reading this, go and have a listen. Regards.

Very nicely done Graham ~ Liked all the chord changes ....... I think you've started getting me into Tom Waits ! ~ Take care ~Geoff

[raffaport]

Thanks, Geoff, much appreciated. Don't forget to look up your birthdat song. Best to you.

[kennova01]

great job.. poetic.. lyrics.. something a little different.. spice of life..

[raffaport]

Hi, Ken. That's much appreciated, thank you.

[electricragtime]

Nicely done Graham....but you do realise that if you intend to pursue your present path you will have to drink much more bourbon and be permanently smoking cigars.and perhaps add a string bass in there. But seriously I like it very much its beautifully done

[raffaport]

Hey, Kev. Thanks very much for that. It's beer and wine only these days. Gave up smoking years ago, but a string bass ... hmm. Another threatening letter in the post from the wife ending with "... and where do you think he's going to put it?" Answers postcard etc.

[electricragtime]

@raffaport funnily enough I sold my string bass a couple of weeks ago for almost the same reason

[kidderminsterbro]

hey raff

well done

it's always nice to hear something

off the beaten path

i think mr. waits would approve

peace,rich

[raffaport]

Hi Rich. Thank you for that. I think we both tread the same path now and again - I'm still enjoying your "Would You Like To Play The Guitar?" Great stuff. Regards, Graham
