Hey Joe, back for another listen. It sounds better the second time, you really embrace those lyrics. I don't think I have ever heard a bad rendition of this song. I like the Natalie Merchant/Michael Stipe version also. God bless you back.

[josephcormier]

@twinoak170 Hey I just listened to Bette Midler doing it. She is awesome!!! Thanks again my friend.

[twinoak170]

@josephcormier  You mean the one with the very long introduction.

[josephcormier]

@twinoak170 Yes the one from the telethon. I also listened to Natalie Merchant. She has a new fan in me. I fell in love with her as soon as I saw her. You have a good day. God bless you.

[twinoak170]

Real nice Joe, long may you run.

[josephcormier]

@twinoak170 Thank you so much. God bless.

[kayreive]

You've added another layer or two of poignancy to this classic tune and made it your own.

You have a great voice. Great playing. Great song!!!

[josephcormier]

@RattlerMan33 Thank you sir. God bless.

[danno58a]

Absolutely beautiful interpretation of this heart rending ballad. The emotion is palpable. Thank you for that, and I suspect Mr Prine would love your amazing cover.

[josephcormier]

@danno58a  Thank you very much. God bless you.

[Bamaboompa]

You are welcome. I get very tired of the nasty comments that seem to be on every music video.

You also can't tell if a cover is by someone doing a favorite song as a tribute, or someone who thinks they are the next American Idol.

I am envious of your playing ability.

Enjoy it.

[josephcormier]

@Bamaboompa I hear you. I been in the business for forty years. I appreciate your honesty sir. Thank you. God bless.

[Bamaboompa]

didn't like it - it sure isn't John!

[josephcormier]

@Bamaboompa Thank you for you frankness, and for not being nasty about it. I appreciate your comments. John Prine is one of my heros in the business. Just remember, songs are written to be interpreted.

[oldtomsundy]

well i must say,i never cease to be absolutely floored by some of the talented people sharing their music on youtube.this is truly music to my ears.you have a gifted voice for telling a story.

[josephcormier]

@oldtomsundy Thank you very much Old Tom. I really appreciate your comments. God bless you.

[sbbinahee]

Nicely done plus good images too. Thanks..

[eelpieislander]

So few views but so much humanity and beauty......thanks again Joe.

[ajoibrown]

Or maybe Kris Kristofferson?

[josephcormier]

This song was written by John Prine.

[ajoibrown]

This version sounds like Gordon Lightfoot.

[loosta]

Joe, I must say, very nice cover...good on ya.

[josephcormier]

Thankyou for your support

[Ermengarde11]

I like the slide show, I did one in the 70s for a college photography project, I only wish I had a way to transfer those slides to current technology.

[josephcormier]

Project your slide images, Take shots of them with digital camera. Download them to your computer. Use windows movie maker to make slide show. Does that help you? Thanks for your support. I appreciate your kindness.

[Ermengarde11]

That's a good suggestion. Thank you and I enjoy your singing very much, very rich and wonderful voice you have.

[alaskaozzy]

what a lovely rendition. thank you for honouring John-he has always been a favorite of mine.

[josephcormier]

You are most welcome, and God bless you.

[12thgenord]

"Hello in There!!!"

I immensly enjoyed your rendition.

God Bless!

[josephcormier]

Thank you very much. I love doing this song, from such a prolific song writer. John Prine is the king of folk.

[fkidder]

I love Prine, and you did a fine job with this song, one of my favorites!

Thanks!

[josephcormier]

Thanks for your kind comments.
