@scatbacker - Thanx for listening, I'm glad you felt it. It is a great song to listen to when you're feeling down, somehow it manages to be sad and uplifting at the same time. Peace be with you.
Nice jobs man I enjoyed it ! I was only interested in how to play it but started listening to you sing it and forgot to watch the chords. haha Oh well I guess I'll have to watch it again. nice job! later Bob S
I always loved this song. The piano is missed, but once you got into the song I started seriously liking it. Nice job on the high parts, I wish I could do that. 5*****
Wow. Love the way you kept the song close to the original, yet was able to add some of your own flair to it. You added without taking away. Simply amazing. Love you voice.
Thank you so much for your kind comments. Interesting to me because I do tend to drift away from the original as time goes by, just playing it the way I feel it at the moment. lol Some people don't appreciate my ad libbing. I try to stick to the original cuz it's beautiful.., but hey...I'm not Michael Murphy. : (
omg i was like a teen now im in my 40's when i first heard this song on a radio while vacationing in acapulco so pretty and sad it made me cry this guy has an amazing voice like john denver
Hi, I didn't knew this beautiful song. You play it with a fine feeling for this, it is great. I like maj7s too. One of my favourite songs with tese harmonies is America by Simon & Garfunkel.
Nice job, cuz. More from the ol' memory book. Keep listening to your wife. She has great taste in music. Regards to the both of you. All the best. - Mark
Thanx man. I've been digging thru a notebook of handwritten lyrics and chords on paper that's turning yellow...trying to convert them to Word documents, more coming soon...
He's a local boy, so I get reminded of it every year when he sings at the Myerson Center. Plays and sings it a little different everytime, but he still has the golden pipes.
Nice job. Certainly worth of posting. Thanks for sharing.

Forgot to mention that I dig the tone of your voice and that little scratch you have in your voice, really easy to listen to.
