[raffaport]

Thank you, Gari. That's much appreciated.

[EAM38]

That was great.

[raffaport]

Hi. Thanks very much that.

Nice, it's a timeless song, no dounbt there will be a dance floor techno version out there somewhere.

Great version, I like the uke, I could imagine this take in a movie like Henry and June.

[raffaport]

Thanks very much, Kev - much appreciated. 'Down in the Hole' eh? Great song. I'll have a go, but it'll probably take me ages like everything else these days! It's got a brill but tricky rhythm. I'll see if I can muster a mate to add a harp bit in between the vocals instead of what Waits has (sax?). The guitar solo might be a gauntlet left on the ground. I'm having a crack at Martha at the moment (the song rather than the neighbour!). Regards.

I love this one Graham......Tom Waites is my kinda music...this is what I love about youtube the different takes and versions of some wonderful songs made more wonderful ...I,ve been wanting to try way down in the hole for ages ...but like everything else I aint got around to doing it....so thats my request ....if you have a couple of spare minutes why not do way down in the hole

[nllleonard]

One of the nicest versions I've heard. Love the song.

[raffaport]

That's very kind of you to say, Nancy. And thank you very much for your other messages as well - they are much appreciated. Regards.

Classic Raffa. Done a bit of bar sitting and soul searching in my time. T W's words bring it all back through your excellent interpretation. The uke compliments that lonesome feel perfectly. Stars, thumbs and all the good stuff.

[raffaport]

Thank you kindly, Nav. I am a great fan of that first album. I think I'll have a shot at another off it sometime. Hope all is well with you and the preparations for the carol services. 'Bah humbug' do I hear?

[1Jisom]

My guitar!! what happened too it, It shrunk.. I guess this is the way this crazy worl is going,  downsize , and we will save the planet one string at a time..

[raffaport]

Hi, Jeff. Rumour has it that your body parts are going the same way - you need to publish a denial immediately and perhaps supply references. Regards.

[UncaJeffy]

Great job on one of Waits' best! Ukulele fits it and your voice perfectly!

[buniluvr]

Sweet Graham! You sound heavenly; thanks for sharing. All stars to YOU!

[raffaport]

Hey, Rich. Thanks for that and I think you should sing it to her! Regards.

[maggiesband]

Thank you for this great rendition, Graham! Our band listened this silently, and the tone of your voice suits also this good Waits song perfectly. (I also checked that your uke's tuning was aligned with my guitar while listening this many times.)

Thumbs up and Best Regards, Maggie's Band.

[raffaport]

Hi both. I'm glad you liked it and hope that you have a go at it. It sounds good on the guitar too.

[williheckaslike]

You're an irresistible crooner Graham, your voice is like a cristal water...

Actually, I'm very resistible, but you are very kind, Nono. Thank you.
