I still have my LP of Jesse where he does this one and Yankee Lady on it. This is as faithful to that rendition as any I have ever heard. Well sung and thanks for sharing.
Rudy, this is such a wonderful performance. You are joy to listen to. I love Jesse Winchester so much that sometimes I'm a little nervous about listening to a Jesse cover for the first time -- it's like his songs are almost sacred to me! Your cover, though, is absolute perfection! Take care -- hope you're having a great summer!
I am thrilled about the viewing numbers up there! Great that Jesse has gained such a following and wonderful that they are hearing you too! Both of those things make me very happy! THank you for being so kind and posting so many of Jesse's songs. You are a good friend! NAncy
Almost ten thousand views!!! WHat a great thing you did here! Now, we have some videos of the man himself, but at first, this was the only way so many people knew about him and his music. I can't imagine a better cover of this beautiful song, Thanks again, for taking my request, Rudy. ;)
Hey Rudy, why don't you just flood yourself over Jesse Winchester lol. I mean you are a cover dude not the real guy. So why is it when I type Winchester I get an asscap.
Now you may be ok but I don't want Rudy Vandam, I want Jesse Winchester. Why the flood of videos. You just piss me off.

Know what dude. Yer pretty good but I searched for Jesse Winchester not some dude doing a cover of everything he's done. Enough. Leave some room for THE REAL THANG!!!!
Jesse hid in Candada during the Vietnam War. I served in Vietnam myself and think Jesse could of served in the military in the entertainment branch but he turned his back on his country. A man is free to do as he wishes but he would of not had to fight if he would of played his cards right. That's all I have to say.
I just love this song! I have only ever heard Ian Matthews and Southern Comfort do this before. Totally cool to find this wonderful rendition of a little known, or little heard, song. Nice performance, heartfelt and solid. Thanks for posting.

So...when a person has twenty-two thousand plus comments on a song...does he even notice one more? ;)
HArd to believe, isn't it, Rudy? Considering the situation when we started.
Lovely to see this kind of appreciation for Jesse and for my very talented friend.
Thanks for taking my request, Rudy. ;) NAncy

There's an old musician's joke. A tuba player goes into an agent's office.
The agent says, "So what are you? Hot?"
Tuba player says, "No, sweet".
This is sweet.
