[amccann7]

@AntzTunez thanks Antz! I really love the entire SFTW/ HH period the best!

peace, my friend

Amy

[MacAggy]

I love it!

[spoildn8410]

are bands like this anonymous so YouTube will not have to pay royalties? Guess I am dumb. Guess SOMEONE is dumb..how can this

band get exposure if no one has info?

[marcelotull]

Wow what a video without words. Your voice is excelent I liked so much. I love Jethro Tull.

[bluezinharp]

AWESOME! It's like Jethro Tull meets the Sundays! Who does this and do they ever tour the Eastern U.S.?

[loni50otter]

It´s the first time I answer for a cover version. But this version is so warm and I hope, many user listen this version. I hope, you understand, my English is not so good. I tell this to my friends here in Germany.

Good luck for you, my dear amccann7

[loni50otter]

Wonderful. Many thanks. Great version.

[MrPkawol]

who was that dude who didn't like your cover?

maybe Ian himself? :) doesn't like competitors.

[mork1]

@amccann7 simple percussions fit very well.

This is a complex , multi-layered song and your version is fine !

[mork1]

Courageous "cover" ( you 've done more than a cover , of course.... ) ; beautiful outcome . Brava ! :-)

[prestonplatform1]

loved this cover

[WelsmanR]

I found this site quite some time ago. I just noticed your reference to a brother Tim Welsman so I can only conclude that I came onto this when I was doing a search on Welsman. I assume your great grandfather was Charles Welsman. My brother, his two sons, and my daughter are the last on George's side of the family with the surname.

[WelsmanR]

@amccann7 I liked your version. Obviously I am a novice so any assistance would be appreciated.

[WelsmanR]

Great music and a great video. I've been working on mandolin and octave mandolin for a couple years. The octave mandolin (capo on the 5th fret) works great on this piece. I haven't figured out the all the notes in this piece. Is there anywhere one could find the mandolin tab for it?

[omarragbag1]

Hey Amy where is this video shot ? The caves especially ?? thats not near guelph is it ?

[omarragbag1]

Right ON!

[tcoudi]

Great cover.

So is so great...I was expecting a gnome to leap out of the tree roots.

[amccann7]

Amy, this is an incredible cover of song that seems simple, but is actually very intricate. Your charming arrangement makes it all your own. You are an amazing muscian and quite the director of film; the sites are alluring.

When I was a small kid my older cousin listened to Jethro Tull. They were some of my earliest influences. And you sing and play just so enchanting, Amy!

[BillyMegaWatt]

Wow, wow, wow, did I say wow? All hail wellington County! Fergus, Salem, Alma, and the Elora Gorge. You've just helped quite a few folks along into a greater understanding of just how wondrous an area we live in. The tune was haunting, and you, enchanting as always.

[RLSguitar]

Great work Amy! Jethro Tull is one of my all time favorite bands.

[fingercheese]
