    333 xox ♥♥♥

  • @imafishgod Have I told you Lately that I love you Paula Moynes ♥♥♥

  • great song.

  • @trevorm1 Thanks Trevor ..it really is a great tune

  • Pretty good.  Not significantly different from the Joan Baez version with which I am familiar.

  • Thank you my friend

    Rocket

  • Are you from Ottawa, Ontario?

  • Yes ..Ottawa Ontario Canada

  • I have a picture of myself taken at the WWI monument in Ottawa on Tuesday, May 11, 1971. If you want to see it, I can e-mail it to you. It's also on facebook.

  • Back to listen to the first one I ever heard you sing. I knew you were a good guy when I found you singing this. Jesse's words are so tender and gentle and beautiful, it takes a person with those qualities to perform his songs this convincingly. You are great, Rob! So glad I discovered you here.

  • Wow I can't believe that it's been almost 3 years since I made this video...Thanks Nancy you are too kind and your right I met you after doing this song..That alone made it worthwhile for me : ) Hugs xo

    Rob

  • Always nice to see you, please keep posting & screw the naysayers...

    Thanx my friend...

  • Thanks Celestino I appreciate it my friend. Hope all is going well with you

    Rocket

  • Hey Rocket-Glad I found this-so soothing-waltzing on air... I'm not real familiar with Jesse, so I'll have to explore. Hope your well in the northcountry...I might just have a Molson in your honor:)Best-Michael

  • I have a front row seat to see Jesse on November 15th! ;) I'm like a small child waiting for Christmas!!!

  • Right on Nancy..I've never seen Jesse in concert .. Wish I could attend the concert with you : )

    Rocket

  • It's been a while, so I had to come listen again tonight. Still love this! And here's the first song I ever heard you sing, Rob! And one of the first songs I ever listened to on youtube! See, you got me hooked! And now it's almost twenty thousand songs later, and I'll never be able to quit listening! So glad I chanced by your place and stopped here! It's been a pleasure and a trip my friend, and I look forward to sharing many more smiles with you! ;)

    ~Nancy

  • Nancy thanks for returning to this vid my friend..I'm shocked that it has almost 5000 views ..I would never have imagined that..anyway your the only person who comments on this one anymore and I appreciate it : ) I'm honored that it was one of the first vids that you listened to and one of the first videos that I made. I'm glad that you stopped here almost 2 years ago Nancy..It's great having you as a friend

  • Back again! Got any more of Jesse's songs that need to be sung? Happy to listen! ;)

    Nancy

  • Thanks Nancy..for checking this one out again..You are the only one who ever watches this video anymore..and I love you for that : ) I have so many songs by Jesse and others that need to be sung..I need to be more motivated lol.

    Love

    Rob

  • You have a huge captive audience Rob! Pick a song out of your hat and we're there! Would especially love another Jesse song! Is Boney Fingers still on the list btw? ;)

  • lol thanks Nancy..yes Boney fingers is still on the list : )

  • Hmmm...I listened to this one many months ago, but I looked back in your archive of comments (!) and saw none from me! An oversight on my part! Jesse Winchester is my favorite singer/songwriter, and I'm always pleased when musicians perform his music. So glad you chose this one! Thanks for your loving interpretation of a great song!

  • Nancy thanks very much my friend..Just a great song by Jesse Winchester..Thanks for your comment. I do appreciate it : )
