It takes a lot of guts to perform this song live all by yourself -- and you pulled it off, Maura. That was a really beautiful and impressive performance.
Thanks for all the kind words, all. It's so much fun figuring out such a complex song and playing it...especially when, as today, the whole audience sang along "Shangri-laaaaaa" like a big booming choir...hope someone taped that one!
hey Maura...that was really cool...I'm a huge kinks fan and also singer/guitarist ..love your voice...and you are some kind of pretty!!! you really have nice stage presence...are you from New York? I'm from PittsburghPa...thanks, Nick
Ray Davies may be one of the most under-appreciated writers ever. Thanks Maura, for doing right by the man! I think he would approve of the awesome outfit as well.
Brilliant ! Just saw Ray Davies perform this with the Crouch End Festival Choir in N. London. What a pleasant surprise to find this upon returning. You are a gifted singer/musician and have impeccable taste in material that you cover !
Although Maura does justice to any song, this goes beyond that. Ray Davies' songs are all technically brilliant and difficult to sing. This is simply a great rendition. ( And, of course, as always Maura looks fantastic!)
Great rendition! :-D

That bridge proves what I've been telling people all the time: If you can't rock out on acoustic, then you can't rock out, period.
And you, ma'am, Rocked Out! :D

Thank you! It was like learning to play 5 different songs! And harder to play than most Beatles songs!
