[nllleonard]

Thank you Mark! Yes, I am going to learn guitar, but you all have such a head start on me! And you'll have to put up with me while I learn! THanks for listening to this one! I love your cover of Guy's great song! Very nice! ~NAncy

[Carlfgauge]

This is Great Nancy!!!! Trying to Hear the Music Behind It ....Would Love to add some....Its Haunting!!! sounds Like it was written in 1865!!!!

[nllleonard]

Hi Carl! I've always felt I belonged in the late eighteen hundreds, so it's not surprising that you got that from my song. I would love to hear what music you would put behind this! Thanks for coming by to listen, and for your kind words, my friend! ~NAncy

[Carlfgauge]

WOW Its deja vu All Over Again!!LOL!!! I know what you Mean...I have weird feelings about WW2 Myself...Its Very Possible!!!!!

[frozenwhitebear]

this is so awesome beautiful and amazing! I admire your talent to (even to a foreign speaker) weave apparently simple words together to a colorful and warm sounding mosaique which looks like it had ever been this way!

[nllleonard]

Thank you. ;) You are so nice to say such lovely things about my song. Very glad you enjoyed it! ~NAncy

[oldnrone]

Wow, didn't even realize there was no music the first time I listened to it. Beautiful!

[nllleonard]

Hi Guy! ;) I'm going to learn to play guitar one of these days. THanks for being so nice! I'm happy you liked my song! ;) New one from you soon? Hope so! ~NAncy

[Stellasgarden]

You are so darn good... I wish I could sing... all I can do is garden and dance...

[nllleonard]

Aw Lina....you are so kind! Hey, I can't dance!!! I guess it would be boring if we all had the same talents anyway. And I am at best just a passable singer.

~NAncy

Amazing!

Such a nice poetical poem and tune.

Wonderful sung!

By the way... In German we say Sternjasmin (Star Jasmine)

All the best

gari

[nllleonard]

Hi Gari,

What a nice comment! Does Star Jasmine smell heavenly too? Confederate Jasmine is scrumptious! Indescribable! ;) ~NAncy

[garibelon]

If we mean the same plant (bot. Trachelospermum jasminoides) it did! :)

[nllleonard]

I do believe that's the same plant!

How interesting! ;) ~NAncy

[garibelon]

In a further life I was a nursery gardener and a landscape gardener.

Not all I forgot during the last 18 years:))

All the best

gari

[Johnfern99]

Wow, this is a great song and the pics add a lot to the song! It sounds like it could have been written long ago cause it seems almost like a traditional song. Just excellent writing and you sing it beautifully!

[nllleonard]

THanks John! ;) Yes, I am sort of stuck in the 19th century with Poe and Emily D. I sure appreciate your kind comments here! ~NAncy

[gerdenshed]

When you wake before dawn in the morning

Still lost in your dreaming and surprised by the moon....

Hi

NAncy~

Your spine-tingling original composition was impecabbly and perfectly-rendered in acapella form,accompanied by some inspiring images that seamlessly match your hauntig vocals presented in the style of Emmylou Harris. Many thanks for sharing this very moving showcase with us...it is indeed a very rewarding and life-affirming musical experience to behold and savor.

Peace,

Max

[nllleonard]

Ah...Max. ;) Your wonderful grasp of the language always makes me feel painfully inadequate, but suffice it to say that I am very grateful for your every generous  comment, dear Max. We are all so fortunate to have you here, and I truly look forward to your every word!!! Thank you!
