Hey Bob, you just made my evening. I am back from training, it's almost midnight here and I am tired like a dog. This is the time when I often find myself returning to my favourite YT heroes, of whom you are in the top three. You must know that I like your covers so much even though I don't always comment. But this song is particularly nice, fits my mood right now. I just sit here and listen to you over and over again. Thank you. I saw your daughter's comment -- that must have warmed your heart.

[1catbob]

@Zsolto66 Hi Zsolt! I hope you didn't fall asleep in front of the computer like I do sometimes. :) Coincidentally, I was just thinking of you earlier today. One of my YT channel subs is shut down now and I was hoping you were still here. I'm glad to see you are back and I hope your training went well. Thanks for watching the video. The song was written by my YT friend M.o.M. My daughter is away at a university now and she doesn't know what songs I'm getting ready to upload. :)

Bob

[CaptGolightly]

A really lovely song thanks.

[1catbob]

@CaptGolightly Thank you for watching, Andrew. This song was written by my YouTube friend Lisa (mindovermatter2009).

I took a peek at your channel. You have some good covers there and I like your singing very much.

Bob

[CaptGolightly]

@1catbob Thanks for listening my friend, just listened to M.o.M and asked permission to cover it...great song.

When I was a kid, we lived in El Paso for three months, but my mother got homesick, so we came back to 'Bama. But I loved El Paso. It was a beautiful place that had some amazing sunsets cast against the desert 'scape. Another wonderful cover, Bob. I really enjoyed the listen! :) Janet

[1catbob]

@onewomanandsomesongs Lisa's song just clicked with me and I was really glad that she let me cover it. Never been to west Texas myself but have always wanted to visit. I have a hometown musician friend who lives in NM so, who knows, maybe I'll get down there some day. Thanks for watching, Janet.

How did I miss this one, Dad? It's great! I love that you did it upstairs. Our house looks nice. Good lighting too. Love you, Dad!!

[1catbob]

@maireadre Glad you found the video. As you can see, I was standing in front of the window by the TV :) Love you too, kiddo! See you soon.

[ErikaRagazzi]

Very nice !!!!!!

[1catbob]

@ErikaRagazzi Grazie, Erika.

[1catbob]

@VWSue Thank you very much, Susan. It was definitely my pleasure to cover Lisa's song. She's a great gal who puts her heart and soul right out there into the open for all to see. I really like that about her.

Bob

[CurtisMateer]

Oh MoM. I think I'm subscribed to her, or once was or something...haven't heard or seen anything by her come up for a while anyway. This is a lovely song however. And you have played and sung it exceptionally Bob. I don't know how long you take to rehearse, record and upload your posts but they are always of a very high standard.

Pete

[1catbob]

@CurtisMateer Thanks, Pete. To be honest, I intended for this version to be just a private screening for Lisa until I could get around to making a 'proper' video. It was the first take of me making it all the way through the song. I usually spend a lot more time trying to get things just right. I often make a lot of mistakes as soon as the camera starts rolling :) Once I finish the video portion, I always spend some time with the audio to compensate for levels and room acoustics.

[PatrickGMoran]

A real fine upload my friend. The quality of your playing stands out on this song Bob. Lisa wrote a great song and your version is outstanding. Thanks for an enjoyable listen.

[1catbob]

@PatrickGMoran Thanks for watching, Pat. Her song just stuck in my head when I saw her play it so it felt like I had no choice but to learn it :)

Bob

[TanteA]

Hi Bob, this is a very good cover of a very good song. I like it very much.

Nice greetings from Anette

[1catbob]

@TanteA Lisa's beautiful song impressed me the first time I watched her play it. I'm glad you enjoyed my cover, Anette.

Bob

[mindovermatter2009]

@TheBeestoncowboy thank you Les. i love what bobby did to my song ...he made it whole. Lisa Maria

[1catbob]

@TheBeestoncowboy Thank you, Les. As stated in the video description, my YT friend Lisa wrote this song and I liked it the first time I heard her version. I knew right away that I had to learn it for myself. A beautiful song written by a beautiful person.

Bob

[theoneandonlytrav]

Wow in the living room!? This is new. As always I love your singing CatBob. You are one of the most talented people I have ever known. :)

[1catbob]

@theoneandonlytrav Yes, it was my first try for recording in the living room, Trav. I guess it worked out all right. Thanks for watching and for always being so supportive.

[rhopen]

Very fine Bob, you really capture the best of acoustic music in your playing and singing, a classic sound and feeling. Great stuff. -Ron

[1catbob]

@rhopen Lisa's song grabbed me right away, Ron, and I couldn't get it out of my head. I guess my brain was trying to tell me something :)

Bob

[0258jtj7]

The singer and song is perfectly matched here. Excellent.

[1catbob]

@0258jtj7 Thanks, Ray. I had a good feeling right away about Lisa's song and it was fun for me to put myself into it.

Bob

[manriq47]

Absolute killer, Bob! Beautiful matching of lyrics, guitar and vocals. Oh yes, and a great job on that harp, too. Way to saddle up, pard. All the best. ~ Mark

[1catbob]

@manriq47 (-: Thank you, Mark. I originally uploaded this video privately as a trial to Lisa and it wasn't intended by me to be the "final" public share here. It was a first take and a first experiment with recording in my living room. My physical appearance (bad hair day) wasn't really how I wanted to be seen either but Lisa's high praise convinced me to show it to the "world". I liked her song beginning with the first time I heard it.
