As you play, the guitar talks to me, really in song. It's very magical to listen to such an accomplished and talented musician play a piece that becomes so close to a spiritual experience you can almost taste it with your ears. Well done, my friend.

Thank you!

Thanks. I appreciate your understanding of the song and the sound of your artistry.

Sid, I thank you for your thoughtful comment.

@RichardSharp Thanks Richard. I'm very new to this video stuff. I suppose I could record a song on my wife's Apple (What to save it as I'm really not sure...maybe Quicktime movie, or AVI, I don't know; something that I could then put into i-Movie and edit that way? I may start experimenting. Anyway, thanks for your response. I love your Taylor and the music you make with it. Keep posting...Dennis

@tremoloheart I use Adobe Premiere Elements which has many features and among them is the opetion to fade in or out and at what ever rate you like.

@RichardSharp Thanks Richard. I just listened to this again; I come back to it every now and again. The lryics are so beautiful and touching and yet the music stands alone on its own too, especially with your interpretation on this cover. You were so helpful in your last response to my inquiry, I'm going to ask you another question. How did you fade the audio and video at the end? It's such a nice affect.
