Excellent - Great voice too man !!

Thanks. Thank was excellent. Well done.

The chorus was troubling me and now I get it.

@TheElmaleao... I thought his singing was fine. John himself didn't like the sound of his own singing voice & often demanded reverb in his headphones to put him more at ease when recording.
