Nice job, Glenn, of a great song by Lesley Duncan, RIP. Carey Creed also sings a stunning version of this song on her album "I'll Know You."

I like the guitar a lot; the only problem is the distortion on the voice (you must have been too close to the microphone) - but your voice and passion in singing it are great! I like the "bathrobe touch" myself!!

I'm only familiar w/ the Leslie Duncan version, but when you pluck the bass strings, the first two chords seem a little off (compared to her version) in this video. I think she might fret the B string on the second fret.
