I bought a cassette tape of this album many years ago. She did say on the cover that there was no copyright on this song and anybody who sang these songs were a friend of hers - so no need to apologise I guess.

[TheBeestoncowboy]

@vornavalley That's very interesting and so unusual......I still say sorry for not doing it justice its such a good song.

@krabbers Hi Mike

Thanks I did this early in my youtube career....very crude recording technique but I had to try it my way

Glad you liked it....I think most people find its not finger picked like the original and switch off.

[TheBeestoncowboy]

Close at least but nowhere near as prolific. She does have the advantage that..............Her quality control actually works unlike Bobs. Thanks for visiting

I've seen Les do this live, and it's great. Al.

[TheBeestoncowboy]

@AlbertBroughton Thanks Al

[vornavalley]

@TheBeestoncowboy It was unusual - I think that is why I remember it. You rendition is just fine for me, thanks.

@krabbers I like this version, cool voice.

[RETRO714]

@timtak1 NO way!!!!!!!!!!

I occurs to me that the poetry in these songs, is so evocative that I feel that Michelle is up there with Bob Dylan.
