Thanks, yes especially good given the state of mind I was in back in the day I was playing this all the time.

Glad there's still some "stuff" left back in the cobwebs.....

Hey, that's great… thank you so much! I just sat here and sang it with you several times. What a gorgeous little tune. I used to play that back in a previous life. Maybe I need to pull that one out again.

Makes my day… thanks, Todd!

Wow, great job on that tune! I haven't heard that since 1974 or so. I don't think I ever heard Gordon Lightfoot do it, a friend in high school (Del Woodring) sang it on a WMMS Coffebreak Concert. I used to have a recording of that but it's long gone.
