Hi folks,

To be honest when first seeing you have arranged this as a solo acoustic number, I could not see it working. I was of course wrong, its a lovely arrangement and completely relaxing! Very well played.

Yo Jimmy,

Nicely done on one of my favs! ...you beautifully allow the breath and space of your guitar as well as your playing to help carry the melody.

I was also not sure if this could work, so I am more pleased that you like it!
