Default "Fire and Rain" Cover

For me it all started with JT. Here is my homage to his classic "Fire and Rain".

Your comments are always appreciated.

Steve, good job. That song is very difficult to sing, at least for me. Not that I am a singer, but I tried it. You pulled it off beautifuly.

I can barely finger pick at all, let alone pick and sing in proper synch. Nice job!

Steve, I love the great quality sound you are getting on your recordings... both guitar and voice sound full, clear and balanced! This is one of my favorite songs and you did it justice!! Thanks for sharing it.

At the risk of breaching etiquette...
Here's my attempt at the same tune. Not as good recording quality as the OP unfortunately.

Default Great Song . . . Uncool Hijack!

Hey there GG. That was a great rendition of one of my all-time favorite James Taylor songs. Nice vocal and guitar work.

But wassup with BuddaBill, doesn't he know it's not cool to Hijack???

Really nice - maybe one of my favorites of the things I've heard from you so far! Singing is just great, and I agree with the others that the quality of everything is just perfect. Love the clear sound of that guitar.

(this might be the first time I listened to "Fire and Rain" the whole way though actually, now I think of it).

I'm a big JT fan. I wish I could have written all his songs . . . then again, I'm pretty certain many people do
