Default Way above my skill level but it was a request....

Friend of mine requested this beautiful Cat Stevens song... immediately I was taken aback because I knew I would ruin the song, it's so beautiful.... way beyond my amateur singing ability.... won't quit my day job! I aint goin to Hollywood... Bummer....

You may not be going to Hollywood...but you did it justice. Good listen. Love that one man/one guitar stuff.

Not bad at all, Gil. You can give yourself a little more credit.

I think you did a great job, Gil and you sound a lot like him. The only suggestion I have is, on the chorus, when you sing "I....." that is supposed to have more dynamics to it. Listen to the original, he starts out soft and gets loud. I know he has back up vocals there, but you can do that with a single voice. The dynamics are a very effective part of the song.
