Thanks for posting this. I have always loved this too... you have done a great rendition, very tastefully done and true to the original melody but with your own flavour.

Such a great tune, and you did a great job. I like the lead tone. I'm going to have to play the original at some point today.

i love this tune, reminds me of many things, some good and some bad but firstly it reminds me of the opening scenes of 'withnail and I' my favourite ever film, check it below if I added it right.
Your version is great, loved to listen to it.

Hang on, I didn't comment on this (thought I did, d'oh!)
Really nice to listen to, your version. I like that it's an instrumental, it's fresh. And beautifully played at that.
It's one of those songs that always seemed to be around when I was growing up, like musical wallpaper. Great to hear it anew.
