You've got to get up perty early in the morning to get one out before you, Mr. Higgins. 

Well done, Jim - your delivery and the Juno really add a great twist to this old classic!

[Bluesberry]

Damn this fest is turning out to be a big time learning experience for me.  I had no frigging idea about this Nilsson guy at all.  I have been watching utube vids all night.  I am shocked at his brilliance and fantastic voice.  Now, Jim, what you have done here is breathtaking.  I don't even recognize your voice.  Its got me under you spell.  I want to say that this is a brilliant cover.....I want to say that I haven't heard anything so beautiful all month........I wnat to say that I really love your cover here.........I want to say all that, but alas, I can't............its too much really.........I am listening and loving this and can't really say anything.............you have done something wonderful man...........how are you able to pump out so many songs tonight?

[Oldrottenhead]

fast and bulbous  , but im sure you can blow this one outta the water. for now my ears only hear the multitude of mistakes and bass is not my forte.so early bird might get the worm but there was an old lady that swallowed a fly i dont know why she swallowed a fly perhaps she'll die

[Oldrottenhead]
