Cool version Gritter.

You definitely have your own style man.
I always enjoy you music (cover or original). You always seem to have a certain "calypso" feel to your tunes. Maybe just me?

Great tune regardless!!
It ain't pretty being easy.

Okay to Cover

These days I merely dabble at being old and wise.
But I swear, I used to absolutely excel at being young and stupid.

Oh man, this is excellent, Sandy! Very expressive guitar. Love the octave vocals and the effects. Great take on a great song!

I'd forgotten this song, it's such a long time since I heard it, but I think it will be coming part of my late night barbequeue repertoire!

It's a great version Sandy, it sounds earthy and real.

"Menacing" was the word that came to my mind.

I just got around to hearing this.  Excellent and really interesting take.

Great version Sandy! You really created something diferent from a very well known song. Great vocal performance and great sound. I love the echoey bits on the chorus, very clever. Did I say great enough yet? Because that's what it is!

Cheers,
