Like I said, I think in this case you improved upon the words I wrote.

Some lines are more important than others.  For example, "This time has been so blue" is a reference to Picasso's Blue Period (of which this work is a product).  So I'm glad that stayed in.

But your final version is perfect.  I wouldn't want you to change it.

Wow! Mark...this is perfect. You've painted the old guitarist with music. The words and music are the perfect match. Brilliant. Please don't change a thing.

Me too! I didn't expect that, but i'm getting into this, almost wishing there was another song available. Such fun.
Mark, wonderful job, I wouldn't change it, sometimes the magic is there in the  first couple hours, and looks like you found it!

Fantastic song, Mark - loved the opening riff and all the dynamics you put into it, and your own style is stamped in true.

Now I've gotta get myself in gear... ;)
