Just beautiful Jim.  I was like HEnwrench, it took me about 30 seconds to "get it", but then bam, the flood of emotion hit me and I hung on every note and word to the end.  You have a real funny nack to get right inside a song, get right to its root and elevate that right up.  Fantastic stuff.  Goosebumps at the flipping end, when you sing "you're going home"  sheeeeesh man.

     Oh yes.

        Strangely enough, the guy who played the sax own's an art gallery here in Penzance.

Simply wonderful, loved it. Like Henny I was kind of dreading this but it's jaw droppingly wonderful. V2 for me.

Cheers,

Nigel

If I had to choose, I don't know which one I would - I suppose I'm "Stuck in the Middle"

Well done.  Fabulous song, glad you didn't try the sax part, that is one piece of music it would be hard to listen to this week.  Love your vocals - just thought they might be up in the mix (1) a bit.

Beautiful. 

I didn't recognise the song at first, but I've heard it a lot.  You were able to do a completely new take on it and, while simple (beauty is so often simple), it works great.

Though the drone tone gives it a light, airey feel, the plucked notes imply lonliness, a little bit sad.  Its there in mr. rafferty's version, but you picked it up and put it on stage by itself.

A great big WELL DONE  ;D ;D ;D
