Never heard that, but i'm sure ya did it justice
if not better. Your style reminds me of gorden lightfoot a bit

I don't recall hearing the original but I don't see how I've missed much now that I've heard yours. Hmmm, not sure if that came out right. What I meant is that your version is great, don't how the original could be much better. You really got the Gordon Lightfoot story telling serenade thing going for ya Jomi. And a beautiful recording too!

Haha, right after I wrote this I looked up and saw tom's post. So I guess that confirms it.

That was very enjoyable Jomi!

Jomi · #10 July 26th, 2007

Witchywoman, thank you

that's true and it's still popular in the folk clubs today!

Thank you Eddie,

and I really appreciate you adding it to your soundclick station.

Thanks Tom

You must be quite young then!!!

Thanks Fly135

I obviously need to look up Gordon Lightfoot.

Allthumbs, thank you,

I'm up to about 25 songs, most of them are other peoples though.

Jomi · #11 July 26th, 2007

Cheers Mattz, glad you liked it.

Thanks a lot Hilch

Myself and Elle have been working on a song for several weeks, it's awkward because of the different time zones and finding the time etc, but there's no rush.
I know Scarborough fair, but when I looked up the link it was lyrics only, does Sarah Brightman do a different version?

Thanks Skinny

It's a lovely song, and a pleasure to sing and play, ....better than the original??? Close that fridge door and get some black coffee in you!!

Thank you too Neil,

I stand by it!
If anybody else would like to comment here is the original version, by Ralph McTell.
Jomi, you tell the story, not just sing and play

Hilch · #15 July 26th, 2007

Jomi

Sarah sings the version I think we all know ,

Are you going to Scarborough fair
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
He once was a true love of mine

Just thought it would really suit your voice ..
