You've done a great job on this Tom, strong vocal, not an easy song to play, this is a cool take on a great song.

Thanks SS, i resist trying to sing like someone else unless its elvis, i even surprised myself a bit. There was one move here going from A to D quickly i barely muttled through, and i cheated on the Bm chord

You really captured the sense of sadness and futility on this one, Tom. The playing is still coming along, a bit rough here and there as you said, but the end effect was a strong rendition. Nice.

Thanks cshude and aunti

i do hope the playing can because more 2nd nature, i keep thinking i need something to pull me too another level such as lessons, but i would rather not do that, because my nature isn't compatible with lessons

Nice work Tom. I must say I'm impressed on how much you have developed since I've "heard" you on the forum, especially with your vocals.

Keep it up. I really enjoy your music.
