Thank you Alan. There is some huffin and puffin and I am always happy when I don't "blow" a note. Great to hear from you. :)

Thank you Doug. I try not to torment folks with my harp playing but sometimes I do when it fits :)

I listened and felt like you were and are a fan of this song and group.  Very good cover.  Vocals, twelve and harp.  Fitting and excellent.    Yeah, and maybe more heart felt honesty.
