Man, that Yorick gets around pretty well for a dead guy.

 

Now everyone's gonna be raiding Sweet Willie's closet...

 

Nice job, Olds! Your voice on this one reminds me somewhat of Mike Scott, the lead singer of The Waterboys.

Shakespeare was a frickin genius-I find it absolutely breathtaking that he only had access to the same language/words as any other other human, yet could paint pictures with them of such unparalleled beauty.I was fortunate enough to have an A level English teacher who guided me his through some of his works.

     Anyway, what Uncle John said is,as usual,spot on.

Wonderful.  With your performance, those lyrics sound timely as today and as though they were your own.  You are better than 90% of the folks on the radio.

 Nice one , olds !
