NOT the song, but the right to tear it to pieces if you wish. I know it's not great, but it seems as if it is the best I can get it right now, at least live on the job, as it was recorded.

Nothing to tear up, very good job !! Nice recording for a live version and I've never heard that song before.

Give yourself a pat on the back.

As Bill said, nothing to tear up here, Don. Very nicely done...a slightly faster tempo works very well with this one.

Fine job, buddy.

The 'Mason Touch' ... very well done indeed, Don ...

Very Nice Job Don. You have a clear warm voice and the Korg sounds good. A warm resonant recording. Excellent.

I'll try my hand at this song after the new year when I get time also on the S950..

Excellent arrangement (great style and backing choir)!
Your voice sounds a bit strained at times, like you were tired, but this kind of adds authenticity to your rendition.
Personally I would have anticipated the fill (with change of variation) before the flute starts to play.
Also, a pad with a conga loop could add a nice touch.
Well done and thanks for your present!

Not bad for a country boy that says he can't sing.

Thanks old friend,

Gary

Don ... what style did you use for that?
thank you ...

Soft 8 beat. I have listened to it a couple more times and other than the melody straying, my voice sounding gravely, and the balance off a little, it was pretty average.
I'm sort of embarrassed.

... no need to be embarrassed ... as I said in the other post, the only thing I thought was a little off was the harmony at the end ... as far as your voice, who hasn't sounded a little 'gravely' during alive performance ... it adds a certain 'realism' - have you ever heard Neil Diamond LIVE - his studio guys must be musical magicians !!!

Well, embarrassed or not I thought it was a fine performance. I especially liked the choice of a flute for the solo.


Thanks for the music,
Dan

I do appreciate all the nice comments. I found another take on it on my recorder that seems a little better. If I get a chance after golf today, I may post it just for comparison. Every time I do a song, it is a little different.
I have no clue why I'm preoccupied with this song, except that it is an exceptional song!

Really liked the simple beat. Thanks for sharing - you are brave!

OK, since Donny is posting his rendition, I will also do one when my 900 comes too (even though I haven't sung a note for almost 3 years now.

I have never even played this song ever,...only heard it here last week,......I just have to get thru this hectic month with the holidays then I can bring the KB in the house and try to learn it on the S950.. ....
Happy Holidays everyone..

PS: Glad to see you back in the saddle Zuki
