I was fooling around with this oldie-but-goody the other day and decided to check out some different Youtube versions. When I heard the Johnny Cash version, I immediately thought of you, Gary. I just threw together a 'funk' version with my SEVEN and Compact 2x but i'd like to hear you do it 'Johnny Cash' style (or any way you want to). I just thought it would match up well with your voice type if done in the traditional manner. BTW, if you listen to 10 versions of this song, you'll hear 11 different sets of chord changes (which is good 'cause you don't have to worry about yours being wrong ).

Hey, "Buck" Giles! My office manager, who dislikes country music s much as I do is FLOORED! She loves this! My take is, there are many songs over time done to match different markets, with equal success. Many of Gladys Knight early songs were also recorded in other styles, crossing audience segments.

Great rendition, Chas. I'll give it a try vocally when I get home later today from the boat. Still have some work to do before the first sailing venture down Chesapeake Bay.
