Last song for the weekend. This recording is different from the other recordings I've posted on this website in that my guitar is plugged in. In the past, I've just relied on my vocal mic to pick up on the guitar as well. My Martin is not an acoustic/electric and it's my favorite guitar so I guess I've always sacrificed quality for preference. On this track, I used my Larivee and plugged it in. I think it added a lot in terms of quality. I hope this song hasn't turned into a cliche. Either way, I like it and decided to record it. Let me know what you think, please.

WOW. Your covers are incredible. Do you have any originals? If so, I'd love to hear 'em. You are the real deal my man.

Just out of curiosity, how old are you?

Awesome as always. Is it just me or was the chord after "Babylon" in the chorus off timing-wise?

Probably right. It's been a long time I listened to the original. I probably should have given it a listen a few times before recording.

Thanks for the comments guys.

Where you from exactly? Anywhere near Toledo?

Brian, again, awesome job on this one. Like I said in the Boulevard thread, you have a really cool voice. I think you pull off this song very well. I would love to hear you cover Sail Away or Please Forgive Me.

I've always digged your voice man. sounds like you should have been singing beside james taylor or something. folky stuff ya know?

I think you may have missed a note or two, but that's picky, 99/100ths of it was awesome. Great job.

I hate this song and it always gets stuck in my head, but you as always did a great job.
