Very beautiful rendition.

It tends to sound closer to the Glen Campbell version that Gord's original recording to me. He pulls out those notes that I can only envy and his guitar work is gentle and sweet. It was an honor for me to sit and play along with him albeit in my living room beside the computer.

That particular song always made me drop whatever I was doing and move in the direction of the speaker. It's just such a "full bodied" piece of work and demonstrates the genius of Gordon Lightfoot and how he can write music that will find it's way into the category of the works of great composers.
