Guenter,

This ...
is...
AWESOME!!!

I love the fact that you played the accordion! It's PERFECT in this application... different than the usual cliches, and so continental!

It's interesting to note how a melody can be changed so dramatically by a change in the backing song... I like both versions, but I am personally attracted more to yours. Maybe the jazzier accompaniment speaks to me more as a baby boomer than the club beat of Amy's original song (a style I like quite a bit, but with which I do not personally identify)

It was very classy of Amy to add her favorable comment to your song! It makes me like her even more! My only cringe-worthy moment in her original video is at the :40 marker when she took BOTH HANDS off the steering wheel! (I wonder how many people do that as they sing along with the radio!!)

The contest specifically said not to post remixes until the contest ends... I guess you would have told us if you had won... (bummer! I think you should have won!) But at least she was very diligent to offer praise for your work that goes WAYYyy above a superficial gesture... especially when I'd imagine that MOST of these people don't bother to offer feedback at all.

Thanks for introducing us to yet another amazing new talent! I like her!

PS: Its interesting the way her original version starts after your remix ends. They flow together so logically that I had to go back & make sure your version wasn't still playing
