In memory of the late, great David Lindley, I'll paste this bit in from the Wikipedia article:

Love hearing of your adventures in other genres, and I appreciate the detailed mix information! smile


Thanks David. That is a great alternative ending. Poor Willie!

Lindley was great indeed.

We appreciate your mention of the mix info and we like reading yours also.

Glad it worked for you!

While I never had the pleasure of hearing the original, I would say that you must be satisfied with this fine production! Janice's voice was made for this tune and delivers it with precision and a rich emotive quality! Loved the guitar work! It's an extremely good production that will surely garner many, many listens!

Thanks, TB


We appreciate the kind remarks Torrey. Having listened to scores of bluegrass versions and performed it as such it was quite an adventure attempting this.

Thanks!
