Guenter,
Going against the grain, I guess... I like Lollie 1 over Avanna's version. Lollie has a "brighter, fresher, younger" feel to it that fits the song nicely. Avanna sounds "more mature, laid-back-jazzier". After hearing Lollie, Avanna seemed "a bit too comfortable".
A wonderful listening experience.
I can add no more to what floyd has said.
Both versions are beautiful but I too lean towards Lollie's version.
I then wondered what they would sound like together in one tune!
I do hope you have another inventive and productive year!
Alyn
