Quite simply put Mark, you are a genius. I like this better than the original. The acoustic guitar work is superlative and the sterling vocals do not hurt either. :) Thanks for sharing this. Wow.

:shock:
I've been screaming that same statement from my padded cell for years now, but do you think the nurses ever listen??

:lol: You're killin' me, Peter. Thank you!. -Mark

Well, I don't, but I'm really amazed and happy to know you both think that. Blows me away. Thanks Jim!

This is probably my favorite lyric too...half-impenetrable and half obvious, and the meaning changes with the times. Paul Simon really is a genius where songwriting is concerned. I'm painting by numbers...but glad to hear I've apparently stayed within the lines.

Thanks again!

Mark: I have listened to this twice more and I would add that I sold you short on my first review. Truly outstanding.

You also have an excellent voice- it has a very "George Harrison" timbre to it- do you do any GH songs???

Lyle, flawless work. You've posted some great pieces on here, but this by far is at the very top!

Eeeeeeeeeeek! :shock:

:lol:

All I can say is I'm blown away by these responses. I really never know what's going to fly or fall, and I guess this one works.

Thanks so much! :oops: Now watch the next one suck wind.

WOW! Yeah, better than the original!
If the next one is only half as good it'll still be fantastic!
