Gary, Nice job, you keep on proving you don't need the latest to be the greatest.
Live playing and using every chord as written while singing, is way too difficult, for me, so I cheat whenever I can. Yes I'm lazy, but as Ian stated: "Most importantly, although Gary's chords weren't quite the same as the original, he didn't mess with the melody, and that came off really nice."
I am making a commitment to learn those really difficult chords, like learning a new chord a day...or maybe every other day, or once a week...

Bill, I hardly ever use full keyboard, and when I do, I never noticed the bass root. I'll have to give a better listen, so thanks for that tip.
