Lydia (my wife) won a 5 CD player by identifying her voice in a radio contest a number of years ago ... Edit: BTW ... Oscar Brown Jr.'s version is the GOLD STANDARD for this tune IMHO ...

For this partictular tune, it's all about the lyrics and message, not so much the 'jazz styling'. I think that the message is much cleaner and clearer in Oscar's version. JMO. I like both artists but not really crazy about her version. Love the group behind her, though. chas _________________________ "Faith means not wanting to know what is true." [Nietzsche]

Of the two links, I'll take Oscar's version. Gary _________________________ PSR-S950, TC Helicon Harmony-M, Digitech VR, Samson Q7, Sennheiser E855, Custom Console, and lots of other silly stuff!

That's a song I'd like to record with Chas some day. Russ Russ and chas ... I've got a GREAT idea ... no doubt you both have recording gear ... why not have one of you record a tune, send it to the other and then the second guy records a second (or third or fourth - whatever) track and then you post it for us to hear ... I KNOW it's not going to be the same as doing it together live, so you could play off each other, but I KNOW it would still be GREAT !!! PLEASE?!?!? _________________________ t.

captain Russ Senior Member Registered: 01/02/04 Posts: 7310 Loc: Lexington, Ky, USA	Actually, I am scheduled to be in Atlanta before the end of March. If he'll put up with me, I'd like to get with Chas and do several songs, including "Work Song", maybe Kenny Rankin's "Hiding Inside Myself" and a couple Chas chooses. If we get to do that, it would be one of the most enjoyable times of my life. R.

captain Russ Senior Member Registered: 01/02/04 Posts: 7310 Loc: Lexington, Ky, USA	Diki, I'd like your opinion of the post. Send it by email, if you don't want to include it here. Don't hold back. I know the effects of my physical limitations. These folks have been incredibly kind...too kind. Be assured, I will value your assessment, good or bad. Nigel is another person...a fellow "picker", that I would be interested in hearing from. Thanks, everyone! Russ
