Aside from his 'legendary' guitar emulations, I think he really captured the essence of this beautiful tune. Not only were the arrangements tasteful but (most importantly to ME) neither one had that classic 'arranger' sound. I think that's because of the tasteful playing over and around the base arrangement. I may have slightly preferred the first one but both were excellent. If, for whatever reason, you need to use an arranger, this is how you should do it. JMO. chas _________________________ "Faith means not wanting to know what is true." [Nietzsche]

I just listen and absorb....maybe sometime you can conjure up a Hammond Organ version of some kind also?..

cgiles Senior Member Registered: 09/29/05 Posts: 6703 Loc: Roswell,GA/USA	I'd love to Donny but I'd like to do mine with my guitarist (and maybe my tenor sax player). I'll give them a heads-up and see if we can do it (record) at next rehearsal. chas _________________________ "Faith means not wanting to know what is true." [Nietzsche]

I'd better go record something else while I have that tear in my voice! Seriously, thank you for saying such nice things. I need to go listen to them because I don't remember which is which. _________________________ DonM

DonM Senior Member Registered: 06/25/99 Posts: 16735 Loc: Benton, LA, USA	I enjoyed both Gary's and Donnie's versions. They both played the "signature" lick, where I must have forgotten about it. It's a great song and it is fun to hear the different renditions of it! _________________________ DonM
