Comment: I am not sure how well this song
works with solo guitar/singer combo. The
version on the album w vocal and piano is
great, though. If anybody figures out a
better arrangement for guitar please
let me know. I am more of a strummer than a picker, but I think a good
guitarist could turn this into a great arrangement. thanks, m.
