Hey Bob and Dennis,

You probably must think I'm rude, but somehow I've overlooked this version of Dennis's song. My apologies.

I said on the other thread, that a real song is something that can be done in very diferent styles and genres, and this is one of them.

The songwrititing is, to me anyway, honest and straight fowarad. It doesn't pretend, and it doen't try to be something which it is not.

If anyone can write from a deep sense of personal experience, and also bring it across in a mannaer which is not flippant, then I think you've got the real deal.

Both versions are moving, and hopefully some one else willl have yet another take on the origional song. That is something which makes a song a real song. Good luck with it you guys.

cheers, niteshift
