dan wrote a gem of a song that i immediatly loved and asked for permission to cover,comment if you like. www.soundclick.com/goodtillersong for maria by dan sullivan c 2011 (adapted and performed by david michael kissinger) song for maria there's a howl'n wind there's a storm outside there's a knock'n at the door please let me in a voice does cry from a far of foreign shore i hear the small voice of a child and he's knock'n on the door please let me in the poor boy cries but no one opens the door chorus: won't you spare his life sweet Jesus but if that's not your plan for him he'll be knock'n on heavens door tonight won't you please let him in in a barrio in a border town eighty passingers were squeezed into the back of a tractor trailor along with maria ruiz well the border patrol saved most of them but there among the deceased they found maria with her fingers still clutching her rosary beads won't you hear her prayers sweet Jesus for she's left this world of sin she'll be knock'n on heavens door tonight won't you please let her in break: won't you hear they're prayers sweet Jesus cry'n to be let in there's a howl'n wind there's a storm outside here in this world of sin won't you hear they're prayer's sweet Jesus cry'n to be let in there's a howl'n wind there's a storm outside won't you let them in

Dave, What a beautiful adaptation! I think I now know how Kristofferson must have felt when he first heard one of his demos covered by a major artist.
You really give this the tex-mex feel it was meant to have with that lovely guitar picking. You've done right on this song. Thanks for bringing the song to life!

Your voice really fits the tune. I'm hearing a few hiccups at the beginning instrumental part---timing issues--minor but noticeable to this guitarist's ears.
Nice work man.

You did a nice job on that, Dave. I agree with Dan - the guitar part is beautifully arranged. I liked the instrumental section too. Nice work!

This is a nice arrangement -- the guitars and vocals sound pretty good to me. .. and Dan always writes great lyrics. The drum part is a little "different" -- I would rethink that.
Good stuff. I think I remember Dan's version, too (if there was one -- ha, ha).
