AlanR: I don't recall this song, but your cover of it here is incredible Ron, I don't hear shaky at all? I hear you sing this with feeling and emotion, which only adds to the beauty of this song, I can't see why you would hold on posting this, as it is exceptional, I very much loved my listen. :-)

Ron Ballad: @love Thanks Linda, that’s very kind of you to say. I don’t usually sing anything with a country flavour for obvious reasons that I have zero country twang, but I’m happy to give it a touch of folk!

Ron Ballad: @markstunes Thanks! You know my musical influences well, so I suppose a little James Taylor was bound to sneak in somewhere, even though it wasn't intentional. Delighted you enjoyed the listen Mark.

Ron Ballad: @dondelray Hi Don, this probably was originally a country song, so I wish I had a touch of your voice for it!

Ron Ballad: @joyced Thanks so much, Joyce. As I mentioned to Mark, you also know my musical influences well, so it is probably not surprising that you heard a bit of James Taylor and Dan Seals in there. I am genuinely delighted you enjoyed it, and your kind words mean a great deal to me.

Ron Ballad: @alanr Thanks so much, Alan. I really appreciate your kind words. Knowing how much you enjoyed it means a great deal to me. I probably imagined the shakiness. We are usually our own worst critics and tend to hear every little flaw that no one else notices! By the way, how is Lea Anne? We have not heard her lately and hope she is keeping well. Please give her our warm regards, and our very best wishes to both of you.

Ron Ballad: @jerry Thanks so much, Jerry. A second listen? Now that is the kind of review every singer hopes for! I am truly delighted that the song and its lyrics resonated with you. Your encouragement, especially coming from you, means a great deal to me.
