I'll check out the youtube new song of yours Tim.

Yes "Dr." Jan Van Sickle (as he now reminds me with myrth) is a very animated player of the piano - by that I mean he plays keys almost "hard" - vigorously - and rocks his upper body as he adds emphasis to a bar, and bobs his head to music strongly enough to make his hair fall forward over his face...lol i hope he does not read this...... its pretty funny. but he is da**
good. Interesting note - he refuses tips in the Brown Palace - says its his necessary outlet - and "he should have to pay them" lol......only time you'll see croc dundee/icabod in a jacket and tie lol

On-thread - Cathy (Cowette) : have you played this song remember me ? or any other corfidites? It sounds like, as I believe Gord has commented in the "booklet" - a cross between ( i think) Jim Reeves and Pat Boone - not bad company - but certainly not the style he wound up refining - which sounds like Waronker and Grossman(?)- had much to do with, ppl agree ?

I actually like the song.....and the GL performace of it.... would be interesting to hear him sing it A in 76 GG1era of remakes , and B - now. Play all3 back to back - would be a "trip" though time, I'd say. Think ?
