awesome .... thanx
That is just beautiful. It almost lifts my spirits which are in a deep funk over recent SCOTUS shenninigans.
Glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks for posting this, it’s great.
BUMP! and bookmark
You’re welcome.
I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Many years ago, my band opened for Lee. Good guy!
The look on Mr. Greenwood’s face when speaking to the Chorus leader, just prior to beginning the song, is priceless.
It was a very good rendition of the song. I think of Ronaldus Maximus every time I hear the song. It gave me goose bumps.
