I DREAMED I HUGGED JACK HARDY
I dreamed I met Jack Hardy.
He was bold but had sensitive hands
With a voice that was tempered by New York City
In his eyes I saw many lands

Tracy posted a message which said, "If I could write a song about the way I feel right now, it would be a hit." So I grabbed my guitar and came up with this...

Honestly, James - I like this version MUCH more than the country-pop version with the female singer.She is a good singer, but that other version did not really touch me like this one does.
Your voice (although too loud again ;) :P ) plays an important role in the originality and tenderness of your songs. To me it is the most important part.

Steffen
