Just back from a lovely two week holiday in Cornwall and Gene sent me the finished version while i was away....another excellent backer by gene ...hope you enjoy our take on a Stevie wonder classic ......

Hey James ... another great track ...sounds progressive ...thank you for your feedback on my song! ...It's so hard to get your music out there ...

Pretty cool ...better voice than Hendrix and Dylan ....great guitar also
Ahh Yes.
Good one James, more nerve than me, and a damn better player.
One of my favourite songs, nice one!

James, why so many versions? I'm not complaining; they're all very good listening.
Another fine version lol!
