This is really beautiful. It moves me. You do John sweet justice, and that means so much to me -- I loved the man and can appreciate your part in keeping his music fresh, new, and alive.
I’m not only Gene Eric Mann on Alonetone, but also Justin Otter Guy, Merry Bear, and Nightmoth. I hadn’t noted before your compliment here regarding my version of Runaway. Thank you for that. But you did a great job with this number. That middle KB break is tricky and takes some agile, dexterous fingers to execute properly, and you pulled it of nicely.

Cool sounds mate.
As for I wish I could change the world, I think it is a Ten Years After original. It is a nice melody that's why I just had to cover it.
Cheers.
