It flowed much better than the second song choice. <br />Ironically enough, I was unfamiliar this was a Cat Stevens song and I like a lot of his music. I'm more familiar with Sheryl Crow. I absolutely love her music and went to listen to her perform the song first before I went on to listen to the two you supplied. To be fair, I also listened to the Cat Stevens version also.Jeffrey Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06973104877310669196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7436812892124383603.post-87661924389401860382015-10-05T14:34:18.330-04:002015-10-05T14:34:18.330-04:00Nice harmonies and girls who were more pkleasant t...Nice harmonies and girls who were more pkleasant to look at on the first one.

Its hard to do well to just a string guitar, and she did excellent, and the harmony of the other girls just made up for the lack of a band.
