Scott,
I've sent you stuff via YouSendIt.

I have to agree totally with Folderol.
This is a superb vocal. 
I have to say here that I have always been one to make covers 'in one's own style' as opposed to 'strict copying' of the original.  Just my opinion and will probably suffer for it sometime   (but we are all friends here)

I like it!

Lennon had his moments, certainly, but I find his voice nasal and under-inflected. You fixed that very nicely in your rendition... Schweet!

A BIG +1

I really like this 

Plus in one take - WOW

Thank you so much Mario for your comments!

James and I are hard at work doing our "in-our-own style" version.  It really sounds fantastic and should be done soon.

Ouch! What a beautiful voice, as everybody noticed here. I like its texture.
You are very lucky  If I was singing myself I think that I would have a great success with... Ducks 
Thanks for the jewel!

I know, I know .... it's been a while ... but here we are, at last.

The basic ethic behind this version was because of the fact that Scott's voice is not at all similar to JL's.
For this reason I thought that a complete overhaul of the song would help.
Apologies to any Lennon purists out there.

We stripped the whole thing back, got away from the traditional piano/drums thing, and went with simple guitar/bass accompaniment.
After several versions and mixes .... this is it 

What a fabulous voice

Thank you James for everything.  It was an honor working with you on it.  My humble vocal pales by comparison to your wonderful guitar work.

Just so everyone knows, James did most of the work on this.    I sang a little and then played armchair quarterback while James slaved away trying to mix the thing.

Thanks again.  I really think this sounds awesome.

[folderol]

Absolutely stunning
Well done both of you.

I think it's fair to say,that Scott's vocal performance & work(2nd part harmonies & all),far exceeds the status of humble. It is my opinion,that mixing a single guitar track,along with two,very well laid out vocals tracks is not all that much bother.

I'm just simply making a point that one should not short-change one's self,as both James & Scott did their parts well,in working to make this version what it is and it's not so much about measuring who did what exactly,but how important each contributor is to the end result.


Anyhow,bravo,gentlemen!

A virtuoso performance ... in a way, several virtuoso "performances" - from the arranger, the singer, the guitarist, and the producer.
Outrageous collaboration, gentlemen...

I already liked a lot the first version, but this one is just fabulous. Well done gentlemen.
