Hey Kel, this sounds great . . . I like it! If I'm correct this listing has run a few times for the same show in the past few years. I've had forwads for this where I tried to do an exact remake and others where I did my own interpretation. BUT my interpretation still sounded like the same era, that's what I thought they were looking for. Call Taxi and ask! and then come back and let us know what they said because Dave Walton and I have a cool Bob Dylan cover that would be great if they will take things out of the era-

Thanks Billg..Too far for me to call but I've written to them.. fingers crossed for the requirements on this one.Will keep U updated yea..-K

Dude this is friggin COOL!!!!The listing says "pay homage" so I would think that an interpretation is ok.I love this!! SOunds really cool!Matt

Kel, if you don't hear anything from your email in day or so let me know I 'll give 'em a call-

Very cool, Kel. I like that you kept some of the lyric in there (shredded) and teased at first by not going to the chorus. I wonder if you can find a sting ending (no fade) that would do it justice.Vince

You are soo creative my man! Very, very cool...B
