Memories, redux

This is a post that will get an update as soon as the version that inspired me is posted to YouTube.

              And here it is Jesse Campbell on The Voice. (updated February 7, 2012)



I'm watching The Voice and Jesse Campbell, a young, inspiring artist has performed a remarkable rendition of the Leon Russell classic, "A Song for You."



In my haste to post on Sunday evening, I compared Mr. Campbell's song to a different artist and song. My bad. Funny, I kept listening to the other song, which will now remain nameless, wondering, why doesn't it sound right? And as I was singing the correct song in the shower this morning, I realized my mistake.

I'd like to think I sounded sort of like Willie Nelson. I definitely didn't sound like Christina Aguilera who, by the way, I did not even realize had recorded the song.

Great song. Great artists; but Mr. Campbell, you have my vote on The Voice. Good luck to you.

And friends, really now, it's your job to keep me straight here when I go astray.
