Hi Brian,
I’ve loved the version of ‘I will’ that you played ever since I discovered it a few years ago. And all the time I thought it was a James Taylor song too!
Thanks to Coverville I now know that it’s his son Ben!
Isn’t it a great song?
Karin.
I have to say I prefer the Israel Kamakawiwo’ole version of Over The Rainbow, which he mixes with some verses of What A Wonderful World. Very minimal track, just the ukelele and his voice, but what a beautiful voice.
i used to have to dig a lot deeper to find the cool music that i hear on your show. thanks for for doing the dirty work & i’ll do what i can to keep you on the air.

Gotta say, my own favorite version of Over The Rainbow is by Me First And The Gimme Gimmes, though I like other songs they do even better. (e.g. Rainbow Connection, Phantom Of The Opera)
