That is very kind! (Sorry ... I thought I had already thanked you!)

Another song that I hadn't even considered. Great delivery, thanks!

[@limousinlil]

Thank YOU, sir!

[@pabrizzer]

Loved the sign at the end. Fun stuff!

[@limousinlil]

Many thanks, Brian ... the sign was for the hard of hearing!

Good song and an authentic-sounding delivery. The proof that Internet breakdown doesn't hinder a determined Seasonista!

[@limousinlil]

Well, thank you indeed!

[@kayliewalkergirl8147]

That was really good you're a great singer wish I could sing that good

[@limousinlil]

That's very kind of you, Carl ... thank you!

Glad you made it through your internet troubles - neat outfit, especially your ribbons. :D

[@limousinlil]

Internet woes not over yet - the car is currently backed up to my wifi connection - i.e. the door of the local library, it is pouring with rain and I am expecting to be told off for illegal parking at any moment. (And thanks for the kind words!)

Lil, I'm sorry to hear about your internet troubles - but this was great! First of all, you've got THE perfect outfit for the WEEK - let alone the song! And you did a MIGHTY FINE
(trying to sound Texan here! LOL!) cover of this terrific song (which I now realize I haven't heard in FAR too long!) Terrific cover!

[@limousinlil]

Very many thanks, Linda! (Yes, being without the Internet is like having my right arm cut off ... well, the left one, too, come to that. Hopefully, we should have a new head for the dish installed early next week and then life can return to normal - isn't it crazy how much we rely on these things?)

That was quite the introduction to this fantastic song and run through. Love the outfit too :) Your dod is a little easier to hear this time. Did you do anything or is it that I have an actual moment alone and can hear? Nice one Val :)

[@limousinlil]

Thanks so much, Linda! (Yes, I actually managed to clip the lapel mike on to myself and I think it helped a bit - it only has a very short lead, though, so it's difficult not to throttle yourself!)

[@tippytoetoli]

Nothin' wrong with this (: Great. Internet woes, I know them well.

[@limousinlil]

Many thanks, Janet! (Ah, yes, the Internet .... who needs it??? - I DO!!!)
