    Beautiful and sad. Very handsome man - could be in movies or perhaps he was. Pandemic is allowing me time to find beautiful music. More music needed now in our uncertain times. There is LIGHT - elderly in Ireland always said so and they lived through real hard times.

    Ronnie had a beautiful voice. Sure, deep and rough, but also melodious to carry a ballad like this. And I love Barney on the banjo here. His playing never claimed the spotlight, yet it would not be the same without.
