This is great!! Absolutely perfect Shantel! Thank you again! -petunia | 2/22/2004 | Thank you! I've been looking for this on CD and can't find it anywhere. I wanted to play it for my mother...the song on CD. But now I can play it for her myself which will have so much more meaning and emotion. I can't wait to see her expression. Thank you again. -sgclaxton | 3/6/2004 | what a brilliant song billy joe has got to be in the top 5 singer songwriters of all time!! -dwh1587 | 9/24/2004 | Thanks, this is great!
