    I predict that this will be played at every Boomer funeral from now until there are no more Boomers.

    The harpist is talented and quite lovely, but she should get someone to work on the arrangement. Repetitive and lacking the emotional impact of the original.

    There's a critic in every crowd Edward.

    Do you have any idea how complicated the harp is to play?

    I adore the Trooper version! Perfectly melds the two styles, and the clothing was a nice touch. 8)

    "Zepplin" is how the kids used to spell it on the back of their spiral bound notebooks. C'mon, Neatorama!

    Now if I can borrow my Dad's time machine and bring back Harpo Marx. I would love to see his spin on all this. :^P

    Makes me inspired to say, "Go get me my mead young fair maiden!". Beautiful cover!

    Seriously? I'm working on my third album of this stuff; yeah - non- traditional rock/jazz harp, with vocals. No one on the internet has ever given a crap. I mean - this is what I do for a living, and I've been doing it 20 years.

    Check out my MP3's.

    Eh, I thought it was a neat cover, though a little stilted. Joanna Newsom kinda ruins me, though.
