Thank you for your very kind responses. I'm glad to hear that so many people are enjoying the recording.

It started off as a one-time thing, but once I played it at a show people kept asking to hear it again, so now I play it fairly regularly. The audience reactions have been good from the start. Even non-Browncoats like the song.

I know of at least a few people who have watched the DVDs as a result of hearing Ballad of Serenity at a show, because they have spoken to me about it afterwards. Hopefully there are more out there...

I play guitar (for pleasure). Lately I've become quite fond of simplified tunes... voice and acoustic guitar. If the song is strong, it shines in such a bare setting. Serenity is a strong song. I thought your cover was perfect. Thank you for sharing!

And for the tab, too... Serenity is on my long list of songs to learn. Maybe its time I started.

I take the point but I think the Ballad appeals to each of us in different ways.

a possible lack of energy doesn't mean lack of feeling, yes? He's just displaying it in a way that suits him, doesn't have to work for everyone.

Personally, I agree with Thundar, I like it a bit more rousing but there is perhaps more emotional range in Slinger's version.

Stay shiny...

If you liked that, you should really check out the PJ Shapiro CD, I Know What You're Made Of. You can order it from CDBaby.

I have a copy and it is one of the best CD's in my collection. It gets played over and over. Support your fellow browncoats, ya know?
