The Sound of Silence.. by Jim Morris

This is good Jim. By the way have you heard the version of this song by 'Disturbed'? They are a heavy metal band from America but don't let that put you off, I think it's the best version yet and you should listen until the end, I get goose pimples when I hear it. You can get it on YouTube, it's really worth listening to.

Gosh you are bringing some great songs to the fore with your artistic adaptations Jim. Margaret is right, Disturbed's version is fabulous, I have it as my mobile ring tone.

And if you want a third endorsement for that version by "Disturbed" you can get it from me - fair makes the hair stand up on the back of your neck. Look forward to the painting that arises from you hearing it.

I duly listened to that version and was impressed. That's something I'd never have dreamed possible with heavy metal, but it happened. Thanks Margaret, Fiona and Mike for the introducction. Lovely stuff.
