Well, Warren...what can I say?  I was one of those privileged to have  heard 
it 'before'...and already told you I really liked your version.  You  nailed 
the one part you'd previously had a wee bit of difficulty with...we'd  played 
this together at my house (me on chromatic of course)....and how you  managed 
to get it from there to here in such a short time is simply  astonishing.  
 
One thing we've always said (anyone who talks about you behind your back  ;)  
 ...is that you're an amazingly 'sweet' player, quite catching  people by 
surprise, when one maybe expects something different from such a big  guy with a 
doo rag.  Perhaps that's what your friend meant, just  phrased it badly?  
 
You also played Misty at that last Open Mic right before the Spah meeting  
Sat. afternoon....(and right after I'd shook in my shoes playing onstage for the 
 second time ever).  You sounded great then too. Sure calmed ME down,  
hearing you play this gorgeous song with no backup; people getting set up  for the 
meeting, talking..didn't matter.  You just went up and played  it cold (and the 
audience cheered and applauded how beautifully  it was played on diatonic, 
knowing what they were hearing).  
 
 SmoJoe's correct..Phil's review is stellar....you played it as it  'should' 
be played: clean, jazzy, sweet and emotional.  5 stars from me  :)
 
Elizabeth
P.S.  Yay for the 'standards'....maybe we can practice a couple  more of 
those together...and double Yay...for your new 'musical territory' which  is mine 
too...

I recently recorded a version of Misty with a guitar  friend of mine. I have
shared it with a few of you folks but now I have  finally posted it online
via my cheapo-do-it-your-self website. This is my  first stab at doing a
standard. One of our friends whose name I will not  disclose critiqued the
piece by saying "it was a little white" I must admit I  understood what he
meant right away and surely didn't take any offense. I  much prefer honest
critique over faint praise. Rome wasn't built in a day and  I won't
transition into new musical territory in short time either.
