Romeo & Juliet Dire Straits on a hill with a Uke and a Blues Harp ( cover )

[@magic5596]

Brother, you “nailed” it. Covers usually suck, but you gave it something new and part of yourself. Playing a uke on the side of a hill with the setting sun glowing right on the edge. Good job. Touches the heart…
