Did It Happen

What version do you prefer?

I actually prefer the arrangement on Alternate Monro. There's just something raw and gritty about it which I can relate to.

I also have the other version. Bought it on iTunes from the Through The Years CD?

Both are great just wondered what one you lot preferred.

Take care,
Alex.

I agree with you Alex. I have always liked the song, like yourself I first heard it on Through The Years. The version on The Alternate Monro is quite different, I love it. :)

I like how they are so different. I love both, but it sounds like he's straining for some of the low notes on the Alternate version. But this adds something to this version. But I prefer the other version, the later recording, on Through the Years.

I don't get what you mean by straining? Sounds great to me :D

It sounds like he's having trouble hitting the low notes. They aren't as clear as the other version or Hava Nagila, where he hits a real low note.
