I dunno.

I thought the KGSR version had way too much electric guitar at the end. It kinda
spoiled the ending for me. I usually like what Doug does but it was too much.

I agree with you Hugues, I think the Impossible Dream version is the best as far
as orchestration goes. Not over the top. Lisa Germano's violin just underlines
the melody.

If you ask me, I'll just take the Austin City Limits version over any other...
Just Patty accoustic solo... but the ID version sure beats the crap out of the
Silver Bell version! Talk about overdoing it!
