Friday Art - a great recording

Here is a great recording I managed to get of my father in law, Bob Rankin, doing a classic Buddy Holly tune It Doesn't Matter Anymore (written by Paul Anka).  Having recently heard a recording by Serena Ryder, Bob said that it opened him to the possibility of hearing the tune done differently.  Here is what came out when he sat down to sing through it.  

I think that slowing it down and hearing it in such a stripped version helps to bring out the heartbreaking story that is actually communicated in the lyrics.
