Ok, this is a bit odd...
I have never liked journey and I always particularly disliked the song open arms, but I heard it on the radio the other day and had an idea...bluegrass...
Well, I am incapable of playing bluegrass, so I just sort of tried to go in that general direction. I got the chords and lyrics off the net and did this in about an hour or two in the garage. I changed the melody a bit in places and added some harmonies to try for sort of an appalachian sound.
I realize the recording quality is nothing special (no reverb or eq yet), but I am wondering what folks think about it conceptually at least. What, if anything, could I or should I do to this to improve upon what I have?
If any of you heard or remember my version of the go-go's vacation from a few months ago, this is sort of in that same vein.

Thanks in advance for any advice, comments, etc.
