LOL, we are pals, but this version, IMHO, is nowhere near my version, but we can

Mott the Hoople, another great band who didn't get the accolades they deserved.

but my favorite part is when they come out of the intro and Lou Reed steps up to the mic.

(65,874 posts)7. Song Was Important To Me
Sweet Jane is one of the first songs I ever learned on guitar. Just after I graduated college.
So, a couple years ago I just had to record my own version.
On the version you just heard, I'm playing & singing everything. But, under it all is the acoustic guitar part I learned 48 years ago.
By The Way: this is the first version I ever heard of this song.

I admire anyone who can play an instrument, whether it be guitar, drums, organ, etc.
