Once in a While (words and music RC Sterling) is a melancholy pop ballad written during the winter.  The original version feature my wretched, autotuned vocals.  This version is much more in keeping with my vision for this wistful tune.  Written in an open tuning, it is deceptively simple. Thanks for stopping by to have a listen as I engage in the rearrangement project.  If you like what you hear, please don't hesitate to share with others!!!  Cheers
