Sounds good to me the way that it is. I had trouble hearing all the words, even with the volume turned up all the way but even then, I liked the song. I was trying to figure out what the melody sounded like and then I realized that there are sections that you could probably sing Candy Man to without a lot of changes. That's good, as far as I'm concerned. If you can't hear where a song came from, then it ain't folk.

Nice guitar work, too.

No apologies needed.
