I just cannot understand why Simon is posting his tunes that are included on English International.I was surprised when the first one appeared and now the second one. Well at least you have a sample of two of the tracks on the collection.

Maybe a comment on YouTube would point people in the direction of English International.
A great performance by Simon but not the melody of 'My love is like a Red Red Rose' as I, and I guess some others have always known it ? Where does my confusion arise from ?
If you read the info attached, you'll see that he is not actually trying to play the original melody.

Simon plays his own composition based on Robert Burns's famous song.
It feels to me like a Jazz interpretation &/or variation on the original melody.
I must say that I do like it.
