Glen Hansard heard and liked my cover of “High Hope”

I covered a Glen Hansard (Swell Season) song, posted the link on Twitter, and Glen Hansard heard it… liked it, and responded.  I guess he liked it enough to tweet about it twice.  Glen Hansard is an Academy Award winner, is the lead singer of the popular Irish band The Frames, and currently the lead singer of The Swell Season. Glen Hansard is the star of the motion picture ONCE. Very big day for me.

    Have you done a Low Rising cover for their competition?
    See the Swell Season’s MySpace page for details. Lots of people are putting their versions of Low Rising on Youtube. It’s cool to see the different interpretations.
    Anyway, kudos again and I hope you try Low Rising too.
