Get Down Tonight (cover)

[Northeagle66]

This is a great cover. Good job.

[03thutch]

could you tell me which chords you playing? i'd love to do a piano cover of this song :D

Excellent cover by the way :)

[necron2006]

Jimmy! That's awesome! Best thing i've ever hear.

[semmicico]

Brilliant !!! can't believe, sooo goood!

[jimmymac30]

@semmicico thanks semmicico

[KAEJRO]

dude nice!!!! the instrument soloing throughout the original... is that Guitar or something else???

[SplitPZ]

OMG!!!! BRILLIANT! Unplugged, up close and personal with Jimmy Mac! My Friday night never felt so good. YOU RAWK!!!!

[jimmymac30]

Thank you Peazy, you are a real sweetheart, and damn fine artist to boot!

[iriewaregl]

KC and the Sunshine Band unplugged -- amazing!!! When I saw that song on your channel I thought -- what?? But, you pull it off so well -- you made it your song! 5*****

[jimmymac30]

Thank you Mike!! There is no better compliment one can give a cover singer.

[iriewaregl]

Now when can we expect to hear "shake, shake, shake .... shake, shake, shake ... shake your booty, shake your booty?' The deeply complex & introspective lyrics of that song have long been sources of inspiration and intellectual stimulation for me :) -- almost as much as their tune -- "let's go, you know, let's party, let's go get down ..." :)

[jimmymac30]

LOL! I'm not sure. The beauty of the lyric in "Shake Your Booty" is so eloquent and touching, it's difficult for me to get through the song without choking up a little, you know what I mean? The same thing happens to me when I listen to Nessun Dorma from Turandot, and I don't even understand the words to that one!

[zacandtaylorrule]

Great cover Jimmy. Don't know how I did not see this before.

[jimmymac30]

Hi Scott! Thanks very much my good friend. I'm grateful all your constant support and kindness.

[YouMakeMeFeelSeaSick]

you are so cool!!

thanks for the chords too :)

[jimmymac30]

thank YOU for the great comment, much appreciated!

[liloninja]

(Damn youtube, error first time I posted the comment, trying again)

Well, this is the first video I seeing from you, and what a good impression, such a different song to do in acoustic, I LOVE IT! And congratulations to answering what chords you use! Very nice!

If you permit me make a suggest, try to do "Keep It Coming In Love" From KC, a very nice song with a very few material in youtube! That would be great for sure!

Subscribed! Now I´m gonna see more videos of you!

See ya!

[jimmymac30]

Hey thanks liloninja! I appreciate your very excellent comment and suggestion very much.Thanks!! Will check out your channel for sure!

[scfatboy01]

[jimmymac30]

Hey Kevin, love that Cumberland Falls backdrop. Hope you have a Merry Christmas. Thanks for stoppin' by. Jimmy

[cefdad]

KC and the Sunshine Band and it is good.

Did your wife jump your bones after that stirring redition of a disco classic or did she just look at you and shake her head? (LOL)... Which ever it was you are "one of a kind" my man. Merry Christmas from the Southern states.

[jimmymac30]

Hey Brian, her response was definitely in the "oh no" end of the spectrum. After 24 years of listening to me play, I can't really blame her.

Merry Christmas from the Keystone State.

[cefdad]

Yep! I am sure it has no bearing to the overall quality of the performance - but that is what I figured. Peace!

[allshookup77]

That was a terrific acoustic rendition of that disco hit Jimmy! It really worked! I liked it a whole lot, well done! ... FrAnK (5*****)

[jimmymac30]

Thank you so much FrAnK! Wishing you and your family a blessed Christmas! Jim

[jimmymac30]

Tiffany thank you so much, you know I feel the same way about you! Jimmymac

[amyurban]

I loathe disco with a passion, but man oh man, THIS sounds good. Thank you for doing this. You are very talented.

[jimmymac30]

Hi Anita, thanks for stopping by and leaving an awesome comment. Jimmy

[eamorgan123]

This is very good accoustic sounds great also the singer.Thank you Bflatblues55 for posting.Elizabeth.x

[jimmymac30]

Thank you very much Elizabeth. Jimmy

[stewballmax2]

Say

Jim...

This old flowerchild never enjoyed Disco...point of fact,I loathed it with a passion. However,your BEAUTIFULLY stripped-down acoustic rendering here combinned with your passion-driven vocals and overall exciting presentation has gotten me ENTHUSED to the ceiling. Man alive!...if Disco were like your AWASOME showcase here...I just might have appreciated it. One of your finest gifts to us and certainly a musical blessing of a floorshow if ever there was one!

Peace,

Max

[jimmymac30]

Hi Max, thanks for the great comment! I never really liked listening to disco either, but it's always been fun to play. Strange huh? Jimmy

[christopherinsc1981]

[bios36]

Just perfect! Jimmy You have a great quality that many musicians envy, you´re able to transmit feelings and they are surely comin´in loud and clear!

Rick

[jimmymac30]

Rick, that's probably the best compliment I ever got. Thank you!!

[Bflatblues55]

Oh yeah... there's my soul man! I sure hear some snap in that voice, some oomph... I do believe you could take chopsticks and turn it into a soulful hunk of funk.

You are THE one to watch. Just remember the little people you met on your way up. *wink n nudge*

[jimmymac30]

Carol, I really don't think I'm goin' anywhere, but THANKS! lol

Seriously, I appreciate the great comment. BTW, I sent you a reply, but the message read "oops unable to contact server" so I hope you got it.

Jimbo

[jimmymac30]

Hi Dennis, I thank you most sincerely, and would like to wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas as well. Jimmy

[davidholness]

[Hyppy4life]

Where's the polyester? Never thought it was possible to do disco on a acoustic guitar, it seems you have blown that theory outta the water....WTG jimbo, five big stars...5*'s

[jimmymac30]

Hey Tom! Thanks so much. Always great to hear from you my friend. Keep rockin' North Jersey my man! Jimbo

Thank YOU Roy, very nice of you to say!

[gerdenshed]

Great my friend, just great! 5*s from me :-)

Mark...

[jimmymac30]

Thanks, Mark. Much appreciated my friend. Jim

[bios36]

You are certainly getting better and better Jimmy I really mean what I say!

Rick

[jimmymac30]

Rick, you are the man. Thanks, buddy! Jimmy

[senilitysux66]

Grrr-reat, Jimmy! All it lacks is the double speed solo underlay on the intro. Harry and Rich wrote some good ones but I always thought the band finally got their first #1 largely because of that intro. Just my opinion of course.

Lo-ove your brave and EXTREMELY well done acoustic of my brother's fave song of the '70s.

Mattie

[jimmymac30]

Hi Mattie! Thank you for that very excellent comment. Next up "That's The Way (uh-huh-uh-huh)I Like It." Just kidding - discretion is sometimes the better part of valor! Jimmy

[mnnorthcountrygirl1]

What a fun song choice! You did a great acoustic version and put a big ol' smile on my face with this one. Thanks much.

[jimmymac30]

You are very welcome Sharon, and I hope you have a fun Christmas too! Jimbo

[jimmymac30]

Hey Lone Rider! Thanks, I did almost start dancin'! I'm thinking the wait will be 'til the New Year for that other thing. Jimbo

[moomay11649]

I love this song. Reminds me of when I was younger.

Like the in '70's when I was clubbin' with the guys.

[jimmymac30]

Hey Moomay! Great to hear from you! Did you and me ever go clubbin' down the shore? Remember The Oasis in Wildwood, or the Rock Room in Avalon?

[moomay11649]

SURE, I remember them. Remember Moore's Inlet in Wildwood?

Moo

Do you know Mick Mick?

[20iain20]

[0258jtj7]

An acoustic version of a disco song. OMG! Hee! Only with your talent could a fellow get by with this one!

[jimmymac30]

Hey 0258jtj7! Thanks buddy!

[ReyDLT1957]

Great! You don't usually think of doing an acoustic version of any disco (need that driving back beat). But you've pulled it off quite nicely. 5*****

Rey

[jimmymac30]

Hey Chicago Rey! Thanks! Jimmymac
