I came across your video on accident and was enthralled with your performance. You have a way of melting a woman's heart just by the sound of your voice. I have no doubts that you will be famous some day. You are An amazingly talented man. I personally loved the mistake... It brought out that charming boyish grin that made me love it even more. You have a fan in me and I look forward to listening to many more!

[paulbegley34]

Great Job Steve!! This video of this song is the best cover on you tube right there next to James Dupree.....I am beleive you are the best singer out there on cover songs of Garth .......

[sheriff923]

@paulbegley34 Those are really strong words there Mr. Paul. I think this is one of the best compliments I have ever recieved. Thank you man!!!! That mean a lot to me.

[jewlebaby101]

[brandon615962]

Sorry lol.. I think I posted the comment a few too many times. Anyway, I hope you get the picture lol..

[rhythmrancher]

dude, you killed on it, major props!!!

[brandon615962]

Man I've watched all of your videos and you're awesome. I really enjoyed your original song " DOZEN ROSES" the most. Don't get me wrong, they're all great but I write my own lyrics and really enjoy seeing others do so as well. You're really amazing!! You should retire from the sheriffs office and go on tour. I hope to see your cd's in stores someday soon. Please try doing a song called " THE OLD MAN NO ONE LOVES" by George Jones. That would be my one request if one were granted.

[sheriff923]

@brandon615962 Lol..Thanks Brandon! I wish I could retire form the Sheriff's Office and do this for a living. That has always been my dream. I'll look into that song you want. I just might do it if I get time to learn it. Thanks man!

[nattysdaddy1]

Wonderful!!! Know that when someone tries to act smart and criticize this is as good as anyone whose famous!

thank-you Steve...real treat listening to u...FGM

[nfd2019]

Great Job Steve. You do a great job. Thanks for sharing. I like how you jumped in at the end and admitted the mess up. I have a group of friends that are in a local band. When they are out playing, they do the same. It's makes them who they are. When they mess up they laugh and go on, making it known. Instead of trying to cover it. They have fun doing it.

[sunburnedbuns]

Wow! your great. Keep up the good work!

Andrea

[prairielily25]

Very well done! Get out there... make a CD, I'll buy it! You're great!
