Nice version of Hey Jude, superb!

[tobi21PL]

Diese song is super und das beruhiget mir ;)

[MusicBlinded51]

@tobi21PL

Thank you Tobi, William.

[torridscene]

Great!! This takes me back. I have that Reader's Digest records collection of Pop Organ greats, and Harry Stoneham is all over the place on it. I'm a huge fan of poppy reworkings of classic Beatles and Rolling Stones songs! Where did the drums come from?

@torridscene

Hi,

I wrote it in the info of this recording.Best wishes, William.

@MusicBlinded51 Great song and video quality. Thank you for sharing. I only request that you add a colorful annotation somewhere on the video that says, "change this video to 720p and hear the difference in quality." or something like that. I know your message says to do so, but it would still help. Thank you so much for sharing. I just feel great listening to this song :D

@nathanieldurkin1

Hi Nathaniel,

thank you for your friendly comment and your hint. Just made a notice at my HD-videos.

Best wishes, William.

[nathanieldurkin1]

@MusicBlinded51 you're welcome William :) keep making great music so the younger generation knows what real music sounds like...can't take anymore of that robotic voice sound effects they are using that they think are original. I was watching this old movie from the 1940's that was set in the 1920's and it showed the invention of that same technique homemade and I was like, really?! That technique is almost 100 years old and these pop stars today think they are trendy? Give me the classics.

[ilonaploch]

SUPER  Sehr schonnnnnnnnnnn

[steverabb]

I'm really liking your sound. This upbeat version of a Beatles classic is great!

[MusicBlinded51]

@steverabb

Hi Steve, thank you so much!

Best wishes, William.

[toguiter9]

[MusicBlinded51]

@toguiter9

Hi, thank you for your comment, William.

[MusicBlinded51]

@toguiter9

Hi, thank you so much. Nice you like organ too, William.

[mmmce]

Gratuliere zu einer sehr persönlichen Creation. Da ich früher auch mal Hammond gespielt habe, weiß ich, dass es viel Übung kostet, damit es so locker und leicht aussieht wie bei dir!

[MusicBlinded51]

@mmmce

Danke dir! Ich übe ja gerne, - wenn ich die nötige freie Zeit habe.

Im Augenblick ist es wieder mal ein bisschen eng! Alles Gute, William.

[Orgelwahn]

Hey mein Freund... Sehr schön eingespielt... :-) Leider krieg ich den Sound auf meiner Elegante nie hin^^

Aber immer schön zu hören, was man aus der Orgel rausholen kann :-)

[MusicBlinded51]

@Orgelwahn

Danke für die freundlichen Worte. Die Melodie in "Hey Jude" ist meistens in vierstimmigen Akkorden gespielt. Das hat auch grossen Einfluss auf den Klang. Alles Gute, William.

[ablracing]

Very wonderful playing!!!

One of favorite songs from Beatles!!!!

[MrKeys57]

[MusicBlinded51]

@MrKeys57

[VA7Player]

Hi William, it is really pleasant to hear an organ played in the good, old fashioned way. I enjoyed it very much.

Regards VA7Player

[MusicBlinded51]

@VA7Player

Hello VA7Player,

thank you so much for your friendly comment. I love to play my organ and it is wonderful, if other musicians enjoy my playing too. All the best for you, William.

[X66B3]

Hi William,

[MusicBlinded51]

@X66B3

Hi Co,

@promo468

Hi Paco, thank you so much for your friendly comment!

Un secreto, - creo que el sonido del órgano Hammond es adictivo!

Best regards, William.

[pietx66]

Hi William,Very nice song,you played very well.

I like the arrangments of Harry Stoneham.

gr. Piet

[MusicBlinded51]

@pietx66

Hi Piet,

nice to hear from you. Thank you for your comment! Maybe we will see us in Utrecht (May)?!

Best regards, William.

[mikefox1974]

Fantastic !! Great job, dear William !! Your arrangement is very original and very pleasant !!

[MusicBlinded51]

@mikefox1974

Hi Maurizio,

it`s wonderful , that you have time too to hear my new upload. When I`m on your site, I see always, that you are so busy. You have so many friends and subscibers!!! But many thanks to you and all the best, William.

[MariLavienrose]

The music and performance are beautiful.Thanks!!

[MusicBlinded51]

@MariLavienrose

Hi Mari,

it`s wonderful you like this interpretation of "Hey Jude" too. One day I will play a brazilian song too.

Muito obrigado, William.

[dunlapds2]

What a great job you do on this "oldie" William! I have never heard the Harry Stoneham arrangement, and I was quite surprised when this video started and I heard the rhythm! I would never think to play this song with "upbeat" style, but you have done an incredible job here! And, as others have mentioned, your video AND audio quality is top! Eager to hear more from you soon!

David

[MusicBlinded51]

@dunlapds2

Hi David, thank you for your detailed comment. Before uploading the song, I also thought, most people will not know "Hey Jude"played this way. But the Harry Stoneham arrangement was written for that. And after the first moment of shock the most liked it, - I think. Best regards, William.

[chkjns]

@dunlapds2 Praise from you is high praise indeed, David! I just worked William into my music treasury, on my Hammond playlist & my list of Outstanding Youtube Musicians. This sounds great on my bose speaker system, best investment I ever made !!! I LOVE how this arrangement has turned a dismal song into such a bouncy little number, but that's the magic of the electronic keyboard, yes? Any sad song can become chipper!

[maynardcat]

Excellent playing, and the sound is fantastic. I have a 100 watt speaker system on the PC, and it sounds like the organ is in the room. Great job capturing the wide range sound of the organ. With sound quality this high you should put at the beginning of your videos best sound quality at 720p. Youtube's over sampling of sound is also higher as the resolution setting is increased. This is very noticeable on higher quality sound videos.

[MusicBlinded51]

@maynardcat

Hello Bill,

thank you so much for your interesting comment and for your pointer to YouTubes sound quality.

In the future I will always think of that. All the best for you, William.

[chkjns]

@maynardcat What fun to come here & find all my friends - maynard, maestro dunlap & Maurizio! Why wasn't I invited to the party? ;) I added this to my Hammond Organ playlist! Do you enjoy the shares I send out once in awhile? chuck

[maynardcat]

@chkjns Hi Yes I do like shared videos. I have a few that send me videos, but not many, & I do like getting them. They sometimes find things I like that I would not find myself. I really like his playing in this video, and also the better quality microphones he used. It was very apparent when first hearing this on my larger Boston Acoustic PC speakers it wasn't the usual camcorder recording. I'm always interested in better quality sound, & the equipment & techniques they use.

[rotosphere2000]

Nice one, William. ( And what a great sound you get from the Elegante )

* * * * *

[MusicBlinded51]

@rotosphere2000

Hello Keith,

thank you for your comment. Yes, my Hammond has no MIDI, no modern drums, but the sound of the drawbars I like too!

Best wishes, William.

[MrMaymac]

**Hi William**

And again you let me enjoy a great song with a great interpretation, I also love the style of swing, almost everything, but I must clarify that this song besides me fascinated seizes the rhythm of my body.

Just great, it fails to say so many things to describe this wonderful interpretation, because I think they all left off what I express.

¡¡Great Job!!

-Miguel Ángel-

[MusicBlinded51]

@MrMaymac

Hi Miguel Angel,

thank you so much for your wonderful comment. Often words can not express, what we are feeling. But I feel, that this music reached your heart and that makes me happy. Thank you, William.

[Reggi05]

Hallo William,

schön, wieder etwas von dir zu hören. Deine gespielte Version auf der Hammond hört sich klasse an. Gefällt mir. Für diese herrliche Darbietung natürlich beide Daumen nach oben.

LG Regina

[MusicBlinded51]

@Reggi05

Danke Regina, für den freundlichen Kommentar. Tja, so fleissig im uploaden wie du bin ich nicht. Aber es ist ja nur Hobby, da macht man`s wie es geht. Alles Gute auch weiterhin für deine Arbeiten, William.

[cheshire1uk]

Hey William you got that spot on with a great swing feel, Harry himself would be proud of that! plus a great sound from the Elegante. I can't believe someone has given that a dislike.

***** Keith

[MusicBlinded51]

@cheshire1uk

Hi Keith,

thank you so much, for your friendly comment and..., -you know. It`s fine you like this swing tune. Harry played a Bebop-pace. But that`s his previleg! All the best for you, William.

[hammondasano]

Beautiful Elegante,beautiful play it is!

Toshi

[MusicBlinded51]

@hammondasano

Nice, that you like it too. I played this song years before, but slower. Because I did not know, that Harry Stoneham did it in a fast pace. Today I know, he played this arrangement much faster than I.

Have a good time, William.

[Thedaanvo]

Excellent! Nice swinging version of this classic pop song! 5/5

[MusicBlinded51]

@Thedaanvo

Thank you Daan. It`s different from the normal pop-beat. But I like it too.

Best wishes for you, William.
