40, 80, or 10 (Tanya Savory Cover)

[dfoggo]

Really enjoyed this. I'm familiar with the Tanya version which I have on CD here in Edinburgh Scotland. I love the simplicty of the way you play and great vocals. I'll be back for more :-)

[Johnfern99]

@dfoggo Thank you very much. Tanya wrote such a great song here and she has many others also. She was very kind to give me permission to sing my version and I'm really glad you liked it! I appreciate that a lot!

[PeteBtL]

What a wonderful job! Tanya's stuff is very soulful, and you did just a wonderful job.

[Johnfern99]

@PeteBtL Thanks very much! I appreciate that a lot. It's such a great song.

[TonyLaFr]

I've looked for Tanya Savory on Youtube. Never found any---but this cover is really good. Shw is a really talented artist.

[Johnfern99]

@TonyLaFr Thanks very much! Tanya was kind enough to give me permission and told me she liked my cover. I did a faster version, but decided to go with the slow one here. Always wondered if I made the right decision. Glad ya liked it!

Wonderful performance of a great song! The lyrics capture that restless mood of those "traveling" folk songs so well.

Nice, John! Your voice and take on this song make it new again. Thanks for covering it.

[Johnfern99]

Thanks Tanya! I'm really glad to hear that cause I was torn between singing it fast like your version, or slowing it down to try and fit my style better. It was my pleasure to cover it, and my subscribers love your song!

[agrlfmtx]

What a neat song. I have never heard it before. I really like the words. You sound so smooth when you sing. I love your voice, John!! Great job! t:)

[Johnfern99]

Thanks Theresa! I appreciate that a lot. The original version is faster, and I tried singing it that way, but thought it was better if I slowed it down a bit, then today I'm thinking maybe I sang it too slow, and maybe I should have gone up an octave, and maybe I should have worn a differnt t-shirt. Always second guessing myself.

[agrlfmtx]

How funny! I do the same thing. Only on YT do you get a second chance. Can't do that in the REAL world!! ha ha...I think you did just FINE and Dandy!! No regrets here! t:)

[rbutler8585]

Thanks Rick! Glad ya liked it and also I'm glad the sound came out as well as it did. I've been trying to get rid of flaws by watching my level meters close.

♫ Derek J. Holak ♫

[Johnfern99]

Thanks Derek! Glad ya liked my version! I had that cup drank down before I even got rolling, but I'm usually pretty cautious with my java. (don't want to waste one precious drop)

[jugnutgut2]

great song John, I've never heard it, wonderful cover

[Johnfern99]

Thanks Rob! Appreciate that and glad I could pass it along!

[suuzzee5]

What a terrific song ... sung and played beautifully by you! I love traveling song. It's that ole Easy Rider thing, I guess. :)  Great job, John! Suze

[Johnfern99]

Thanks Suze! Appreciate the wonderful compliment and the whole travelling concept appealed to me, funny thing is I don't do that much travelling myself, I just like to sing about it.

[suuzzee5]

I don't travel much any more either, John, just in my head. You know.... reading, writing stuff, listening to music, sitting on a log in the woods dreaming. I used to have to "see" everything but have found that I still can, only I don't have to go anywhere. Guess that's OK as long as the station doesn't start playing re-runs.... lol

[Johnfern99]

I've been to some great places on vacations but it seems they never quite live up to the hype. They're nice and all but I always found myself wondering, "So...this is it? Hmmmm, maybe I'm missing something."

[marcie99]

wow John! what a wonderful song! and so beautifully done by you! i sooooooo loved this!!! (never heard this one before!)so glad she gave u permission as its truly just so wonderful...and well i just really loved it John!

[Johnfern99]

Thanks Kathy! Glad you liked my version! If you can, check out Tanya's version since I don't think I did the original justice. I was happy she gave me the go-ahead to do the song though. I'm always looking to add more to my "Songs used with permission" playlist since I'm never sure when the YT police might come knocking on the door of my channel and start pulling videos.

[lovacoustic]

great song and great performance. thanks.

[Johnfern99]

Thanks much! Appreciate that and I'm glad you liked my version! Check out Tanya's if you get a chance!

[Ottawarocket]
