I'd love to hear this guy sing "If" in a public free venue. The crowed really killed it. He has a nice voice and did this song proud.

Thank you very much for your kind words. David Gates is a great writer. John

[songtruth]

Nice cover, John! I really like your voice. :)

[BeachBoysGuy1]

Why thank you very much. I had not expected to do it, but threw caution to the wind. A friend videotaped it and so the actually starts on the second verse. It's also in a lower key than the original Davod Gates song which I had been used to, so it was a quick adaption.

Love your voice as well. I'm sure you hear this all the time, but you reallyu do have a Karen Carpenter sound when you want to, John

[danfromma]

One of my fav songs. And, wow, yes this def is a lower key. I have John's CDs great stuff.

[BeachBoysGuy1]

Thanks very much Dan. David Gates is one of my favorite ballad writers Thanks for buying one of my CDs. Which do you have " Diamonds On the Beach " or "It's About Time" ??

Aloha from Hawaii,

John

[danfromma]

It's my great pleasure to have both. :)

And I really love "The Laughter Of Your Voice" a tremendous song.

I was about to reply to you about your friends in Maui, but i accidentally hit 'remove" instead of "reply" I'm sorry.

[danfromma]

No worries!

Nice job. Always loved this song. You should try The Hollies The Air That I Breathe. Or maybe Eye In The Sky by the Alan Parsons Project. Your voice would suit those songs too!

[BeachBoysGuy1]

Thank you. I have maybe actually sung in a karaoke place twice, this being one time. I am used to playing guitar and singing this in the original Daid Gates' key. This was lower. I love the songs you mention. I also have two CDs out commercially ' Diamonds On the Beach" and "It's About Time" and am qorking on a third Aloha and Mahalo, John

[punahele85]

Excellent job! Good luck to you as well :)
