South City Midnight Lady (Doobie Brothers)

[elmemogf]

Dude, you hit it otta the park! Outstanding cover, great job man! Greetings from Tucson, Arizona.

[Rikk303]

I'd have loved it if you were joined by the rest of the Doobies and totally set the place alight. Sounded good enough to me bud. Big man hugs

[openroad88]

You come up in the You Tube Doobie Brothers mix, and rightfully so.

[rickkmar]

great (hell fantastic to be honest) job, to bad the assholes in the crowd didnt appreciate the gift you were giving them, would love to hear more from you, great voice!

[olytanis]

Keep playing man-the toughest thing in the world is to get drunks to listen to good music.

[leycyp]

Beautiful rendition....The folks in the back

should have hushed up like they were in

church listening to a hymn...but maybe it was rounding out a good party atmosphere...anyway I think Tom and Pat

would approve of the way you sang and you made the Ovation sing....great tribute

[Rikk303]

Anyone who totes an Ovation Adamus is worth a second listen

[Larrymh07]

Nice job. You play it differently than me but sing way better than I do! Most cover bands are ham fisted in their treatment of Doobie songs, but you show the song great love. Keep playing!

[edj1175]

Great rendition of a great song, too bad the jerks in the place couldn't show some respect for your talents and shut up.

[Frankiarmz]

You were too good for that crowd, they did not deserve someone with your talent!

[archieventura]

Most Excellent!!!

[whitato1]

Great job. I wish the butt heads in the background realized how great a classic this song is! You have a great voice for this Doobie favorite of mine!

[Rikk303]

I was kinda hoping the rest of the band would chip in to shut the usual pub rabble up. Great rendition of a great song xxxxxxxx

Wow...beautifully done. I'd love to have the

pleasure of watching you perform. Sounds like the audience you had didn't appreciate the quality singing/playing you gave them. Keep it up!

[cinderella6251]

Very fine rendition of this song! Your voice is alot like Pat's. Brings back memories. Mr. Simmons once sang this to me for my birthday at the House of Blues. Unforgettable.

[spoonwalk]

Thank you so much to all who commented!!! "I'm much obliged indeed!" ;-)

[BreekieMe]

Hi Gina!

[DanielRidener]

I hate it when someone is playing and singing their heart out and assholes just keep yelling and screaming over the top of him. Great song and great playing and singing too. I would love to jam with you Brother. Keep it up man. You Rock Brother!

[bryanrobertson]

A very good performance Frank.

[BrockLee54]

Really Good job.

[pugmom6]

This man is great, to bad he's playing to a room of rude assholes!!!

[Husker377]

Great rendition Walk..Still gives me goose bumps to hear this song.

Any chance of redoing it without the "background singers"?

[56panhead]

Excellent job on a very classic Doobie special,...have you ever tried it in Open G the way Pat Simmons plays it?,...it's has great harmonics that way, but requires finger-picking vs. strumming as you are doing. All you were missing was Bumpus's sax solo,...killer job, Tim-Hurricane Alley(FL)

[spoonwalk]

Thanks so much Tim! I'm not very good with alternate tunings & usually just stick/adjust to standard, although I agree it would be better that way as Pat did it. I also strum it when I play it alone to attempt to make up for lack of a band behind me! :) Ever hear them do it live these days with Marc Russo on sax? Breathtaking!!! Their Live at Wolf Trap CD & DVD is an amazing example of that. Thanks again!

[56panhead]

Yeah, I've got both Live at Wolf Trap and Rockin' Down The Highway DVD's,....great concerts! That's where I picked up Simmons Open G tuning on South City Midnight Lady, but I do agree that your strumming version definitely fills in for a more full sound. I'm getting a camcorder soon and doin' the Youtube thing,...I'm been doing this for 38 years & have 25 great guitars, Martins, Gibsons, Larrivees, Bourgeois, McPherson, Alvarez, etc (I need therapy!)

[openroad88]

This song is a lost jewel of classic rock. Love your version of it-making it your own!

[spoonwalk]

Thanks openroad88!

[spoonwalk]

Thanks very much Mitch & Steve!

[stevelob]

Good stuff, I'm a big Doobies fan, you kept me watching. One of my favorite DB songs.

[MitchPillowcase2381]

Honestly, One of my favourite songs ever. You did an awesome job dude.

[spoonwalk]

LOL!!!!

Thanks Otto! LOL!!!

There was only a small handful of people there at the time but because the room is big they sounded louder than they really were! :)

[rottenotto2003]

X job Frank.. only wish I coulda been there to tell those folks to STFU!!!!

[spoonwalk]

Thanks very much to all! :)

[quaddick]

very nice job with an outstanding Doobie Brothers' song.

[jmtwg]

Enjoyed your playing and singing. Well done. I too love playing Ovation guitars. Thank you for this song

[tonyfar23]

Very Good my respects for flying solo, love you're work. Thank You.

[spoonwalk]

Thank YOU sir!!! :)
