This is great , William!! Your do the Carters song so well. I love it when you sing their songs. I don't think anyone could do a better job. Absolutely love they way you pick the guitar on their songs!

[Ridger1978]

Thank you Ginger, that really means a lot to me. Hope all is well. William

I've said it before Will, and I'll say it again: You are truly at your best on this type music. It is just in your blood buddy. GREAT JOB! Later man, Mike

[Ridger1978]

Thanks Mike

[mountnmonkey]

Great one William!!!This is my favorite kind of music and you do it so well....thanks for posting.

[Ridger1978]

I appreciate it buddy

[MoJoPiano]

Oh yeah Will, if I don't get an invitation to Marie's birthday party, I'm gonna be really upset! LOL!

[Maribo33]

Of course, Mike, I´ll invite you too!

William will play for us and the other guests and we both will have a lot of dances together!

And I hope, when we dance, that we don´t have our "senior moments" then, LOL

Have a nice time, Marie

[MoJoPiano]

HEY WILLIAM! I dearly love this old song. Been a while for me on this one. Nice job singing Will. You had this one perfectly keyed (pitch) for your voice range. Just excellent guitar work here too! As Mr Welk would say. . . . WUNERFUL! WUNERFUL! Mike

[Ridger1978]

Lol! Thanks Mike. I can usually find a good vocal pitch in the Carter Family songs, it's all the other songs I have a problem with lol! Thanks MIke

[MoJoPiano]

You do fine on all of um William, but the Carter tunes are definitely your area of EXPERTISE! There are a bunch of great pickers on YouTube, and I enjoy a lot of them. Ive listened to many of them play the old Carter standards, but. . . . . . NO ONE can authentically replicate Maybelles sound quite like you do pal! Still, its nice to see and hear you do different things like old country standards, (even Elvis) etc. from time to time. Keep up the good work Will! Mike

[Maribo33]

I´ll invite you to play on my 70th Birthday.

And then you´ll play every Carter-song for me you know - That will be a great Birthday Party!

5 shining stars for you and your playing!

Your friend over the ocean, Marie

[MoJoPiano]

Hey Miss Marie! See my note to Will about your birthday bash! LOL! Mike

[Ridger1978]

I would be very honored just for the invitation alone! Thanks for all the kind comments, Marie- my best to you- William

[Ridger1978]

Thanks buddy. I thought your videos were AWESOME! You are getting better all the time and I truly mean that. It's all about practice and playing what feels right to YOU!- Take Care

[deskyles]

HEY BUDDY,

I agree with Mike 100%, You do the Carter songs the best. You just get better and better. I hadn't heard that song but it was a pretty one. I give U 5 *****. Keep up the good work. I have really enjoyed your singing and playing. I was feeling a little blue tonight because of the Holiday tomorrow and YOU have lifted my spirits. May God always Bless and keep You. Take care, YOUR, " SWEET LADY", DARLENE

[Ridger1978]

Thanks Darlene. There is something about the Carter Family songs that sets them apart from others, but I still haven't figured out what it is!lol! Thanks for the comment "Sweet Lady"!- Your friend- William
