this song gets me man. one of my good friends died in a bike accident. "left his motercycle at a high rate of speed". Great performer though saw him couple of days ago in boston. He did his whiteman dance witt the neighberhood song and i laughed my ass off.
Yeah man thats true...Willy opened for back a while back, around 2000 I believe. Impressed the audience so much, they gave him a standing ovation..not too shabby
He is one original guy. He writes well, sings in various octives...and plays the guitar in simple and then very complex ways all in one song. Then, he can Loe Kodke style play without any effort. He is going to play until he is 85 and smile as he delivers his last breaths via song song humming. He feels every song.
Love this song! I've only seen Willy in concert once, but it was an awesome show. And like bobbyO said above, he is one class act. I wish there were more videos of him available here!
I've seen Willy many times live and he's always been a class act. Nice guy too. He comes out after concerts and talks to fans. See him if you get the chance, you won't be sorry.
I got some of the Porter musical gene, but cousin Willy got it all. Love this song and performance.

He's a super nice guy too. Anyone who is looking at this vid and thinking "eh, maybe" needs to see him live. Ive never seen a concert quite like his.

Very nice guy, I've met him several times and he always seems to make time for you and the 200 other people who want to talk to him.

One of my favourite Porter songs. And the version is different than the original, or the one in his live album.
Great video
