Great job on this!!!

[fredthejunkman]

@42Redbear - thanx very much Redbear ;-)

[skinmomz88]

love this band but plz rid yourself with the mullet

[Gr3gg228]

The bass carries this song throughout but no matter who plays it no camera man ever shows the bass. You guys did show about 3 or 4 seconds of the bass though.

[BryanEddy09]

i kept forgetting i was only hearing you and Tim here .brilliant .

[fredthejunkman]

Thanks much Bryan!

[pie0my]

I actually enjoy the sound synched to the original artist's video.

[fredthejunkman]

Thanks. I think Farner is more photogenic than me anyway.....

[fredthejunkman]

Thanks very much Arie!

[RockBroAdW]

I agree with all the comments . 5 stars !!

[PecosMtJeff]

Copyright problems or not... it is just a bit unsetteling to see the original artists performing while someone's cover audio is dubbed over the actual audio. Your covers sound just fine on their own and could easily be done with some kind of honestly representative video I would think, even if they are not played live...

[fredthejunkman]

Well Jeff, I never really looked at it that way. I certainly get your point. I'm trying to tape more of my own performances for the future.

Hi Dave, Michael T here. Thanks for your gracious & flattering comment on this Farner Classic. The older I get the harder it is to get enough air to carry it (not to mention that I'm a classically trained baritone) I saw your comment in my inbox but it didn't appear on the vid so I'm responding here. You've also done & interesting rendition here with many more elements than mine. Your vocal is much better but I think you cheat cuz you sound like a true tenor to me! Hope we can be friends :o)

[fredthejunkman]

Hey Michael, thank you for your nice comments! I'm a baritone, just like you. It's very evident that I struggle to hit those notes that you seem to hit with little effort.

Nice to make another friend on YT. Cheers!

[mudhens4ever]

Wait, I get it....duh. Your audio, Grand Funk's video.

[fredthejunkman]

Doh!!

[mudhens4ever]

So that's you, Fredthejunkman? When was this? Sounded GREAT!

[fredthejunkman]

Thanks very much!

[deanb92]

Brilliant Dave & Tim! 5 stars!

[fredthejunkman]

We thank you very much Dean-o!

[SilverHamer]

Dave & Tim...I expected nothing less than awesomeness and that is what I got. :D This is a great track! LC

[fredthejunkman]

Thanks for the good word Bro!

[StarHomer]

Thanks for letting me set in on this one Dave. You are one awesome musician my friend. TimG

[fredthejunkman]

My sincere thanks for playing the drums with the same intensity of Brewer. I think they sound fab!

[cefdad]

You are the Captian!!! I really enjoy your videos - they are so polished. You hold the bar that we are all trying to reach up and touch. The panning of the guitar is just awesome - this is really great!

[fredthejunkman]

Thanks so much for listening. Tim and I appreciate the support.

[sullyrock]

[chumbels]

[bbsb300]

Hello Dave, That's a great piece of work with a very novel way of doing a video ;) The harmonies reminded me of the Little River Band..excellent matey;) I loved the stereo effect of the guitar;) 500 stars, Cheers Billy ;)

[fredthejunkman]

Thanks Billy.....I've got a long way to go to catch up with you and your vids!

[jimmymac30]

Phenomenal!! Dave, you are a master musician and artist. You sang this way better than I could have!

P.S. I live in the Philly area, and obviously love the hometown team. The Cardinals are my second favorite NL team though. When we lost Rolen to you, it was bittersweet.

[fredthejunkman]

I wish...thanks for the kudos Jimbo! Rolen's in Toronto now and I hope he does better up there than he did in St. Louis.

[jimmymac30]

He was outstanding as a Phil, great glove and good bat, he allowed us to finally get over the fact that Mike Schmidt had retired.

[fredthejunkman]

You're too kind bro! Wish that I had Farner's power and range....Thanks so much!

[jhaley12]
