Gus the Bus (Written by Sean Blackburn)

[dubldvideo]

Hi John, I love it! The video is tight. Is that Sean or you singing? Thanks for the video. It made me smile, as Sean always did. He was a neat guy.

[Johnfern99]

@dubldvideo Thanks very much, and that's me singing. Sean's version was faster and his guitar parts were awesome too, but that wouldn't be unusual for him. I learned it from when he played it during a radio interview he did back in '75 or '76. Glad ya liked my version!

Hi! John ~ The Volkswagon Bus is part of some of the best of the past! It's such a sweet image, maybe we have to have the Volkswagon Bus come back!!!:):):)to help us live more simply and take our time again. Your music and the video is so uplifting! ***** Peace:) and Love ~ Patty

[mettanc]

hi patty....this is new for me....but what a fantastic song....

[Johnfern99]

Thanks so much, Patty! I thought I had responded to this, but I am sorry if I missed it! They were fun vehicles, but not the safest in the world.

[Ottawarocket]

Gotta love those VW buses, I never owned one but I want a VW bus after watching this video...Love the song John

Rob

[Johnfern99]

Thanks Rob! Nobody speaks too highly of the way they used to run, but they still loved 'em!

[hippygal7]

my mom and dad would not let me be a hippy tho!!! hahahah but I went to all the love ins heehee

[JLSTaylor]

Ha ha! This one had me giggling so hard, very clever vid and great song, John. Esp. loved the beep beep. I never owned a VW bug but am a diehard VW gal. / :o) Marina

[JLSTaylor]

Oh ... and what a Fahrvergnügen video, John! LOL. :)

[fkidder]

HA! I wanted to get a VW "bus" when I was in college. I got a Ford Fiesta instead.

Great song, John. Thank you for sharing it!

[Johnfern99]

Thanks Fkidder! The bus wasn't the safest way to travel. There was nothing in front of you in case of an impact. Maybe it's a good thing they didn't move too fast.

[MonkeylessJohn]

Man!! That was delightful John!!!

Talk about some memories!!!

Great great song and so true!!!

Somehow, watching this video, I feel cooler!!!

Ha Ha

Well done John!!

[Johnfern99]

Thanks John! I'm surprised at how many people had one of these things in their past.

I know the beetle bugs were popular, but the vans must have been too.

[hippygal7]

So many memories!I only had Bugs with I had the Bus...

[Johnfern99]

Thanks Hippygal! I should have thrown in some VW hippy vans while I was at it. I remember seeing a lot of them in my younger days.

[coolanddark]

i love these

happy fun songs!i used to live in a

vw bus.fantastic John!

[Johnfern99]

Thanks Dan! I wanted to do something a little more light hearted and humerous. Glad ya liked it, and I was surprised how many people had a VW bus at one time. (or still do)

[serenataorg]

Hey, great job, very funny picture for 'standing behind the bus to...' line, even funnier how it turned out to be the thumbnail picture! Raul

[Johnfern99]

Thanks Raul! I was wondering what picture I could use for that line and when I was searching I came across the one with the babe in the water. I couldn't believe it myself when that one turned out to be the thumbnail since I never even try to plan those. Hmmmm, maybe it will get me more hits!

[wmstrop]

Great fun, John! Very cool song and I loved the video too. Well sung and played as well. 5 stars for this one!

Bill

[Johnfern99]

Thanks Emifolk! Always glad when my vids bring a smile!

[flatted5th]

Cool song- my first car was a '60 bug-think it had about 50 HP!

[Johnfern99]

Thanks Richard, my older brother used to drive one. I remember hanging on to that handle on the passenger side while he flew around town in it.

[TERUKO5]

Really cute song and video! Great footage. 5*****

[Johnfern99]

Thanks Teruko! I never realized how much video there is out there for a VW bus!

[UncleVRoy]

Perfect JOHN FERN SONG

BEEP BEEP to you

5*'s

Lets all go camping!!

[Johnfern99]

Thanks Johnny! They do seem like a popular camping vehicle.

[shawnmcnair1]

Really cool vid and song! 5er!

[Johnfern99]

Thanks so much, Shawn!

[madcowgirl4h]

That was really great, especially with all the pictures you put on there. I've got a buddy with a little truck named Gus, but I think Gus the Bus sounds better :)

[Johnfern99]

Thanks Madcowgirl! Glad you enjoyed it! Tell your buddy to change the name to Buck the truck!

[Eddie629]

Another great vid John !!!....bumper held on by wires ?..lol...great song...and always a great vid to go along with it !!Thanks for deciding to do nothing but upload a new vid in this heat !!!excellent !*****

[Johnfern99]

Thanks Eddie! Glad ya liked it! I had to stay in and test our new central air! It's a beautiful thing!

[losthills]

That's a really nice one, man.

Never heard of SB before.....

[Johnfern99]

Thanks Lost, unfortunatley, he passed away a few years ago, but left some great music!

[nllleonard]

Love this! May have to make a video featuring my beloved Previa, still running great with 260,000 miles under her belt! Great song John, and interesting subject!

[Johnfern99]

Thanks Nancy! I'm glad you enjoyed it! It's amazing how long some vehicles will run! You must take good care of her!

[canajian]

[Johnfern99]

Thanks Gerry, glad ya liked it!

[sinawava42]

I used to have a '57 bus. A previous owner had painted it red, white and blue. Had a fun year before it became a shed.

Thanks for triggering my memory.

[Johnfern99]

Thanks Sinawava! Glad it brought back some good times for ya! By the some of the pics I found, it look s like they make good sheds too!

[Bluefroger]

really enjoyed this fun song!

At least someones getting the sun....! Been raining Cats and Dogs all day here in the UK!!

lol!!

Take care Sarah x

[Johnfern99]

Thanks Sarah! Glad you enjoyed it! The sun is nice but not when it's hot and muggy. Good time to test out the new central air!

[marcie99]

you so have a knack for picking those odd titles, but great songs!!!! yeah its hot here toooo! you always make such great videos to go with your beautiful voice!

[Johnfern99]

Thanks Kathy, I knew this would be another weird title for ya! Glad ya liked the vid though!

[encinitasmel]

This is cool, really enjoyed it :)) great images

mel.

[Johnfern99]

Thanks Mel, glad you enjoyed the ride!

[suuzzee5]

LOL!!! I used to have an OLD one of those, faded aqua and white. To get it started, first you had to remember to park it on a hill ... and then pop the clutch as it sped down the hill. It was (and has always been) my favorite ride! Would like to have one in running order today. You know, you could just about run faster than those things would go... lol

[Johnfern99]

Thanks Suz! They seem to be a pretty popular ride with the VW enthusiasts. Not what you would call a safe ride. I heard someone say once that in the event of a crash, the only thing between you and the other guy were your knees.

[suuzzee5]

Once when some hoses and belt thingys wouldn't work right, so we paper clipped them together and the bus ran for awhile. I get all mushy inside just thinking about it.... lol

[bucknorrismusic]

Funny and great job John.

[Johnfern99]

Thanks Buck! Glad ya liked it and got a few laughs.
