I love this.

[ljped]

Thanks for checking out the videos 1947News.

[singularity64]

Yeahhh!! Old is definitely the new Cool! You guys really have it all together. Faved and subbed. 5*****

[ljped]

It was great fun doing this....

Thanks Ferdy.

[bulldogstrut1]

Simply the best rendition out there! It only goes to prove that Cool transcends all ages. You guys are great. I love the visual tunnel effect, and the bass player really has it going on with the shades and stoker hat. The vocal presentation is marvelous, and the calm, laid-back lead player anchoring the scene in the rear finishes the whole effect perfectly. Outstanding!

[ljped]

I think that we'll hire you to do publicitiy for us lol!

Thanks bulldogstrut1.

[CurtisMateer]

Good. I have the Louden Wainwright III 3 album and like it. Didn't know L&S wrote it though. Must read record notes more carefully from now on. Keep up those great obscurer covers.

[ljped]

I always loved his version on that album but his best was from a live album - just himself and the acoustic guitar - magic!

[o0omaco0o]

Im diggin the shades Gavin, tres cool lol. It's Mary-Anna by the way, the bass is unbelievable, i love it!!!

Fantastic!!

[ljped]

Yes Gavin definately looks like a cool dude in shades lol!

Thanks Mary-Anna.

[ewetoob100]

I think this is my favorite! I love your band. I want to be a groupie, but I live too far away. Oh well...

[ljped]

Great to hear from you ....but I don't think we would know how to cope with groupies - lol!

Thanks Sheeler.

[mountnmonkey]

Looks like great fun...I'll bet you guys had lots of fun new years eve... *ron "mountnmonkey"

[jaybekko]

I just like to listen* ;)

[ljped]

Great to hear from you Eddie - thanks.

[Pitsku]

What's it like to be the coolest trio on the planet? The glasses had to come. All you need now is for some university to adopt you (why hasn't it happened already?) and cult status (which many of us already recognise) is assured. Come to London and play!

[ljped]

lol! - thanks for your kind words!

[carlguage]

Sounds Good Guys!!!

[ljped]

Thanks for the visit Carl.

[freeoriginalsongs]

Had to another listen again - I'll play drums to this tune any day. Very cool bass lime :) *****

[ljped]

Yep we could use a drummer! I'll pass on your compliment to Gavin - thanks.

[lukessummer]

Keep an eye on McDee boy's, He looks like he is planing a solo tour of coffee houses to read Beat poetry!...( It always starts with the sunglasses!!!)

Brilliant stuff fella's, you are going from strenght to strenght!

[ljped]

lol! - yes when he produced those shades I was quite surprised/puzzled. Maybe you've come up with the explanation.

Thanks lukessummer.

[JeriLynnKarr]

Man on man, Brother Dan (dmio2) sent me this way. This is so groovy smooth and mellow!

I dig!

[ljped]

I see that you sing some songs that originated further back in time than this one! Thanks JeriLynn.

[o0omaco0o]

Nah they are geniuses xD

[ljped]

Our heads will be getting too big for our hats! Thanks.

[dmio2]

You guys are either geniuses or I need to get out more. Nice story telling.

[ljped]

We do with a little sax on this but I suppose it's a bit too far for you to come to play in our Saturday night session!

Thanks Dan.

[freeoriginalsongs]

Love it guys :) ***** Love the smoky sunglasses. This one goes in my Favorites!

[ljped]

Great to get feedback from you - thanks.
