  • this is MY SONG! i love the video!! very amazed i came upon this! my grandma had the same color carpet on her floors!

  • This is great and I don't even like this song.

  • From the looks of all the dates on here, seems as if you haven't been on in awhile... hope you get inspired to show us more of your talents.... I just find it awesome how you play each instrument and put it all together! A lot of my friends will be seeing you! Bless you!

  • Love your version of Little Rivers " Lady "...My man sent it to me... I was truly amazed!!! You have the most talent of anyone I have ever seen.... hope to see more from you!

  • @Veefree1 wow, thanks!

  • damn dude thats the best cover I've heard

  • This is awesome!

  • you got it going on man

  • wow now that was cool and so much talent! bravo

  • 1980..driving on the strip in las vegas...My girl told me i was gonna be a daddy with this song on...i guess she was waiting for a moment to be in a good mood...lol...sheesh.

  • Excellent cover.You are amazing.

  • This is wonderful!

  • Thanks!

  • Very impressive talent.

  • Thank you!

  • tremendous amount of effort, well worth all the sweat and hours.  This is a keeper for sure. RokOn!

  • Thanks very much, I appreciate it!

  • Absolutely superb!

  • Thank you!

  • WOW ! that was great

  • Thanks!

  • Great job. The bass licks are a bit off, but close, and your drum timing needs a bit of work (as does mine), but still very well done.

    I doubt many people could pull this off anywhere near as close on all the instruments let alone doing ALL the vocal harmonies, I can only handle the low harmony comfortably.

    5 stars.

  • Thanks, man. Yep, it was definitely a "quick and dirty" recording. I appreciate the comment!

  • great

  • Awesome cover!

  • Dude, this is the best version of this song I have heard to date!!! Well Done!

  • Thanks!

  • Amazing!

  • DUDE!!!

    I'm one HUGE GOOSE BUMP!!!

    good stuff! and thanks!

  • Very GOOD....Professional even!

  • From one multi-instrument musician to another....I'm a fan. Very well done, and great song choices.

  • Cool, thanks!

  • WOW!! Great job on a great song!

  • very well done,you really put alot in this vid,it was great.

  • Wow this is as good as Little River Bands version, well done xx

  • wow. you are very good. love the voice. need more. thanks for posting.

  • Thanks! And thanks for commenting!

  • LOL love the video....one of my favorite songs, you made me laugh!

  • Happy to be of service! ^_^

  • It's the same dude playin all of the instruments

  • I like the transition @ 1:04 - 1:08, different from the original but better imo.

  • Thanks, man!

  • i seen LRB, wow. not bad you guys. not bad...takes me back

  • Cool, thanks!

  • I added your video to my vodpod, I hope you don't mind...

  • Great Job. Love the song, learning to play the guitar and want to play it for my wife for our anniversary, Do you have a tab for the solo? Thanks....

  • Thanks! But unfortunately, I don't have any tabs... I just played it by ear. Sorry!

  • The first song I ever remember 'hearing' on the radio. It made me stop and actually listen. Very cool. Thanks!!

  • No problem!

  • Well done!!! this is my all time fave LRB (original) song. I've listened to it hundreds of times & your version is brilliant! By the way, the high pitches in the original version are done by Beeb Birtles.....I don't think anyone can quite sound the same!

  • Thanks a lot... glad you enjoyed it!

  • This is an incredible version of this song. The only thing missing of this song is of all of the HIGH high notes of the red haired singer of little river band. He had high pitches that you couldn't touch. Unless he's there. Don't forget about John Fahrnam he's another pro. I Would actually love to sing with you guys. This was close to pro just rememeber pitch.

  • Thanks! Yeah, I know about the pitch stuff, but it's mostly because I recorded everything in just a few hours' time and didn't bother with perfection... I honestly never expected all that many people to ever see this.

  • Simply great. I was 14 when this first came out. Great job!!!

  • Thanks!

  • Nice job.

  • Are u playing anywhere ? I would be there in a flash. Where are u from ? keep up the good work. Awesome !

  • Hey, thanks! No, I'm not playing anywhere currently... sorry!

  • kick ass !!! want it done right do it your self i re-record tune aswell but this has a great visual to it . looks like alot of work . id like to see more . howsabout some CHEAP TRICK?

  • Yeah, it is definitely a lot of work, which is probably the main reason I don't do very many videos... but thanks for the comment!

  • great job!! you are very talented.I cranked this song up at least five times. Song i could not ever get sick of listening to. awesome!!!!

  • Thanks a lot!

  • great job...i like your "studio"...taking requests?

  • Thanks! Sure, I take requests... whether I actually have the time or urge to get to them is another matter entirely! ;)

  • Great song Rock on Bro!

  • Cool, thanks man!

  • You did a hell of a job with this vid. Great going.:} 1 of the best originals I have seen yet and Awsome song.Perfect.TYVM 4 Posting.^-^

  • Glad you enjoyed it, thanks!

  • I'm laaaaate to this party, but I loved this, more than the original LRB. You've got talent, humor and heart. So creativily put together...loved the little feature at the end with your doggy.

  • Thanks very much! (and actually, it's a kitty) ^_^

  • Ahhhh...a kitty. I just saw a white flash of fur at the end.  A cool way to end the video!

  • Very cool my friend. I completely understand what you are experiencing throughout this song. I have been having the same experience since I was just a little kid. One of the best songs ever downloaded from the Universe. Many Blessings and Peace.

  • Thanks for the great comment!

  • I LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE it!!! So good babes!!! Awesome!!! Way to go!

  • Thanks!

  • hey hows it going whats the matter with some of these people they can be so rude have you done abything new lately on you tube still havent got a cam yet but soon i just havent been out the that kind of store yet hope all is well with you Take it easy and be safe rock on dude

  • the last dude is an idiot. do you know how to play anything besides with yourself

  • no, he's playing a piano ... quite evenly.

  • well, i guess he couldn't get LRB on such short notice. who cares ... well, i do - this version means 10,000x more to me personally than the original ever did (which i love alot). as for why should you listen .... you probably shouldn't, that is, if you can't manage to break the chains of time & context (or bother to read about the motivation behind something before trashing it).

  • Settle down, baby... it's OK. I could list a hundred sucky things about this video/recording, and I'm the one who made it. It's just an opinion, and it's fine by me. Don't sweat it.

  • of course, i know that .... no sweat at all, baby :) still, it is necessary on occasion to stand up for what one believes in ;)

  • hey its gary i wrote you a couple of weeks ago and told you how much of an inspiration that you are, and you still are. But i really just want to know when someone posts a comment and they think you are a group, what goes through your head and if you laugh your ass off like i do when i read it. Keep rocking dude. Im getting a cam soon and hopefully im able to do something as great as you have. Be safe my friend

  • Hahahahaaaa... oh man, this comment totally cracked me up! Yeah, you noticed that too? LOL... I just have to laugh.

    If you get a cam and make something, be sure to send me a link. Thanks again!

  • That was unbeliveable. I've always enjoyed this song. Way to mutitask

  • Thanks a lot for the comment!

  • That was awesome. Can you send me that vocal arrangement, or did you just wing it? I'd love to sing this with friends.

  • I just winged it, sorry. Although, I am sure it's somewhat close to the original.

  • Wow! You people were absolutely incredible. You took a fantastic song and kept it that way. I was very ,very impressed. TYVM for posting. good luck and god bless

  • Thanks, that's really nice of you to say.

  • why this doesn't have 5 stars i do not know....dude you are awesome goin on faves right now

  • Dude, thanks a lot!

  • Wow you guys have this all the way down. Igrew up with this tune back the the late 70' &80'S very good job. you all need to wirte you own music and go on American Idol and tell Siamon to KYA! you are that good!!

  • Thanks, man!

  • WOW!!!! You are amazing. I thought you were LITTLE RIVER BAND. Thanks a lot for posting. I was barely 5 years old when this song came out and when I heard it on this site it brought back floodtides of memories...

    Thanks again!!!

  • No problem! Thanks for the comment.

  • I assume that you wrote this song... GOD BLESS YOU... everything you did was reeeaaaaalllly nice.. GO GO GO GO GO GO keep on going.

  • That song was done by The Little River Band. From 1978 until 1981, Little River Band achieved six consecutive US Top 10 singles with "Reminiscing", "Lady", "Lonesome Loser", "Cool Change", "The Night Owls" and "Take It Easy On Me". During their career the band has sold more than 25 million records and has scored 13 American Top 40 hits. So now you can look up some other great songs from them. Oh ya, the guy did a beautiful job re-doing that song I must agree.

  • Thanks for helping this person out with LRB info, and also thanks for your comments too! Peace

  • no problem. i was reading why you did this video and have to say i feel ya. i lost my wife due to a devorce a few years ago. we were married 2 months shy of 20 years. 24 in all. and i tell you, if it was not for picking up singing at karaokee afterward i think i would have turned into just another drunk till i o.d. it turned out that by singing our song (I love You by the climax Blues band) it made me still feel her and deal with the pain in a good way instead of drowning my sorrows with liquor.

  • Dude, that was totally amazing You are an inspiration to me

  • Thanks a lot, man!

  • from one musician to another: impressed!!!

  • Thanks!

  • well done man!! Go go go make a couple more1 :) You take requests?

  • Thanks! Requests? Hmmm... possibly... err, or not. ;)

  • you guys are so awesome.I sure hope you all use your talent to go knock them dead in the real world. you all are so talented..love ya guys voices and the sound

  • Thanks a lot! I'm just one guy, though. :)

  • i love this song man.

  • not only was the frigin awesome but it was also quite funny and a fantastic song! Great job on the video kept em comming man.

    Thanks

  • Thanks, man. Glad you dug it!

  • This is too awesome. You seem to be a very a talented and passionate musician. No doubt in my mind you'd keep this up! When I get a digital camera, I can only hope to upload something this good to share on YouTube. You're an inspiration man!! (^_^)

  • Thanks a lot! ^_^

  • very cool. i'm impressed.

  • Versatility!

    Impressive!

    One man!

  • OMG! That was freakin' awesome! And I was really touched by your story of inspiration behind it. It happens to all of us (well, I think at least almost all of us) at one time or another ChordToNowhere and actually, it's through the pain that we grow. Ummm ... you probably already know that, so, anyway, thanks for sharing! I'm going to listen to/watch your other videos. Great! Just great!

  • Thanks for the awesome comment, deblyn. I appreciate it!

  • That's so great to hear! Thanks so much.

  • Or check that...I think I meant the song Cool Change.

  • Simply awesome. Now THIS is true talent. There is much more put into this piece of work than what even shows. The video mix, the audio mix,; notice the different angles of the camera as he looks at them from different angles. All I can say is man, PLEASE keep it up. You have a gift and we are greatful you are able to share it. I would LOVE to hear your version of Reminiscing by LRB. THAT would be awsome! Thank you again.

  • Thanks for such an awesome comment, runningreat! I'm glad that you appreciate the work that went into it. There will be more some day, as time permits...

  • You have no idea how much this song and this video amazes me. This is beyond special. Words cannot explain.

  • Thanks for all your kind comments!

  • Dude, I think this is awesome . You did this for your lady, and you're every instrument? Don't listen to anybody dissin' you. I hope the lady was impressed.

  • Thanks very much, I appreciate it!

  • QUITE! ^_^

  • not bad dude, impressive!

  • Great job covering this tune-I'm impressed!!

  • radio's dead anyway....hey,...we're free!

  • the outro of the song seems rushed for no purpose...kind of like ashley simpson doing her jig. the song could quit being, in some parts,apologetic to the beatles(or the progression from)..and just go for it! put all the meat on it's bones! not sayimg i want to change this one song in particular, just a lot of songs in general..i just hate hearing songs not reaching their full potential. it bugs me.bad production limiting the artist...for a couple more bucks.

  • could the last verse be done three times instead of two times...could the song be made even better...just small tweaks and adjustments? the song is great and a piece of history now...but???????great job!!whoever you are and do you have a producer outside of yourself? if i only had half the talent i would apply! anyway...what a great selflis gift you've presented. i envy tou!

  • great man! cool video. talent all around

  • Cool dude. Always loved that song.

  • ...well done ....great job....

  • Great job....reminds me of my youth, oh so many years ago.....

  • muy bien , muy bien ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

  • muy bueno felicitaciones por este cover de the little river band.

  • keep the dream alive

  • My opinion only: Excellent job, overall. But if I may nitpick, the drumming is below average and the vocal is over-annunciated, which seems to detract from the feeling of the tune. However, the music is very well performed, the vocal is on key, and I like the mix. Basically, it's just my opinion of what would make a 9.75 into a 10. And, no, I could not do it better.

  • Good voice. Good job. I hope you go far.

  • vocals need brought down more in the mix but great job on a great lost song.

  • Good job just need a make over get rid of the hat and your cool again. It's still strange to see it all, but good, you need a band and play local.. new look is needede though. sorry it's true.

  • again keep up the work, you only lose when you give up.regards, jon

  • The songwriter himself sent me this YouTube link. Congrats guys! LRB founder, Graeham Goble, thinks your cover of his song is one of the better ones he's ever heard! Great job!!!

  • Good voice. Good job and good recording. By the way, nice cat at the end, lol.

  • Fantastic job. Lucky lady...

  • awesome rendition,you make it look easy,i hope you go far!!viva le LRB!

  • Ugly carpet...

  • I like everything except your voice - it's too unkept for this song.

  • wow i'm amazed great song great words am i reaaly getten older i remember being in my brothers 65 mustang convertible listening to this!

  • This RAWKS! Excellent work from every aspect! I loved the split screen work, I need to find a program that is user-friendly enough for me to try doing that! LOL. Great tune and great rendition! ROCK ON BROTHER! LC

  • You definitely did a good job on a tough song to play. Kudos!

  • You have done an incredible job!!!

  • Wow!

  • fukkin fantastic job!..Hats off here..

  • it's like ben folds five huh! Solo performer! Am I right?

  • Not what I expected when I decided to watch this video. I am a huge L.R.B. fan and always have been. You did them justice my friend. Keep up the good work and you will get your reward.

  • Loved the vibe you captured in this. I'm sure your special lady did too!

  • One of my favorite songs and very well done.

    Just one question: how many hours of rehearsal went into this?

    Mark Spence

  • Thanks. No rehearsal at all, really. I already knew the song, so I just had to lay down each part. It probably only took a few hours to record and mix (if I remember correctly).

  • Very impressive! An excellent rendition of one of my favorite songs. You do indeed have great talent and heart. Kudos!

  • Thank you very much for this rendition of the song, you have an amazing voice, and plenty of talent. You are a true artist.

  • you are amazing love it one of my fav songs

  • wow, ur voice is amazing, lucky woman to have you

  • Your GREAT!

  • Not a problem! ...and thank you very much.

  • More. More! MORE!!

  • careful what you wish for ... i heard a rumour ... o_o

  • Can you fly? You can do everything else. WOW!

  • he CAN fly ....

    the only thing he cannot do is eat spiders ....

    .... not even with ketchup!

  • For you, perhaps I would...

    I said perhaps ;P

  • batter-fried thomisidae w/ tartar sauce, perhaps?

    ;p

  • Be careful what ye wish for, SABatoge2002... I do indeed have a violin. ;) ...but anyways, thanks!

  • Oh dear God, he's on to us!!! ~runs around like a headless chicken~ Umm, unless everyone asks you about it, would you mind sending me a message about this special lady?

  • What's more to say aside from she's the most amazing woman in the world? But, feel free to send me a private message if you wish. Uh oh... why do I suddenly feel an Air Supply cover coming on? (be afraid, people... be very, very afraid)

  • In every espect amazing; loved the video and all your performances! 5/5

  • Thanks so much, DeXimE. I appreciate it.

  • This was a really good job. The only fault I see in it is the tempo was a little too slow. Good job of piano, bass, guitar, and drum playing. Now all he needs is a violin, and you're Little River Band all over again.

  • He has a violin! Don't encourage him! :)

  • ^_^

    :warmfuzzies:
