Too cool. He should re-do a (1st time?) video of this song. Luv the guy comin out of nowhere playin different instruments. He should keep doin it through the whole song. Would make for a great video theme. The original recording is a frickin' anthem in this state. Aloha from Detroit.

[GregDrayGregDray]

I just played on the same bill last summer with the Numbers Band.Robert Kidney is one great guy.He is a very gracious man as well as a damned fine talent!

[platoonboss]

Saw him in November,1971 or was it 1972? at Massassoit Community College, in MA. Good show. Everyone was screeming for "Sunshine" and he was a little pissed, saying "OK, so you listen to the radio." He finally rushed through it and moved on. They should have treated him better I thought at the time. Was that ever a long time ago.

[twinadultclub]

WOW. I also play harp and guitar and what an inspiration. makes me want to play more and more.

[fendrbendr111]

lol at 1:00

[mthomas12689]
