[Chrilleball1979]

This is not a embarrassing upload! I think my friend ( I consider you one of mine Ottawarocket) is doing a really nice job singing this one which is not a easy song to do whilst both playing and singing! Simple chords of course but the timing I think is really hard to make... Also I want to give a big hurray!!! for Ottawas version of M.MacLauchlan´s song Revelations!

Keep On Ottawarocket!!!

Greetings from Sweden!

[Ottawarocket]

Thank you my friend ..I appreciate your kind words ..By the way your guitar playing is very good....Rock on in Sweden

Rocket

[grimobo]

there's something wrong with how this guy talks or sings. good guitar playing but the speech defects make for difficult embarrassing viewing. i know one's meant to be terribly polite and tolerant but ... it's uncomfortable. why be polite about musical attempts that make one uneasy?

the lishping ruins it.

[Ottawarocket]

Sorry you don't like how I talk or sing, but its the voice that God gave me, I can't help that and besides you don't have to listen if you don,t want to, I hate making people feel uncomfortable

Rocket

[mordentimes54]

Thanks for this song Rob.

I love the song.

You do it so well.

All my children are moved out.

Miss them all.

But like you say Its the friends you

meet along the way.

Thanks for all you do.

[Ottawarocket]

hey thanks Art..it comments like yours and friends like you that make it worthwhile for me..Right on Bro

Rob

[rockabillyotis]

This site is fabulous. Glad I happened upon you! Very melodic, great dynamics. Tasteful - A slightly more sophisticated video camera would be the icing on the cake because you are really good! 5 stars from me - the camera's audio shortcomings are no reflection on you.

[Ottawarocket]

Thanks very much my friend,Means a lot comming from a talented musician like you. Have been using a better camera in my last 10 or 15 videos..still not great but better...I'm very impressed with your Buddy Holly band..I'd like to share one of your videos with my subscribers ..Just let me know what video you want me to send out ..because they are all good : ) Thanks again for your comment I really appreciate it : )

Wow what a great rendition of a great song. I've known this song since the 70's. Wasn't until I saw Tom Rush play it that I was able to figure out the chords and picking.

[Ottawarocket]

Thanks very much. It's always been one of my favorite songs. I love Tom Rushes version..the version and chords I am doing here sort of resembles Murray Mclauchlans second recording of the song..Just sort of though lol

Rocket

Hug accepted! Thanks very much Mark

Rocket

[buckelastard]

I can relate to this song Rocket...I left home on my own at 15. And I been working ever since. From a teenager to a man at 15 was a rough road. But I stuck it out and I sure would'nt recommend that for kids today. I see 15 yr olds today and wonder how could I have thought I was grown up at that age. But I did join the Navy 2 years later at 17. Anyways, cool song Rocket! Thanks!

[Ottawarocket]

Thanks for your very interesting comment Big R. It must have been very tough being on your own at that age. To me a 15 year old is still a kid..I'm glad it worked out for you Bro, and you tunrned into the great guy that you are.

Rob

[ftele]

~What a feeling I get from listening to this...I'm about ready to cry here Rob...what a powerful performance...gets me thinkin about my two teenage sons...~~

[Ottawarocket]

wow thanks Hal thats an awesome compliment my friend. Its one of my favorite songs..not easy being young..or getting older for that matter : )

Rob

[lanemergess]

Very nice song man. Wow, I certainly can relate to this one, in every way. Your stuff has moved me, I cannot say that I'd expected this on youtube, but it's quite inspiring and uplifting, for sure. Keep it up! You have an ability of telling the stories so sweetly. Peace, APB@ Sick Licks

Rob

[songsbymikedotnet]

i have never heard this song, but it's a good one. your style is very relaxed and intimate, like your singing for someone in the room with you... i don't know if that makes sense...but i like it! good stuff!

[Ottawarocket]

Yes it does make sense to me Mike, If I am singing to more than a few people it make me very nervous lol. Thanks for the compliment my friend.

Rob

[MonkeylessJohn]

Beautiful song !!!So real and true !!! You have performed it wonderfully !!!

[Ottawarocket]

Thanks very much John, I appreciate it my friend.

Rocket

[TeamCannabis]

This song speaks volumes,and you do it sooo well,thks again.I saw Murray,seems like 30 yrs ago,at Ont. Place and became a true believer,great songsmith.

[Ottawarocket]

Thanks TeamCannabis, I saw Murray for the first time 32 years ago when I was in High School, National Arts Centre in Ottawa. When he sang this song alone on stage I was pinned to my seat, He was singing about what was real and with so much heart. Murray will always be one of the best songwriters in my books.

Rocket

[TeamCannabis]

Rocket.Thanks again!A little story for ya,years ago, Murray lived in the "village" with some friends.He'd spend hours locked in the john ,just singing and writing.Stirred up alot of "crap",ya might say!

[Ottawarocket]

lol thanks for that Cannabis, I know that a lot of bathrooms have great accoustics : )  Apartment stairwells are great too : )

Rocket

[corinneiscool]

Very nice:) but on some of your other videos you tend to talk way too much, and i can't wait long enough to hear the music.

[Ottawarocket]

Thanks Corinne. lol I agree with you. Many people have told me that they like the talking. But I agree that I go on too long sometimes. I will try to keep the videos shorter in the future with less babbling :)

Rocket

[corinneiscool]

Allrighty then, you do that:) ttyl. tell me what you think of my videos.

[REDNECKPEPI64]

it's wonderful,you and burch9 featureds in other great channels!

i'm proud for you my super fratello!

I am very honored Pepi my friend. You are awesome man!

Rob

[kalidescopeeye]

[Ottawarocket]

Ah thanks so much K-Eye, I feel the music better than I can play it lol. I love your new RadioHead (Bends) cover man. It's great!

Rob

[FlyingHorseKnuckles]

I can really relate to songs about the loss of innocence. This is a lovely piece and you play it very well from your heart. You might like my song "Mountains On The Moon" with similar themes. Also, what guitar is that? It is beautiful. Jon

[Ottawarocket]

Thanks for the comment Jon I do appreciate it. I will check out your song. The Guitar is a Takamine EF261san I must say I am quite fond of the little devil : )

Rocket Rob

[LiveYourDreams005]

Great job! This song really touched me. I'm starting university next year, and a lot is going to change, but I'm not afraid. I have my mother to thank for that... Thanks Rocket.

[Ottawarocket]

Thanks Alex I'm glad you liked this song. I guess you can really relate to it at your age. I wish you all the best when you start university. Kudos to your Mother also. Judging from your new song "Fly" I would say that she raised a Talented,smart, and caring kid...And that Rocks!

Take Care

Rocket

[ParadiseEarth1]

Nice sad little song especially if heard by mothers on this mother's day. Your good mother also thought you and moulded you to become a good person. Nice to know you Bro. :)

[Ottawarocket]

Hey thanks Paradise, that was nice of you. There is no doubt that people are molded by their Mothers. Not always as molded as our Mom's would like though : )

Nice to know you also my friend.

Rob

[ParadiseEarth1]

Same feeling Bro... that is a nice sad sweet song...

[NINTHMARINE]

BRAVO...performed to perfection and that is a mighty fine guitar........C.A.

[Ottawarocket]

Wow thanks so much Christine. That really means a lot to me coming from someone like you. (who I can't hold a candle to in the talent dept) Thanks so much : )

Rob

[maukrvp]

Wow, I will admit this one got to me. I have never heard this one before and I can relate to taking those firsts steps out of childhood and into adulthood, those feelings of fear,excitement and needing to spread your wings. Now that I have two small children of my own, I'm sure I will be relating to this song in a new way several years from now. Thank you Rocket.

[Ottawarocket]

I must say that your comment touched me maukrvp. One of the best comments I ever had about a song. I think we can all relate to what you have said..Thanks my friend.

Rob
