LoL, you got me! Funny, I was playing a club around the first of the year and during a break a guy comes screamin' up to me all excited and he says something like "Man, I'm from Michigan and I loved GFR I didn't know anyone outside of Michigan ever heard of them, do you know any other GFR tunes?!!!!!!" I said well....as it happens I sure do! Thanks for watching my vid, Michael T

[Inky261]

good 5*

[DsmB2007]

That's a great rendition Michael..!! =)

[readyeddy101]

You have a very good voice. mark Farnham is note easy to sing. I sing Footstompin' Music in my band and it took me a while to get the vocals (sep making sure I started on the correct key). GF is great stuff and you were awesome in this video. Good guitar playing as well. Easy 5 stars from me.

[FlipsDream]

Hi Nick, as you may know; I always hafta check out the people that review my work before I reply or comment. Geeeez man, you've honored me beyond all reason. Coming from a talent like you, your comment about my stuff was golden. Thanks more than you will ever know. I'm on my way to subsribe to your channel right now. Wishing you well brother, Michael T.

[readyeddy101]

Your ranking etc was very well deserved. You have a claming but powerful voice and very well on key. i was exteemly impressed by your crazy love video. You are very talented playing all of the instuments and dubbing in harmonies. I look forward to hearing more of you high quality performances, Nick

[karaokewoman4life]

It's been a while since visiting your channel.... I really enjoyed this and am in awe that you kept the same vocal level throughout the song... Great job!!!  jackie

[FlipsDream]

Jackie, I wrote this reply and when I came back it was gone. Anyway.. Flattery will get cha everywhere with me :o) While it is more difficult for me to have the kind of air and breath control we singers need, the older n fatter I get; I wish I could take the credit for the sound level but, we've changed our road show setup these days and believe it or not there are two guys 50 feet in front of me on the board that deserve all the credit for levels, Aaron and Rocket. But thanks sweety, Michael T.

[baldyholly79]

My friend, i have the upmost respect for your musical capabilities and raw vocals, wow, what energy!!!! This is a sensational cover.

[FlipsDream]

Jamie, it is out of my genuine and deep respect for your talent and body of work here on YT that I say the thing that I believe is most appropriate for your comment: Thank you my friend, Michael T

Rocket

[mcurren2004]

That was really great! But I thought I'd worn the Golden Nugget out 20 years ago! Good to see someone in my old stompin' grounds. Thank you for inviting me. Mary

[FlipsDream]

Hi Dianne, Thank you so much for your gracious, flattering comment. Yes, I came to YouTube to create a site to allow potential bookings to audition me. Over a short time, I've met some of the most wonderful people I've ever known that are YouTube regulars, themselves. It is just a neat place I've begun to check out your channel and in time I'll try to see all your videos. Here's wishing you all the best, Michael T

[mommarox2]

Hi Michael, very nice to meet you, I see we enjoy some of the same friends and music. I love GFR and really enjoyed your cover.that was awesome singing hun

endless starz

[imafishgod]

Micheal T~ Amazing!! Always enjoyed this tune... your version is superior to the original & not 21 Captains long!!! Perfection,dear.. Sheer Perfection! ***** Love Paula (and say hi to Megan & Martha Stewart for me!!!) :)

[FlipsDream]

Paula, you are simply the bestus!! Perfection, indeed well I know this much, you're the only person I know that could tell if it's even headed in that direction because you are perfection personified. :o) You and Rob have been on my heart for weeks now. I owe him a reply to a comment he made, but I'll suffer the wrath for the delay before I write anything less than describing how much what he said meant to me, and him puttig my vid on his channel. I'm indebtted to you both Paula, Michael T

[Cliffbrock]

5 stars ---I saw you on the Alcove show. --:)Rod

[FlipsDream]

Hi Mr. Rod! Thanks a lot for the rate. Yes I don't know what's happened to Larry, I tried to write to him but he hasn't responded, I sure hope he's ok. Us white-haired guys gotta stick together ;o) I've never told him, but after checking out your channel...even though I live in Alaska now, I was born in Texas and lived in Georgia and Alabama for many years. I'm a refugee from the heat but darn if it didn't almost hit 80 here today! Take care brother, Michael T

[bulbheadmyass]

Fantastic job, Michael, I love your version. --Jan

Hi Catherine, thank you so much for your kind and generous comment. I tried to subscribe to your channel but I couldn't figure out how to do it. I am YouTube impaired :o) I hope we can be friends, Michael T

[harleyhawgn]

Hey Michael, you did a great job on this song. I enjoyed this one alot, and thanks for posting and sharing it. C.W.

[FlipsDream]

Hi Mr. C.W.! I am honored that a YouTube Star such as yourself would take the time to review my work, and overwhelmingly flattered with your opinion. I want you to know that I know you've been a busy bee, and even if I don't comment I watch and rate almost all of them. I wish you well Sir, Michael T

[BradfordandLasso]

nice job Flip! always loved this GFR song.

I got to see them back in the day.

5 *****

Paul

[FlipsDream]

Hi Paul! Man you gotta know your opinion means a lot to me, I appreciate your kind comment. LOL "Back in the day" When I was 14 we had a classmate that was prematurely, mature. So he had a heavy beard, arm, chest, just a hairy guy. GFR played somewhere in the Raleigh-Durham area and he made himself up a little "Rollin' Stone Magazine" badge and some other pseudo credentials and was able to get in the backdoor! LOL Cya on the trail, Michael T

[sherrilynn115oo]

Michael, this is awesome my friend! I love this song! You sound absolutely awesome! The picture is soooo clear too! Love ya!!

[FlipsDream]

Sherri babydoll!!!! You guys slipped off and went south on me :o) LOL I told someone last night: "I bet you won't catch me wearing light color pants again until I lose 50 pounds, I look like a beached whale up there"! :o) Thank you so much for sharing a little of your joy with me. Hope to ttys Michael T

[uncledave10]

Great job Michael T :o)tm *****

[FlipsDream]

Hi UncleDave!  Thanks for taking your valuable time to check me out and comment, and thanks for the update on sailing. I don't know why I always just thought of you as living in California. Take good care, Michael T

[sherrywine1941]

Hi Michael..Outstanding Performance !! I totally enjoyed. (5*) Sherry

Thanks for sharing this with me, my friend.

[FlipsDream]

Sherry!!!!! I know I replied to your comment within the past hour and now it is gone!!!! I am sooooooo YouTube dysfunctional!!! Anyway....Thank you so much for your flattering comment. You always bring a smile to my face and joy to my heart when I see your screen name or think of your smiling face. Your constant friend, Michael T

[ERICROBILLARD1]

good job!

[FlipsDream]

Thanks Eric, that means a lot coming from a talent like you. Michael T

[Inky261]

i came to look at your channel page.

[FlipsDream]

Thank you Christie.  Yes I know you are a YouTube Star :o) But you are a bigger star in my heart, you are so kind to me. Take good care, Michael T

[Inky261]

i don`t feel like a star. if you keep at it the channel grows almost by itself....

[FlipsDream]

I understand. Believe me, you are. A bright, shining very special star. Every time I think of you, I see it shining from you. You are very special Christie. Michael T

[Inky261]

you have done very good!!! 5*

[FlipsDream]

Thank you so much Christie. You must know your time and comments are important to me. Did YouTube send this to you, or did you just stumble on it? I never know if I should send them to people on pm's or not? Thank you again Christie, you are kind and generous, Michael T

[Inky261]

I came to look at your page. was an "accident".

basically you can send a pm to all your contacts. it works.

but: i have more tham 1000 subs and that is too many emails to check through.

but for smaller accounts pm works good.

[FlipsDream]

Hi Jackie! Long time no see, :o) Thank you for your gracious comment, coming from a star like you, it really means something. I am blushing :o) What has happened to Larry?!!!!! I had to add his other channel and I can't pm him???!!! I sure hope all is well with you all. BTW, the video here got much better after it finished processing (not that it will ever be anything to write home about). I'm gotta go check out your channel I know you've posted something since I've last seen you, TC Michael T

[karaokewoman4life]

Fantastic performance!!  Sounds great!! jackie
