Eagles - Desperado

[deerhunter8859]

TALENT!!!!! You are amazing! My wife and I are huge Eagles fans. You did them justice my friend.

[kikoilem]

Great piano and great voice! You sang it very well. Bravo!

[jjihciuy]

GodGodGod

[stevo1357911]

this really makes me wanna learn piano...

[nathansh87]

thank you. i needed to hear this song tonight and i needed to hear it from you exactly how you did it. loved it.

[texasrebel98]

clint black is 9999999999 times better

[keysB3P]

I must say that is the very best I have ever heard the song played/sang besides the Eagles, I'm a long time keyboardist and drummer/vocalist, your vocals and playing was as well as I am capable of although I am not able to post for reasons. Very, very impressive, I do hope you are in great band who compliments your talents.

[CMSAllen]

You'll never know how God has used you tonight. IT HAS TAKEN....

****6 years of heroin addiction...

****$83,000.....

****6 hours in my living room with one

massive & strategically planned intervention..

****And my 14 year old daughter stumbling across this video of you, and setting her phone on the coffee table for our hopeless family to listen to

AND MY SON SURRENDERED.

He is on a plane headed to treatment.

On behalf of my entire family in Carolina,

We thank you.

[jdhigdon1]

[deerhunter8859]

@CMSAllen Wow....It's one month later and I just stumbled across this video along with your story...PLEASE tell me the progress is good. I wish you and yours love, hope, promise and everything that is positve!!! Even people who you don't know are praying hard for you. :)

[axel91370]

You have a very beautiful voice man.

[flaverotti]

I like the country style you've got going on and the smooth vibratto in your voice. You've made the song yours dog...I hope Simon Cowell has seen this clip.

[jdhigdon1]

@flaverotti Thanks a lot! Simon Cowell probably wouldn't like me though lol

[flaverotti]

Nice job buddy...if you ever get down to New Zealand, look me up.

[MrAzdigs]

nice mate...i am a dancer....you can't believe how many renditions of this song don't move me,

my feet that is...yours does! best to you!

[jdhigdon1]

@MrAzdigs thank you so much! that means a lot! please check out my FB page for more tunes. keep in touch!

[eagle989]

Brilliant cover mate :) I'm 18, big fan of The Eagles and I can safely say, that you've done bloody good lol. I'm an experienced singer and a not-so-experienced pianist and I know the chords to this are really easy but to play them in the order that they are is pretty difficult, I've only tried it twice but I will keep trying until I'm as good as this :)

[jdhigdon1]

@eagle989 thanks!!!! keep it up ! keep in touch! 

[MrHano2013]

You sing it wonderfully .. Thanks for playing.

Maybe the piano has a little too much bass for a good sounding MP3,

Still I enjoyed it immensly .. (a recording freak) ..

Hano

[jdhigdon1]

@MrHano2013 thanks! well this was recorded with just a digital camera and no recording equipment or mics other than the built in one on the camera. so I couldn't control the bass. and also the piano I'm playing is a C9 so its VERY boomy. :) thanks so much for listening! keep in touch!

[BiggestEagleFan]

You did a good job my friend. Thanks!

[jdhigdon1]

@BiggestEagleFan thank you!!!!!

[blakekoz11]

i can't tell if i like this or the original better. This is amazing! "Don't your feet get cold in the winter time" is by far my favorite part in the song when you sing it!

[jdhigdon1]

@blakekoz11 thanks!!!!  that is a powerful part of the song for sure. keep in touch!

[MrMan055]

Awesomeness!!!

[euroman32589]

great version...dump the "props"..behind you....wayyy to many pianos..

[AngelDream12]

@euroman32589 Ever thought he was in a piano shop?

[jdhigdon1]

@AngelDream12 thanks!

[jdhigdon1]

@euroman32589 "Props"??? i was in a piano store. I actually like the pianos in the background anyway :) They let me go in there and record and actually sold a piano from me sitting and playing the piano before they closed the store for me to record these. Very nice people at this store. Thanks!

[euroman32589]

@jdhigdon1 ..i know mate..not good to see any store close in these times.... peace

[euroman32589]

@jdhigdon1 ..cheers for the upload.
