[jayrbee60]

Thank you!  That it is, and its hard to see the small font when reading because it goes so darn fast! (I know, excuses, excuses) Thanks for watching!

[MonkeylessJohn]

Beautiful performance on this!!!! This is one of my favourite covers that Dan has done, and you have done Dan proud with this cover of his cover!!!!

Loved this a lot!!!!

[jayrbee60]

Thank you so much for your kind comment, I wasn't sure if I would be banned or not, but I really felt moved to do something, so sometimes I just "barge in" and say let me play! That's something I learned from growing up with an older brother!

[MonkeylessJohn]

Hey!!! You are absolutely more than welcome to come in as often as you want. There is no banning allowed on my site !!!

John

[jayrbee60]

And I thank you ever so kindly!

[jayrbee60]

Thank you kind sir! Oh - I did enjoy the Bobby Sands video you sent. Gotta admire a guy like that - who is willing to stand up for his convictions to the death.

[jayrbee60]

Thanks Andy! Its actually a cover of a cover. If you haven't been to coolanddark's channel, grab a beer and spend some time there! He has some awesome songs that he has written!

[dannyknapp]

I don't think anybody wants to tangle with you man, lol ! I think this is Dan's most viewed video too. I like your job, you whistle good too !

[jayrbee60]

Thanks danny! lol, I can play a song 15 times perfectly, then when the cam comes on I screw it up. Grrr, it gets rather exasperating at times. Love your posts too! Been a bit behind in commenting though (sorry).

[ilovemaniototo]

I did enjoy this haven't heard it for ages thanks for singing. Did Burl Ives sing it?? Carol x

[jayrbee60]

Thank you! Yeah, when I was just a young'un, I always thought the snowman on Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer sang this song. Turns out the snowman was really Burl Ives voice. My Dad had an old album of Burl's that I listened to way back when.
