"Way Over Yonder" by Ron & Mike Ireland

[RussianBreadmaker]

When I was young, I was good friends with Mike and I have fond memories of sleep overs at the Ireland household. Ron would pull out one of his many guitars and blow our minds and ears with his talent. Great people!

[suuzzee5]

@RussianBreadmaker Thanks so much for leaving this lovely and personal comment. I forwarded it to Ron to make sure he sees it. Thanks again!

I love it when two musicians get in sync and something like this comes out of it. And I'm beginning to have a new level of appreciation for the songs of Woody Guthrie.

Who's the boy with the frog in his mouth? Friend of yours? :-)

Aloha from Hawaii,

Thomas

[suuzzee5]

@kiaweking Aloha Thomas. Thanks so much for your kindness and for your comments here.  Woody Guthrie's music has all the charm and heart a body could ever need. I love Ron and Michael's version of "Way Over Yonder." They are both so very talented and I hope they will record more songs together. Boy with frog = representation of how I imagine Ron might have been at that age. lol

[coolanddark]

That Billy Bragg album of songs he made up using forgotten lyrics by Woody is FANTASTIC!! And Suze!! You are a video production wizard!!!

[suuzzee5]

@coolanddark Hi Dan, thanks so much for your feedback. I love this song, and Ron and Mike's version is the best I've heard. As for video making, thanks a whole big bunch. Wish the day job wasn't necessary - I'd love to work with cameras all the time.

[doctorcastille]

Suze, this was terrific. I liked it so well I ripped the audio for my mp3 player. I know I will need to hear it a bunch more times. The video was perfect for the song as well.

xx mike

[suuzzee5]

@doctorcastille Hi Mike, thank you thank you thank you! You're such a fine musician yourself - your opinion means a lot. I've listened to your and Clint's music since my earliest days on youtube, and I just sent your link to Ron a few days ago. This video came about because I flipped out when I first heard this recording. It is quite simply The Best Version of ''Way Over Yonder'' that I ever heard. Thanks again, so much! Hugs, Suze

[ottlakerambler]

Nice song, nice images, nice editing. Where's the five ***** button?

[suuzzee5]

@ottlakerambler Hi Dave - Thanks for the kind words. I think we're stuck with a thumbs-up button. That's all we get these days. Hope you're doing well. Still making that wonderful music? Suze

[suuzzee5]

@CharmedQuarkZ99 Thanks, Richard. I agree with her too. I absolutely adore this rendition by Mike and Ron. So cool!

[nllleonard]

What a beautiful video! I think I have already commented, but must say again that I love it! I can see what you mean Suze, about it sticking with you. Lovely song!

NAncy

[suuzzee5]

@nllleonard Thanks again, Nancy. I listen to this song all the time. It's just the best version I ever heard! Wish Ron and Mike would make some more music together. Glad to hear new music from you. Love your latest song! Suze

[reliablebow]

Love this song....wonderful video Suze! Love the dancing light in the trees and on the water....You've captured the wistfullness....flyin' away now.....will light again

[suuzzee5]

@reliablebow Hi Michael, thank you so much! When wonderful musicians such as yourself find enjoyment in the music and the images, it makes me very happy. My videos are just vehicles to carry the song to new listeners, but they are truly fun to make. It's always the song that matters. Gosh, but I do love good music! Hugs, Suze

[lemonostiftis]

great work from every contributor of this video

[suuzzee5]

@lemonostiftis Thanks so much. You know I value your opinion so much. You're one of my favorite film makers on YT and I love it when you drop by and leave a comment. Peace ~ Suze

[CerebralJam]

Beautiful, beautiful song, singing, playing and video - :)

I love how you matched the imagery up... the song seems so uplifting in tempo and vocally and your images are light and positive too.

[suuzzee5]

@CerebralJam Thanks for your kindness here and also for your lovely personal message. I love Ron's music and think he and his son Mike did a fantastic job with this great old tune.

[suuzzee5]

Thanks so much... greatly appreciated! This video was so much fun today!

[karlmahlmann]

This is the best interpretation I've heard of this song. Absolutely terrific. Now it's stuck in my head.

[suuzzee5]

Thanks for stopping in and leaving a comment. I quite agree with you. Ron and Mike sound just awesome together. Their solo music is also incredible. Suze

[PhilippineJeann]

That was a beautiful video...love it...

Jeann

[suuzzee5]

Thanks so much. Ron and Mike did a beautiful version of this beloved song. The video was a joy to do.

[VooDooU22X]

boo hoo sniff sniff , ....mwaaaaa !!!  :)

[suuzzee5]

:) I need to come over to your place and hear your new video. Thanks for sending me notice of it. I always check out your new stuff because I love your music but have had strep throat and haven't been hanging out in video land very much this week. I always love your music, Rich! x

[PhilippineJeann]

Now this is a very nice song.. This has a very good tune also... Jeann

[suuzzee5]

It's wonderfully done, I agree. Ron and Mike did an awesome job.

[profwaldo]

Just re-visiting where this tune takes me, it's a very nice place. Thank you. :))

[suuzzee5]

Thanks so much for stopping in again. I love the song also and listen to this version often. Love the harmonies and guitar Ron and Mike did.

[jeffstunes]

It is a good performance, but you should also take some credit fro creating a good and relevant video to accompany it :)

[suuzzee5]

Well, thank you, kind sir! Making music videos is what I love to do. But the videos always rest atop the music. Always. I know that modern TV reverses that process, but I never will. A crappy song is a crappy song is a crappy song. :)

[VooDooU22X]

I wish I was a goose !

[suuzzee5]

What makes you think you aren't one? (Sorry.... lol) Love ya, Rich! x

[VooDooU22X]

@suuzzee5  : (

[suuzzee5]

Rich, hon.... teasing you ONLY. Did not mean to hurt your feelings! I apologize! I would also love to be a bird also, any bird. To be able to fly and see the world from there..... to be able to walk with my wings on the air.... oh my! x

[useryug]

Really nice to watch on my Friday morning here, Suze. The big birds in flight is some good footage, - I thought I was flying with them... and Spring will be here pretty soon!

Great song, musicians, recording, top stuff as usual!

Nice work by all. Visuals perfect for the song.

Thanks so much, Lance. Greatly appreciated!

[CurtisMateer]

Oh yes, this is a very fine song. Even Woody's left overs are great. And Wilco were peeking back when this came out. Cool place too.

[suuzzee5]

Always loved this song and especially the Irelands' version of it. Glad you also enjoyed. It's always wonderful to hear from you! Suze

[classican]

Thank you for a wonderful post.

Chris

[manriq47]

God bless the hands behind the instruments and the eye behind the lens. Great audio/visual trip. All the best. ~ Mark

[suuzzee5]

Thanks so much, Mark. When a marvelous musician such as yourself has this nice a thing to say, it truly means a lot. Humbled.... Suze

[profwaldo]

Once again you combine Great video with Great music ! NICE Suze !!! Thanks !

[suuzzee5]

Hi profwaldo, so good to hear from you! Thanks for your kind words here. The video always rests atop the music, and the music has to inspire the visual images. It's a pure joy when musicians of the Irelands' caliber allow me to work with one of their songs. Hope you're staying warm way up there in the frozen north.

[sun21760flower]

..wow! GRAET performance -

and a fav!

5/5

best

SUN :)

[suuzzee5]

Thanks for your kind words.  Also for the fav and all those stars. So very glad you enjoyed the music! Suze

[cadwalladee]

You're right, Suze - this one's a beauty and your video suits it perfectly well!

[suuzzee5]

Glad you enjoyed! I just love Mike and Ron's version of this song and lost count long ago how many times I've listened to it in the past year. I'm wishing for more music by them, of course... :)

[losthills]

Great song and a great video. Very nicely done.

[suuzzee5]

Thanks so much. Always a pleasure to see you.

[anmoose]

Suze, you're on a roll! This is superb. I love the vibrance these two give to this song. It's personality is changed just enough that it took a full verse for it to sink in that it was one of Woody's obscure classics. Brilliantly done!

And your video artistry catches the essence perfectly, as always.

I hope you're staying warm. How deep is the snow on the Drill Field these days? :-)

[suuzzee5]

Hi Moosie, thanks for your positive, charming comments. Ron and Mike's rendition of this song just blew the top of my head off. Never heard it done better.

Warm? What's that? Mountain got snowed in for over a week, no mail, state road scrapers got stuck, people had to snowshoe in to the house, it was awful. Blacksburg was but a distant dream... And how is Florida? Hope you are having a great winter....spring's almost here!

[suuzzee5]

Glad you're still waxing poetic. Bet you'll get great song lyrics out of some of those stanzas. They're beautiful, Richard.

[jadepntr]

Mike and Ron, beautiful song.....loved it. Suze the video is awesome....it is a story within itself.....

[suuzzee5]

I agree.... the song is beautiful. Thank you for your kindness in providing comments and feedback. Suze

[singularity64]

That was excellent! Loved the song and you did a great job on the video Suze. 5*****

Cheers

Ferdy

[suuzzee5]

Thanks so much, Ferdy. The video always rides on the music, and the music always inspires the visual images. This particular performance by Ron and Mike Ireland just knocked my socks off.

[suuzzee5]

You're one of my all time favorite musicians, Richard, so when you like something, I pay attention. Please keep sending those great song links and recording that wonderful music! Suze

[Jannen100]

Enjoyed it. Awesome collab.

[suuzzee5]

Thanks so much for the awesome comment!

[RLSguitar]

I really enjoyed this tune. Suze sis, great video work as always. God bless.-

[suuzzee5]

Hey bro... thanks so much. Always means a lot coming from a musician of your caliber. I'm not getting notices of your uploads so if I miss any new ones, please forgive. Every single song you have on your channel is a masterpiece. Low love, much respect - Suze

[ib2fast]

Love it. Very Very Good!

Awesome Good!

KUDOS & ***** all around.

[ib2fast]

By the way.

i Love the Geese, they tell a special story.

Perhaps even the whole story.

[suuzzee5]

Yes, they surely do. Please read my favorite poem, "Wild Geese" by Mary Oliver.  If we listen closely to the natural world, birds are able to tell our whole story from beginning to end.

[suuzzee5]

Thanks so very much! Always appreciate you, always good to see you. Sue

[rhopen]

Thanks for bringing all these great performances to our attention in such a great way Suze... Very beautiful shots here and I am still laughing at the kid with the frog in is mouth haha. I wlll certainly check out Ron and MIke. -Ron

[suuzzee5]

Trust me, Ron, it's entirely my pleasure! I'm happy and very honored when you musicians let me work with your music. As for the kid with the frog, I wish I could say that was one of my photos, but it isn't. That boy is the epitome of a 10-year-old boy trying to impress a girl, yes? lol

[cjthemusicman]

Love it! I'm so happy that I decided to log on briefly to see what was new! And then this great tune and singing - and cool vid - popped up. Meant to be? Of course, 'cause there ain't nobody that can sing like that! :) *****

[suuzzee5]

Hello CJ, always wonderful to see you! Thanks for stopping in and for leaving such a nice comment. Of course, it's meant to be! I've even got all your danged Canadian snow down here in my yard and I wish you'd come get it already! :P
