All your music is Priceless and i can't begin to imagine it not being and an important part of my life.....GOD bless you....ione marie.........And your right, can't listen without singing along, thank GOD nobody can hear me singing.....lmao:)
Larry...This is a favorite tv theme of mine and until the day you did this, i never heard anyone sing it as well as the tv one...Well you changed that for me, as you have with a lot of songs...Your voice flows so damn sweetly through every word...It makes me think of the mid 80's when i was a teenager and thought i had life all figured out...(what a joke...lol)..I love the original and i love your version...Your music is hard to describe..But know this.(cont'd)
Larry.....One of the best 70's shows and theme songs....I love when i can see an episode...It's not just that this is a good theme song, it puts you in a mood...I don't care whether it makes you think of your hometown and younger days or simply makes you feel sentimental, it is going to do something to you ...And this cover...Well, who can capture the feeling or mood of a song better than you?...Answer:NOBODY......now i have to go listen to your hawaii five-o cover...ione marie
great singing and playing spot on ,can u make a video showing how to play this song , slowly chord by chord and naming the chord . your opinion i use a rubberband to strenghthen my fingers by wrapping it around in different ways to get them stronger.is that good? ty 4 the song that brings back memories.peace.
Normally, I hate covers on YouTube but your version is fantastic and sounds very much like the original. This is such a great song that is rarely heard on the radio today which is a shame. I remember watching Kotter when I was very small.
I'm going to make this as clear as I can... they need to put this back on TV, asap! When I was younger, maybe 10 or 11 years old, I remember that Nick at Nite had a block party summer where they played a block of shows every weeknight, and I think it was Friday, it was Welcome Back Kotter night, either 4 or 6 episodes of Kotter every Friday night, all summer. Loved it! Now all we get is stupid ass Jersey Shore or 16 and Pregnant. What a wasteland entertainment has become.
Such a reflective song. Pure genius. Brings tears full of nostalgia to my eyes..gone are the 70's feelings of realism, real love for your fellow man and the sense of hope where communities came together to help each other out...the world has changed so much. Thank you John Sebastian, the song still means a great deal to me, all these years on..
I tell you what podine. i havent been playing very good at poker lately. but that song fixes everything for me. very soothing and calming. welcome back my poker game!!! im done posting now the song is over. check back in soon
Thanks for posting your version on Welcome Back. You sound REAL good! I'm playing some class reunions this month and I thank you for helping me learn how to play this song.
So Awesome, my young life was with this theme song! That is how my school and neighborhood were like. I even went to work for TV studios. Thank you !!! So sweet!
I am in my upper 50's, and I have been, for several years, so nostalgic for the 70's. The times weren't really all that good - Viet Nam, Nixon, prison riots - but I loved music like this and I loved my 20's.
Larry...HELL YA!!!!.....just like eman, i loved this show...and with the black and white and the subtleness in your voice, you've captured that 70's vibe, just like you did with your Mary Tyler Moore one.....Im gonna go listen to partridge family and one day at a time theme.....Thanks for the smile you brought me:)......ione marie
Oh what have l missed....please, Larry you MUST bring back the MTM and Patridge Family themes.....ahhhh.....this is SOOOoooo great!!!!! Pretty pleassssse!!!!!! ...for those of us that missed them the first time around !!!
how to fuck do you dislike this? some people are just stupid I guess. BRAVO!
