When the Red, Red Robin Comes Bob, Bob, Bobbin' Along-Bossa

[willyleeman]

That's quite a difficult arrangement, with all the jazzy chords you throw into it. It sounds great! Gets a thumbs up from me. Nice work on the guitar, and also the vocal.

[Annettesmusic]

Love, love LOVED it! Great voice and arrangement.  Thanks for the cheer up.

[trinityhawk1]

look tokyo dude that augmented b flat sounds just fine .honey you keep that chord in there and don't you take it out you hear me?

[bersa888]

Very nice :-)

[leoup]

That was so good and light and enjoyable. Had to listen again.

Thanks,

AMAZING. Youtube never ceases to surprise me! That is one of the most beautiful versions of one of my favorite songs that I've ever heard. I've been teaching it to my two year old son, and just wanted him to see some other people singing it. Little did I know I'd find this random person who sounds like Peggy Lee meets Antonio Carlos Jobim all by herself! Well done, random youtube woman... I'll be checking out the rest of your videos.

PEACE.

[StumptownBoy]

Nice! Love the jazz guitar influence.

[guitaress1]

@StumptownBoy thanks. good name btw!

[JohnDaytonMusic]

That was great. Love your voice, it's perfect for this style!

[SJamesGray]

This is an excellent rendition!

I also first heard of the song in one of Tenshin Reb Anderson's talks.

Great job, 5 stars.

[dlpine71]

What if I've been blue

Now I'm walking through fields of flowers

Rain may glisten but still I listen for hours and hours

Oh I'm just a kid again doing what I did again

Singing a song

When the FED FED Robbin goes rob rob robbin along - FOR GOOD!

[smartbandwidth]

What if I've been unlucky

Really haven't a thing

But there's a time I always feel happy

As happy as a King!

When the FED FED Robin goes rob rob robbing along along

There'll be no more sobbin when we start singing this new sweet song

Oh wake up wake up you sleepyheads

AUDIT, AUDIT, AUDIT THE FEDS!!

Cheer up, cheer up the sun is red

Live love laugh and be happy

[smartbandwidth]

I heard a robin this morning

I'm feeling happy today

I'm going to pack my cares in a whistle

And blow them all away

[smartbandwidth]

Beautifully done!! I used to sing this song in a Barbershop quartet. The time, 1:13 min/sec corresponds to I (9) Am (14) One (655)' = 678 = 113 prime X 6. I was just called to receive and share a new version of this song yesterday with these lyrics:

[noey543]

This makes me smile! Thanks for sharing! Love this song and love how you sing and play it!!

[aeflint]

sing hallelujah come on get happy! Love it!

[MegaMoggie]

I love it! Would it be possible for you to list the chords you've used?

[robbourassaguitarist]

Great. I love this version.

I love the verse too, which would be a nice thing for you to add. You really had a great feel with your voice as well. Super changes.

Well done,

Rob

[loli030998]

wow nice =) i like it

[shellybelly999]

Beautiful! I love it as a Bossa Nova tune. I love your voice and I admire your guitar playing. (I wish I could play like that!)

[davidcrabtree]

How very lovely! Great interpretation!

[campocat]

DYNAMITE!!!

[smallmeisi]

Thank you for playing this song. I read truman capotes "The Thanksgiving Visitor" where the song is sung. Now i know the beautiful song.

Greetings from Germany!

[Fretkillr]

Nice playing and singing. This works nicely in bossa style. That's an Alvarez MSD1 mini-dread.

[MoonFae2006]

I like your voice, it sounds unique.

[nibornagrom]

Lovely!

[patatra]

thks for all the tabs !!! you change my guitarist' life! =)

[TheTokyoDude]

I really liked your treatment of this song, but there is no Bb augmented on "sweet song." The melody is an F natural. I'm sure whatever source you learned it from had it incorrect as well, as this is a common mistake. There is a video on YouTube of Ethel Merman and Perry Como and another with Susan Hayward where they sing the correct melody. I don't mean to be critical, just wanted to point out this (common) error.

[guitaress1]

HI Thanks I had heard it the other way but was not sure which was right. Do you have the sheet music?

[TheTokyoDude]

I might have the sheet music somewhere but it's pretty easy. The second four bars (which start with "There'll be no more sobbin'") are identical to the first four bars, except for the very last note which is D natural at the end of bar four and an F natural at the end of bar 8.

[guitaress1]

Thanks, Yes, it's better that way, I see. I'll have to redo it. I accidentally hit the open e string in the first line too and that's driving me nuts!

[leahpratt]

I love the bossa nova style in which you did this song.

[carol90]

i like your performance :D

[Tracyt42]

You sing that song beautifully and dedicated to a favorite teacher of mine as well.

Thank you sincerely, all around, for making my day.

[JJtheunicycleman]

I accidentally found you video, but am glad. Very nice playing and singing.

[tcmoon]

Very well done. Jolson tunes are excellent, like the style you did this..

[Bellietwo]

Not bad but cannot beat Al singing this song

[quasispace]

Thanks for this, my mother bought me this 45 record when I was about 7 years old....it was the start of my love of music that continues to this day. Great memories!

[Barakoft]

Fantastic. One of my favorite Jolson tunes. Very nice rendition.

[cjc816]

Thanks for posting this out here! My Grandmother used to sing this song all the time, so whenever we see a robin we think of her. I've been trying to teach the song to my daughter (who happens to be named after her :) ) and I couldn't find a version of it anywhere. Thanks again, great job with it!

[owlandmouse]

Fred Penner sings a great version of it on his Happy Feet album. I'm sure you can get it on Amazon.

[gostodejasmim]

Very ,very sweet!! Não conheço a gravação original mas vc fez dela um charme de bossa nova! Abraços

[hoodnumber4]

Al Jolson made some great songs, thæts for sure!

Good to see thæt great songs are not forgotten!

[guitaress1]

amarildo, I accidentally deleted your comment when I was going to reply to it. It's a very old jazz tune from the 1920s that I made into a bossa.

[classican]

bravo
