I agree with you about not singing like Marx, but if the rest of this is YOU, then you are one awesome musician! Hats off to you, man! You're doing things I'd love to be doing! Man...
i came across this video yesterday while i was with my mother for mother's day and i know she likes this song so i played it...her and i both agreed that you do this song very well, on a scale of 1 to 10 i'd have to say definite 10, good job!!
Hey Rod - welcome to YT. The drums, bass, and all keyboard sounds are from the old Technics FN-3 keyboard I picked up a few years ago. The bass automatically follows the computerized chords, I just press a few buttons and keys.
Hi Molly - THANKS! I guess I'm starting to get the hang of these old tape machines - now I have to work on a decent video lol. I know you're bombarded with videos, thanks for checking it out.
Thanks Sonya - I wish I could do that 'voice in overdrive' thing he does, but that's not going to happen lol. I just have to stay within my limited range. I'm glad you approve (your check is in the mail lol).
Thanks Bob - again, I lost some clarity when I converted this - None of my programs recognize the Sony Vegas audio file, so I had to convert it twice.
Thanks Tom. High tech?? It's a 25 year old reel to reel lol. I was just determined to get something down with 4 or more tracks on this machine. The cam vids are way easier after trying this. Just experimenting with sound.
Oh this is just fabulous. I do know this song but had forgotten it - how wonderful to hear it again and what a great production!! Another for my Vlog.

waited pationally for the octave modulation in the bridge but it didn't come. Anyways this is superb.

Hey Jim,
This is fantastic..
If I'm 100% honest - I prefer your voice over Marxs'.. You have the kinda voice I could listen to all day.
I thought you did a great job!
