Rocket

[doctorcastille]

I'm sorry Rob, but I just wanted to hear the song - so I zipped past the talk about the weather and the walnuts when I saw that the video was 8 minutes long. I will come back later though to find out why it's so warm in Ottawa and whether I should eat walnuts. The song, by the way, was terrific my friend.

[Ottawarocket]

Thank so much Mike ..a lot of people listen to my chat and then leave when I start to sing , so I appreciate you listening to the song...Just eat a lot of walnuts and you will live forever Mike : )

What a great cover of this wonderful song !! very nice playing on the guitar and well done singing this difficult song !!

good Job man, i give it 5 big big stars !

[wizardeal]

My nuts been bouncin off the wall for years, so I know all about wall-nuts, wish they were bouncin off some girls boobs then I'd have chest-nuts! Nah, but seriously, ALL nuts are good for ya. Brazilia nuts are really good. Fresh fruits and veggies, whole grains and nuts, good stuff. Someone once asked a 100 year old man how he kept his health up. He said: "if it grows in the earth, eat it.

If man made it, don't eat it."

[onkelbuke]

still sitting here and singing with ya, love it! all my respeckt to ya bro. love ya, CHris

[willybass123]

Nice finger pickin' Rocket!!

I didn't see a beer this time.

How about a new beer "Rocket Walnut Ale" It might have great health benefits.

Love your music and persona.

keep on pickin'

Rocket

[Johnfern99]

Love the Rockeitzed version of this song! I love walnuts too, especially when they're in frosted brownies and cookies! The benefits are probably getting cancelled out by all the sugar. Oh well.

Your weather is always very similar to ours here. I'm lovin' it right now, but they say the cold is on the way.

[Ottawarocket]

Thanks John Hey I must admit that walnuts tatse better when they are embedded in frosted brownies and cookies lol..Hey still no snow here in Ottawa

Rocket

[EstebanChurches]

I'm more for roasted chestnuts, Rocket, but walnuts will do, too. With so much unemployment right now,

"Asking only workman's wages I come lookin' for a job,

But I get no offers" is 100% true. Good version!

[Ottawarocket]

This is crAZY Sven but I have never tried roasted chestnuts (putting that on my to do list) The unemployment situtation is a serious problem here in Canada also...No offers ..Thanks my friend

Rocket

[martinmusicfactory]
