FOR THE LONGEST TIME (Billy Joel Cover)

[BeatleSongPlayer]

Hey Dave, I was going through my saved favorites and hadn't heard this one in a long time. This is so good I don't have the words to describe it, and yet it got 178 views????????????? This is why I gave up on YT. Unless you're a 16 year old girl shaking your ass, what's the point. I hope you are doing well. Jimmy

[fredthejunkman]

@BeatleSongPlayer - thanks Jimmy... good to hear from you. I agree, unless you're a chick or some kid who can shred, it's pretty much pointless. However there a few out there who appreciate the time and effort put into these songs. I do it just to keep from losing my mind - or what's left of it anyway.

[Escagedo3rd]

great pipes Dave. This is an all time favorite. The layers...the layers..awesome!

[fredthejunkman]

@Escagedo3rd - thanks for the kudos Eloy....yep, it took a little time to layer all of the vox.

[batmankozyy]

Wonderful, Dave!!! It is a song with various memories for me!

[fredthejunkman]

@batmankozyy -Thanks for listening my friend!

[deanb92]

Fantastic! Welllll Done!

[fredthejunkman]

@deanb92 - Thank you bro Dean!

[BeatleSongPlayer]

Hey Dave, this is outstanding, supreme, excellent etc...........BSP

[fredthejunkman]

@BeatleSongPlayer - Thanks Jimmy! What's goin' on in your world?

[BeatleSongPlayer]

@fredthejunkman Hey Dave, I'm doing fine thanks. Just flying under the radar. You really nailed this one!!!!!!!!

[fredthejunkman]

@BeatleSongPlayer - Thanks again Jimmy. Are you still playing?

[BeatleSongPlayer]

@fredthejunkman @fredthejunkman Yeah, but I'm getting very picky. Our next gig is from noon to 4 pm so I'm not going to do that one ( I don't go to bed 'till 6 or 7 in the morning). The one after that is in Williamsburg, Va, which is a 100 mile round trip, so I won't be doing that one. I still play my acoustic at home, but as far as the band goes, 20 years seems to be long enough. If they book one close, like in my backyard, I'll do it!!!!--If the money is right. Keep posting your great songs!!

[STUDIOCHINCHAN]

Hi Dave, great singing as usual. Loved the harmonies and your "one man band ".

Great rendition ( wished I could sing like you ) .

[fanoguitar]

[CAVERN1234]

outstanding performance Dave brilliant

[MrJimdeb]

Well worth the wait....

[MrJimdeb]

Genius! Man this is great. Love the harmonies, loved the bass line, and loved that final note (sounded like a maj7 to me). Instruments all sounded great. This may be your best. Jim

[fredthejunkman]

@MrJimdeb -Thanks so much bro Jim....the only instruments were the bass and the brush snare. I don't know if the last note was a maj7 or an augmented 5th! :-)

[MrJimdeb]

@fredthejunkman With all the great/full harmonies it sounds like a whole band of instruments. And, yes, Maj7.

[fredthejunkman]

@MrJimdeb Thank you Jim. It was just something I heard in my head and that's how it came out.
