Up Where We Belong - COCKER HAPPY

[tenor2792]

Great song and sounds Amazing !!!

[sproutcentral]

@tenor2792 Thanks very much Christopher. Have a great weekend my friend ;-))

[andana23]

Excellent job of Cocker Happy, Dave!

and I like the balloon pics too!!

I wonder why Joe Cocker didn't reply your calls.... what an ungrateful person!!

[sproutcentral]

@andana23 Thanks Ana. Not sure what Joe's problem is...I didn't get a Christmas card from him either ;-((

[BluTrilobite]

Wow....good job! And what a neat collection of hot-air balloons too!

[sproutcentral]

@BluTrilobite Thanks mate...I searched high and low for those balloons, but mainly high...lol

[6sx6]

graet cover DAVE , bee good see ya mate

[sproutcentral]

@6sx6 Cheers Wayne...thanks mate ;-))

[marycigarettes]

i know someone who played guitar for joe cocker at the woodstock festival in the 60's..they were so high he can't remember it...lucky they filmed it!...i love those balloon shots.

[sproutcentral]

@marycigarettes Thanks mate. Seeing the movie of Woodstock was one of the things that inspired me to get into music. I read a biography of Joe Cocker a few years back and he doesn't remember much of that time either...who would have thought? lol

[5WE11]

Sproutacus , you are so funny Dave, have a great time and stay tuned to my sneakymusik channel for a monsta new song with Dani, my new guitar wonder player !! Cheers pal

[sproutcentral]

@5WE11 Salutations Waynacus. Hope you're having a good weekend. I look forward to your collab with Dani ;-))

[SneakyTechno]

@sproutcentral she is having probs uploadin , There must be dropouts on the commection, I suppose it only takes a second and the whole thing has to start agin, they reckon google chrome has a bck up facility, but i aint going there, they are allready collecting too much info on us, its fkin scary to thinh of the info they have allready, all they got from me is a bogus postcode and an email adress, YEs I know thats all they need , but I aint voluteering LOL

[georgiagirl003]

DAVE!!!!!!!!!!

What a fantastic song & video!!! It made me think of my balloon ride last October. Well, maybe not that LAST balloon picture! Where does one go to find pics of X-rated hot air balloons? :)) xoxo

[sproutcentral]

@georgiagirl003 Thanks so much Emma. Glad you saw this...I was thinking of you (and your birthday balloon ride) when I put this together. I think there's even a hot air beagle balloon in there somewhere...and as for the last one...not sure what or who I was thinking...lol.

Dave xxx

[georgiagirl003]

@sproutcentral

I DID see the beagle balloon! :))) Looks a lot my Lily girl... but it's MUCH quieter than her!

[dominikaschwager]

[TheDarkAlargh]

Great cover Dave! What did he drink to get such a voice like Joe? LOL!

Have a great day mate!

[sproutcentral]

@TheDarkAlargh Thanks Tom. I have a photo of the band on stage and there's a bottle of Johnnie Walker next to my drum kit and I wasn't drinking it so it must have been George...lol.

[oldstrat1]

Hi Sprout

This was a great recording, plenty of vocal power and George captured the very essence of Joe.

Nicely done.

Best wishes

Mark :)

[sproutcentral]

@oldstrat1 Thanks Mark. I don't know how George used to do it...he could sing for hours doing Joe's voice.

All the best, Dave ;-))

[Kittielips]

Stop being so cocky, and I'll visit your balloons whenever I wish to do so.

Joeking apart; I've a tale ter tell you about 'ot hair balloons!

Jennie. X.

[sproutcentral]

@Kittielips Can't wait to hear your story...I bet it was a real cockup !!!

Sprout x

[Kittielips]

@sproutcentral

Let's put it this way; I certainly cocked the evening up, that's for sure! Talk about 'hot air;' it din't come into it!! I never fail to deflate an atmosphere! I don't even have to try; it just 'appens.

Jennie. x.

Jo Cocker used to shake his arms like he was being electrocuted... lol

Belushi did a good Joe Cocker !!

Great vid Dave. It brought it all back to me.
