Hi. I just start to see some of your videos. I really like the Viva la Vida en swing tempo and La Mer with the ukelele and i am sure i will love more videos of you.
In this case, i like it better than the "young Aznavour" and less than the "older Aznavour". For me the way Aznavour sing it the "new" slower version (around or over 3:30), when he emphasizes certain parts, or phrasing others is unbeatable. But you made one of the best covers!
Hi WillDanceAlone2U, thank you so much for your lovely comment. Yes, a lot of it rings true with me. Sorry, I never re-do my videos. The reason is that I take quite a bit of care when making them and although they more often than not fall short of perfect, they were the best I could do at the time and must stand or fall as they are. Thanks for asking though, all the best, Eric.
Hi legalrule, wow, thank you for your very kind compliment. For various reasons I don't really want to redo it but thanks for asking anyway. Who am I? lol, good question. Well...nobody, I guess, is the answer. Just an old pro finding new life in this video lark. Thanks a lot, take care and have a great Christmas. Best, Eric.
hi ukuleleric, perhaps sometime we can perform together rendering this superb song somewhere, anywhere on earth. by the way i m from malaysia a small time performer here and most of them dont even know of my existence right here in malaysia he he he
Hi kassimselamattenor, thank you so much for your comment. Maybe some day we might perform together, who knows? As for being a small-time performer, there are millions of us throughout the world who keep the time clock of show business ticking. We aren't all stars. Cheers mate, my thoughts are with you. Best wishes, Eric.
Uku: If you have looked at Ginzo's Photo-Montage of disc-covers for my "Karaoke-Bar", you have seen me in various phases of my life. But, thankfully, they pass rather quickly ...
wolf175, hi Wolf, I didn't realise before that that's you on the discs. But I know what you mean, greying moustache, receding hairline, wrinkles, God, it must be hell! Seriously though folks, this guy has a lovely voice, check him out. All the best mate, Eric.
You almost made me pee into my pants, Uku. You really ARE funny. Here, it's Sunday already. Cherry-blossoms wilting away ... Just like us. .. ;-) Cheers! Wolf
Hi Wolf, thanks for comment. Actually, that's an idea. I do have photos of myself from over the years I might upload a montage. Should be good for a laugh. Cheers, Eric.
I must say that this is quite awesome, your interpretation brings such an amazing life to this song and still manages to mantain the nostalgic feeling.
I am compelled to say that you are incredible, sir =)
Hi indigosow, thank you so much for kind comment. I'm sorry it's taken so long to reply but You Tube don't inform when comments are made any more. Eric.
Hi ratednine, thank you so much for you comment. I'm sorry it's taken so long to reply but You Tube don't inform when comments are made anymore. Eric.
Hi ginnybba, thank you for your comments. There is a saying 'you should not judge a book by its cover'. I'm afraid that applies to me as well, you would be bitterly disppointed. Eric.
Hi juniorscrp, obrigado por comment. Unfortunately I do not have sheet music. I got words and chords from internet then did my own backing. Sorry can't help. Eric.
are you sure you have retired eric?yet again very pleasant video and your voice seems to be getting stronger especially since i had that wax removed..cheers
Hi billyboggins, lol, but seriously folks, many thanks and nice of you to say so. I guess you could say my voice has taken on a kind of patina after years of singing, and I rely a lot on technique. All the best, Eric.
Hi singingkid, many thanks. Checked out your vids and I reccommend to anybody reading this to check them out too! This guy is fantastic. All the best, Eric.
EXCELLENT!!
