Very very nice? Well done it was a pleasure to listen to your version of this beautiful track I totally enjoyed your talent!

[simplegusto1]

What a talent!!! Great job sir ... Awesome piece ... I always wanted to hear this with a symphony orchestra ... But this is just way to good

[Shuggydylan]

Thanks for allowing video response through. (got to have a laugh now and then). Please feel free to remove my video response. Might not be appropriate re your video.

You play brilliantly,and with respect, to Johnny Cash. I mean no disrespect. I'm trying to make people smile. A time fro every season etc. My friend is a steel guiatr player. Gonna post you on my facebook page. DO take my video down, but have a wee laugh first. Seriously, no disrespect. I posted in haste re your excellent video.

[karateslaginnek]

This sounds like Santo&Johnny so Beautiful,thanks!

[YShattered]

This piece has to be the most beautiful piece my ears ever heard..

WOW AMAZING SIR...........Shakey

[jknoxm]

Beautifully played, unique sound and hauntingly beautiful sound.........you are the best I have ever heard, thank you so much for sharing your wonderful talent.

Hey Shakey1047.....Forgive those idiots who do not understand that a instrumental does not require the words and in many if not most cases speaks much louder than the words. Although I have only been playing steel for about 3 months under the excellent instruction of Joe Wright, I do know the real deal when I hear one and you are definatly the real deal. At 64, paralyzed from the waist down.....but with 40 yrs as a professional drummer....that I can only pray to be as good as you are.

[deLasChivas]

hands down Leona Lewis sang this song the best, it takes a women to sing it cuz of the melody, most ment can't hit the notes.

[Shakey1047]

@deLasChivas I'll go and get some singing lessons, weird that ain't it I could have sworn I was playing a steel guitar. Ah Well!!!

[deLasChivas]

@Shakey1047 ha ha ha smartone. i was really commenting in response to the people down there who said "Elvis Presley sang it the best" , "No, Johnny Cash" etc.

[theonearmedbandit1]

I love this song and have been singing it for over 40 years. Shakey1047, I hope you don't mind that I have borrowed your version as a backing track.  You play so beautifully that I couldn't resist. Where are you? I live in UK. theonearmedbandit1 .

[redfordfan123]

I think it's just great......what a gripping instrumental! Wonderful job.

[teachersrock1]

WOW! i felt it deep in my bones, how gorgeous!

[ELVISFREE1977]

ELVIS PRESLEY sang this song like no other on this planet !

[GuitarTVChannel5]

[480mckitrick]

Well done !

[YShattered]

1 million stars 4 you my friend.

[morenalevi]

Amazing!

[davnkatz]

You just showed me that the musician with the "touch" can make a steele guitar can produce emotions that rival THE HUMAN VOICE.

[mckinney54]

I sing this at karaoke and have been singing for over 20 years in public and I have never heard a more beautiful version. Thank you for the chance to hear it

[Shakey1047]

Oh really!

[AdamG319]

you should hear mary travers sing this

[gothiclysm]

mm.. Just beautiful.  I love both Roberta, and Johnny's versions. You did a beautiful job giving emotion to an instrumental piece. Well done.

[theonearmedbandit1]

Hi shakey, I live in the UK. I love Roberta Flack's version and then caught your's on YouTube. It is also very beautiful & I had to record with your's as a backing track. You can listen to it at theonearmedbandit1 along with a few of my other tracks. I do hope you approve, keep playing, love RED.

[luva90]

That Is Truely Amazing!!!

[fatmanjames123]

I just wanna say I love the way you play this song, Its totally fantastic.

[hexagon789]

hey does anyone know where to get the instrumental song anywhere?Is it on one of Johnny Cash's Cds?

[accordionmusic]

nice music! bravo!

[Woody263]

I think Roberta Flack did a better job; I think it required a woman to sing it.

[Shakey1047]

Woody, the idea of this instrumental is to demonstrate the sound of the instrument. Vocals DO NOT feature in instrumentals.

[Woody263]

Of course, but that was not what I was discussing - I think you did a great job I was merely putting forward my view on voclalists. Tis all.

[DefinedStar]

true, but of all words, 'REQUIRED'as well! loool

[krazydiamondart]

Astounding

[mikeverdetto]

[NoiseMostBeautiful]

[senmo]

Dave, Great rendition of one of my favorite Gordon Lightfoot tunes. Could I ask you to do a few more of his songs? They all lend themselves so beautifully to steel.

Super job as usual my friend!
