Isn't bad, but the title is false.

[laurianni]

Wow, this takes me back! I love your voice!

[PedroLeiteCapeto]

[minxafied]

@PedroLeiteCapeto thank you! :)

[XnoctumX]

I love it :D

[minxafied]

thanks! :)

[fingercheese]

this song has been in my head lately....these kids walking around with boxes of words....and whatever else ....intently staring into whatever these boxes contain....rather than looking at eachother....they write to eachother in little boxes of ticky tacky....and to me.... they all look the same....

[4thThe5th]

Loooove it!!!

[mindfulmusic78]

Awesome,going into the favorites!!!!

[minxafied]

thanks so much! :)

[BeautifulGirlByDana]

Way too cute :O)  5/5

[chuxtrux]

just curious what camera you are using on this one. the lens is remarkable, chuck.

[minxafied]

hi chuck! i don't actually know what it was, but i know it was a fancy shmancy consumer camera. my friend is a film maker so he's got the best stuff. :) i think it's one of those higher end sony digital cameras.

[TravelWithMusic]

Love it...Beautiful voice of you!!!

Oh, it looks so warm in your place...have to come there...lol In Germany it is rainy and cold....5* + fav

Have a great week. Hugs, Heidi

Well I thought it sounded Outstanding.. Great Video to go with your song and singing. (5*)

Thank you Rob for the share...Sherry

[titanx9]

Nice singing. That was the most soothing version of Little Boxes i've ever heard. I like that you taped it walking through the suburbs...makes sense considering the lyrics.

[zamix23]

Lisa 'Guthrie' on the road! :-))

[ernstcharly]

I enjoyed your voice and loved listening to the song. I never heard of it before. I think you should have won the contest, but I don't know the other conttestants. But I loved your song.

[bigeeezy]

Nice cover of a fine song from a legend

[tps607]

I have loved this song for longer than you can imagine...Lisa,this is a stunning cover...and an excellent video! ***** xo

[minxafied]

thanks tom! it's quite a compliment when someone is a die hard of the original and yet still likes my version. thank you!! :)

[tps607]

Lisa,If I find fault with this,it would be that the neighborhood is too nice...Should be some place like Levitown or other post-war development.Your performance is flawless and I am still clapping! xo

[minxafied]

i know! i wanted a place with small houses all the same shape and size so you'd see a lot of them as i walked by. my friend had the car and the camera however, so there wasn't much i could do. :)

[tps607]

he he...next time call! :o)

[tonygrimsley]

ok im impressed. If I tried that , I 'm sure I would do a face plant a break my guitar.

[minxafied]

frankly i'm surprised i didn't! but i made sure my shoes were tied and the path was clear. ;)

[nidgetucker]

Brilliant trip back for me also.

[peterqb24]

You are really good at this !

[NCLUSA]

How come I never get pretty girls walking down my street singing? ):

[chuxtrux]

hi lisa. this one sure brings back the memories. i heard her sing this one on pete seeger's tv show many years ago and i used to play it out sometimes. i had forgotten about the song. you, as always, gave a fine performance and video. nice to hear from you again. chuck.

[minxafied]

thanks chuck! i would have loved to have seen her play. along with many of the other folk greats in their prime. i was born way too late! :)

[lefthooklyrics]

Very Nice, beautiful neighborhood.

[starrchild99]

[2minstral]

A true minstral. :o)

I love it! Thanks for the share Rob!

[futreslayer300]

Love the video!!! :D Love how quiet the streets are, it's kind of eery but peaceful at the same time, great vocals too, you're a folk star! S xxx

[minxafied]

thanks steph! i actually edited out the few people who came out to gawk. hee. a folk star is all i've ever wanted to be! :D thank you!

[RobElliottMusic]

Mr Elliott thanks you kindly for posting this gem.lol As i promised, straight into my favs....i think i will be watching this quite a lot.

I'm intrigued to know when you filmed this and why there is noone on the street, if i heard some angelic tones outside my house, i'd be right out! :D

[minxafied]

thanks for sharing with everyone rob! there were actually a couple people who were outside and kind of looked over, but i cut them out. amazing i was able to piece the thing together! :)

[minxafied]

thanks so much! :)

[Johnfern99]

I remember this! Great to see it again, and you and your friend did a great job! I know it can be difficult to video something like this since dogs can run out, or someone will come out of thier house, and yell, "What the hell's goin' on here? What is this? Some kind of movie?"

[minxafied]

thanks john! i think everyone was out that day! hee. :)

[cadwalladee]

Strolling minstrel... I love it! You look as at home on Long Island as you do in NYC.

[minxafied]

thanks scott! i'm more of jersey girl actually...hah! :)

[cadwalladee]

You should have done it in Jersey then! (Wasn't that where the song originated? or at least the idea? Long Island ticky tacky ain't anything like Jersey!) No matter! I like the wandering minstrel aspect...
