[barend63]

One of my favourite pieces.

[kitkatgreenfish]

I love it! the way the orchestra didn't cover the sound of the guitar,but enhanced it!been looking for this a while .Thanx!...........Kitty

[BlueShark1415]

ericleesten, you can get the orchestra backing track by buying the book "Classical Gas-The music of Mason Williams", i didnt find backing track for it on the net so i guess that's the only way

[ericleestein]

Great cover. I know you have been asked, but I'll ask again. How can I get the backing tracks"? I noticed you never responded to the other posts.

[cetko13]

@ericleestein try using a pm, he might notice then..

[MirkoBjelica]

This sounds very good Sir! Bravo!

[fanoawesomedude]

could you tell me where you got the backing track?

[badfinger11123]

That's some damn hairy finger work!

Excellent work Mark! :)

[Jamie2Rock]

Your guitar looks just like a cheap one (a Stagg classical acoustic/eIectric) I got a month ago. Is yours a Stagg or maybe an Ibanez, sir? Well played, by the way, and I saw you doing Dear Prudence a while ago as well. I've learned both of those songs also! Finger picking can be fun when you get the hang of it.

[sandsurfer2]

One of my favorite songs...great work....I too would like to say ..you are very much appreciated by many including, myself, thanks a million ...you are great

[JohnnyLadd]

Brilliant simply brilliant, noticed a slight slip at 4.00> but perfectly recovered (the mark of a true musician) a sky full of stars *'s. May your tank always be full, that was good !!!!

[goldhat3]

A sky full of stars is my favorite rating!

spords posted this comment, thanks for your kind thoughts.

"Your love and enjoyment of music is so evident. Plus, you teach us stuff. You're someone I'd miss terribly if you were gone. Not that you're going anywhere but sometimes when you have a chance to say things like that, you don't. So I'm saying it. Your life makes ours richer. Thank you. "

[5stringkeith]

Brother, you put in some serious practice time on that one. And I'm here to tell ya that it all paid off. Great job and great memories. Mom always loved you best!

[goldhat3]

Yes she did. Keep juggling and she might change her mind;)

[artwebon]

well done, u are good

[aramvermeulen1983]

Wow, Nice job sir!

Where did the backing track you use come from? Would realy like to have it :)

[expoers]

Very nice thanks for preformed real enjoyably

[Aenigmaa]

Excellent!

I too, love to play this song on my guitar :D

It's good finger-picking practice

[Rickinsf]

Excellent, I loved it.

[expansionwave]

Great job! I can't tell you how much I enjoyed that. If I'm not mistaken, Mason Williams was one of the writers of the original Saturday Night Live show - in fact he was responsible for Pat Paulsen's campaign for president. One question: where did you get the orchestra music sans guitar?

[Nikolaki18]

Thats awesome beautiful cool i love it it was a great job no better ;-)

[Homeschoolinggramma]

Beautiful Job!!!!

My sons private guitar instructor plays it for me once in a while, but to hear it with the background track.... Heaven!

[goldhat3]

Yep, I saw the Smothers Brothers 25 years later at the state fair in California. Tommy was some kind of professional you-yo man by then.
