[idostuff147]

You ought to buy a Phillies hat ;) haha, great playing!

[PoorYorick3]

Off the schneid! Go Sox! Down with the Yanks! And thanks for this video - I start listening to this means spring is here :)

[endykeith]

Wow--That was really good. You're very talented.

[tonypadrone1]

Great version ! Enjoyed your playing very much. To bad the Sox won't be playing in October. Sorry I'm a big Yankee fan !

[robbourassaguitarist]

Excellent. No one remembers the verse anymore but dorks like me. I love your channel Tony, and am having a great time looking at all of your great arrangements.

[OriginalRitz]

hey, is this your arrangement for guitar, or is there someplace I can get sheet music for this?

great stuff, by the way...

go blue jays!

[essex250]

You're a great guitar player....but you root for the wrong TEAM! Go Yanks!

[troubleclef]

Boo! Yankees suck! Yankees suck!  (haha, sorry, couldn't resist). Thanks for watching.

[luiza1983]

Go Sox!!!!!!!!!!!!! o/

[troubleclef]

Congratulations to the Phillies and to Philadelphia. Awesome win. Awesome series. Woo Hoo!!

[freklfacejpgr]

Yeah! Go Phils!

[tullymerton]

I really enjoy this rendition of Take Me Out I was curiousif you are rooting for the Red Sox do you live in that town from which they are? The other more urgent question I have is, What is that color painting behind you there Troubleclef? I am going crazy trying to figure it out.

[UtbRhcp]

by the way is that an acoustic or classical guitar? it has me wondering!

[franganghi]

you are always the best!

ciao.

[karch139]

Great rendition of a classic song. You make a tired overplayed song come to life in a new way!

[nagahidetora]

Amazing! I love this video! So beautiful.

[nickyunis]

[djwalsh41]

[Jazzguts]

Powerful enough to make a No-leg man ROLL the rest of the way, greets Vic.

[DashHopes]

12:06 am no going home to play! Just to bring back the World Series victory dance Whooo Hooo

Richard

[DashHopes]

7:38 Sunday night game 4 almost ready to start I would wonder where you are?

I had to add to the mood and listen to your "Take me out to the ball game"! before game 4 starts............. In a way it would be nice if the Rockies won the next 2 so Boston could win it at Home!!!

Richard

[bobbytunes]

You Sir are a National Treasure......... Thanks you just made my day !

[kennylofton1028]

well..as much as I disagree with your baseball favorite, I still love your music. You rock troubleclef!

[troubleclef]

thanks, Mr. Lofton.

[nhe00]

awesome! "go sox!" for you too :)

[pyrotorch]

wow! you're really awesome on this one, i think that this style is so much better than others that i've heard. keep it up dude!

[dennisisms]

Powerful enough to make a one-legged man waltz

[pilot2bee222]

You're playing style amazes me on every song I hear from you. Do you perform concerts (not that im looking to travel no offense, but im just curious). Keep up the good work!

[YoJolina]

Fabulous! Great rhythm!

Best, Jolina

[silimtao]

From a lifetime YANKEE fan- great work again, clef. And a grudging congrats to Boston (went to school there, late 70's- Berklee College of Music, where I learned how NOT to play the guitar!).

[troubleclef]

thanks buddy

[rodrigocs666]

that was intersting ...clef but can u send your tabs pls specially of euridice

[jorgebenbrasil]

goose gossage! is that you?

[DashHopes]

I had to add this to my favorites it reminds of the week my wife lost me to the Ken Burns film BASEBALL from 1840 to 1994! and what you are playing is on every DVD, thats 9 of them.

Great stuff love your cover.

Richard

[troubleclef]

thanks buddy

[mts12270]

did you HAVE to be a redsox fan? I'm from Cleveland......and i HATE the Yankees also!

[jorgebenbrasil]

what the hell is going on in the world? its 80 degrees in new england in october - the red sox have become the yankees and troubleclef shaves the beard! the beard!! omg the beard!! wooo hoooo.......

[troubleclef]

it's my old-fashioned-handle-bar-musta­che-and-devil-patch combo-because-the-sox-are-in-t­he-playoffs look. and the yankees will always be the yankees. and the sox will always be the sox. and never the twain shall meet (well, at least not til next spring some time)

[lordrudy44]

Smells like someone stepped in a big pile of Boston. Nice rendition, even if you are a BoSox fan.

Yankees 4-ever!

[troubleclef]

Yeah but we get the breezes from New York and New Jersey even up here! hahahah!

thanks!

[wbross01]

Gives me a hankerin' for a cheap hot dog and an eight-dollar beer.

[gjourney]

beautiful arrangement!!

[songsbymikedotnet]

nice! I'll pass this along to someone i know who works at 38 Studios (Curt Schilling's gaming company).

[troubleclef]

that's cool. thanks!

[SolesGirlRachel]

You make what I would have said was not that great a song into a lovely extremely listenable recording! Thank you sweetie, I'm very pleased and consider myself privileged to be your newest subscriber! *hugs*

Fondly,

Rachel :)

[troubleclef]

Yeah, it's kind of a worn out ol' tune but i've always liked it. and that's why i featured the part that most of us (myself included until last night) haven't ever heard. Strangely it's easier to play the part i just learned than it is to play the famous chorus. Now explain that one! Thanks for subscribing.

[looooong]

Excellent as usual.

Peo and Trouble, the best guitarists. How about a jam session between you two. That would be priceless.

[troubleclef]

Well I can't jam to save myself from drowning but it sure would be musically satisfying to collaborate with such a fine musician. Thanks!

[feral07]

One happy guy me thinks

Lynn From Scotland

PS Good stuff..

[troubleclef]

woo hoo! (and "sleepy" and "hungover" and "desparately dehydrated" and "hungry". Ahh, here comes dinner.....)

[feral07]

I've still to make mines....

[joadha]

Sweet.

Go Pirates. :-(

[troubleclef]

Yeah! Pirates! I'm all for the old towne teams getting their day in the sun. Enough of the success of these expansion squads. They just haven't earned it yet through sweat and tears and patience and 86 years of heart break! I mean, best of luck to the Rox and their fans and everything, but GO SOXXXX!!!! (well, even though they won the series only 3 years ago)

[troubleclef]

and i realize the unjust irony of my comment. Only the Cubs have waited longer for a world series win than the Indians have. But, hey, i got a right to root root root for the home team, right?

Cubs 1908

Indians 1948

Giants 1954

Pirates 1979

So, next year I want the world series to be Cubs/Indians. Now THAT will be a contest for the ages.

[peaceonearth777]

Nothing ever mentioned of the teams that NEVER won a world series. Or have made it to the playoffs 5 times in the past 23 years. Watch the Cubs next year. One pitcher more and they are there. Peace on.

[troubleclef]

Right. But most of those teams haven't been around all that long (Mariners, Devil Rays, Rangers and Nationals/Expos never made it to the series; Padres, Astros and Brewers have made it at least once but never won according to wikipedia)

[peaceonearth777]

Funny how you had to leave out the Rockies. Never dreamed they would be there. Not 4 months ago, or even 4 weeks ago! Good luck tonight. They are hot right now.

[AndanteLargo]

Hey -ho! That was nice! I became all happy after listening to you!

Thanks!

Peo

[troubleclef]

thanks so much. glad you liked it. had you ever heard that before? (not sure how much these classic american traditional things travel)

[AndanteLargo]

Hi. No I never heard this before!! I am glad you were the one presenting it to me!

GO SOX!

[troubleclef]

Yay! another global member of Red Sox nation!

[amynick]

What a comeback!!! Beautiful rendition, but can you do any Drop Kick Murphy's, or at least a dance??? I'm from Rockport, MA, are you from New England?

[troubleclef]

well i can't do those things, but I can put an empty box of Bud Light over my head.

I'm from Springfield, Vermont but have lived in the boston area for years and years. Go SOX!

[hakku68]

Talent is as talent does. Troubleclef already has an excellent track record; and, maybe in another 100 years the red sox will have one as good as the Yankees -- Got Rings?

[troubleclef]

soon. soon.

[merrett]

w00t! I'm Australian but I go for the Red Sox. Beautiful playing once again troubleclef.

[troubleclef]

Alright! I guess Red Sox nation is more global all the time. thanks

[jjnolan1067]

Troubleclef: Great way to start the day, great game. Thanks for the music, let's hope to hear We are the Champions in a week or so

Be well, Go sox

[troubleclef]

Yeah!

[matzac97]

i dont understand nothing to baseball, but bravo for the tune. ;-) André

[musxlvr2]

Go troubleclef!

[koseikubota]

Matsuzaka won!

[troubleclef]

Exactly. When others said he was looking distraught, I knew he was summoning the samurai within! :D

[troubleclef]

Congratulations Cleveland Indians on a great season! Best of luck in the future. Look out Colorado!!!!!!!

[pegasus745]

go sox.... great song

[dmacnic]

Red Sox and the Rox in the big show!

[troubleclef]

woo hoo!  Sox and Rox!

[bbburton]

BATTER UP!

[BOLOUISGARYMANNY]

You look just like Freddie Mercurey with that mustache

[bboycrashin]

GO GIANTS

[phuckthefcc]

* edit Go Yankees

[troubleclef]

Hey, Joe Torre is a great baseball man. May he find a team that can take him all the way!

[phuckthefcc]

G Yankees

[swingbossa]

Great; you did the verse, which in the original 1908 version is about Katie Casey, who was "baseball mad". (My wife clued me into that, actually.) Looks like a nice night at Fenway for the 7th game of the playoffs; we'll see what happens!

[troubleclef]

thanks. yeah, i downloaded a cabaret singer's version from itunes (Kathleen Holeman) that's really great and guitar-based and in this key which i presume is accurate, but who cares? Check it out, it's really cool. i love the lyrics. She sings about "Nelly Kelly" but i distinctly remember *seeing* the lyrics and the protagonista there was named Casey.

I got the chords pretty much screwed up at the most important moment but was in the mood, you know?

[swingbossa]

Nelly Kelly was in the 1927 version, according to Wikipedia. Didn't notice the screwed up chords; let's just call it "creative interpretation."

[troubleclef]

Ahh! thanks. yeah, it's not screwed up so much as i left out a couple "pah pah"s after I "oom"ed.

[jbrowne1702]

i'm rooting against the Sox but still love the rendition. i just hope you got some sleep between this track and the others you layed down the past 24 hrs!

[troubleclef]

that's cool. but i don't think the Red Sox are to be denied at this point. My prediction: Sox world champs in 5 games. (hell, if the paid professional sports writers can stick their necks out, why can't i?)

[lolkhan]

Go sox! lol

[slorge]

PLAY BALL!!!!

[DashHopes]

Watching game #7 right now 2 on no outs papi just stuck out. Great song for the moment!!

Richard

[troubleclef]

David had a bit of a struggle tonight. That's ok when the guys you least expect step up and do the job, eh?

[DashHopes]

LOL true that!! My team "METS" let me down so bad in the stretch its not even funny!! But I can laugh about it now so go BOSTON!!!

Richard

[secsc2]

Game Seven should be hot! Nice choice.

[hannan73]

love it ! your awesome on the guitar..if i could ever be that good I would make it my life and my living...Gocards...I meen go cubs after they signed tlr and cany sign anyone I swittched to the cubs. go cubs!

[troubleclef]

i love the cubs. go cubs. but just not yet.

[herbiesnerd]

....it's root, root, root for the DODGER'S....! They didn't win and it was a shame. Go SOX......then GO ROCKIES! I love a cinderella story! Great rendition.

[troubleclef]

we'll see......

thanks

[sullyrock]

that was cool! mets 1986!

[fngrpckr]

That's an excellent arrangement! One of your finest. I really like this one!

[RadioTom103]

Go Cubs! ...err wait. Just wait till next year!

[troubleclef]

I'm a big Cubs fan myself. Cubs and Mets are my perennial NL favorites. 2003 would have been a World Series for the ages if only it had been Red Sox/Cubs instead of Yankees/Marlins. Anyhow, thank God for the Marlins.

[toofast4love]

youre incredible!!!

[richlitwin]

Go Red Sox!!!! Nice Job
