Longer (Dan Fogelberg)

[keikoasmom]

Wow! I love music played and sung with heart. It makes MY heart go pitty-pat! Love it!

[luvtoeatit2000]

pretty good!

[Draeka]

Pretty good man. Tough to play and sing in tune.

[Flexapr]

Good rendition, voice is oout of pitch @ times. How is your voice SO high-pitched?! You look like a pretty mature man. Enlighten me?

[keikoasmom]

@Flexapr Duh, everyone is different?

[Cameragirl803]

One of his best and you did a wonderful cover of it Jack! Both your playing and singing was so nice to hear tonight! Big Thumbs Up and endless stars my friend;)

[onewomanandsomesongs]

This is absolutely beautiful! I loved Dan Fogelberg....it was sad to see him pass away. Very nice performance and five stars. :)

[rickyronquillo]

great singing

[SifuRod]

great job

[wobbe1404]

Love it! Beautifull voice, i'm going to use this song at the wedding of my sister in law. Keep bringing those nice songs in open G tuning!

[Kwamu22]

Nice, dude. Love it. Love your rendition.

[Oswlek]

I knew you would do a wonderful rendition of this piece. Your vocals are so pure and easy.

I'm having a hard time telling if you are using an open tuning on this one as well. The 5th string appears to be tuned to a G so I am thinking yes.

[MrJazkiller]

YOUR GUITAR SOUNDS VERY GOOD! IT A GOOD GUITAR...You play good...

[leeking007]

Bravo, very good..masterpiece song..

[jkilcull]

Excellent recording of the guitar!

[benvye]

Very touching rendition of a truly great song.

[carystrings]

Very moving. Just fix one or two notes and you are perfect. Bravo!

[lindapinda]

Thanks kindly Rocket :)

[Teledude1972]

Hey Jack. :) Just got back from the Springsteen show in Vancouver yesterday. Gotta do some catchin' up here on youtube. It seems like I've missed a lot of great covers, including this one. :) Beautiful job on this one Jack, as usual. :)

[lindapinda]

Thanks Ed, I now have the backing track for the song that we discussed; I'll try to figuer a way to forward this to you.

Best Regards, Jack

[Teledude1972]

Cool. Look forward to hearing it. :)

[sguitar]

Hey Hey!! really nice song and great playing as always! It makes fun to lsiten to you!! Thanks man!

Sarah :-)

[lindapinda]

Thank you Sarah, I put up a small brief on open G tuning earlier today that might interest you...Regards, Jack

[Tilly220]

A great choice of song and you sung this with such tenderness. Beautiful vocals and guitar work *****

[lindapinda]

Thank you Becky :)

This one is easier to play in open G.

[Tilly220]

But does playing in open G mean that you have to play the chords differently?-or is it the same fingerplacing?

[lindapinda]

The fingerings are different; the chords sound the same only richer.

[Tilly220]

They certainly do sound far richer. One day I'll apply myself to learning the new chord shapes-must be like learning a new language!

[lindapinda]

Actually Becky, it's easier than you think. It took a while for me because it's sort of fustrating at first but the end result is worth the effort; you really need a second guitar to leave in this tuning - again, I can video the chords if you wish...Regards, Jack

[Tilly220]

Ok-well as I only use a few chords anyway ( 3 in my last song!-and one of those was wrong LOL!) I shall have a go! I'll retune that other guitar. Thanks Jack.

[lindapinda]

That's the spirit - I'll upload a short video later today briefing some chords :)

[sherrilynn115]

Sooooo beautiful Jack!!

[lindapinda]

Thanks so much Sherri :)

[fingercheese]

[pookgopolis]

thank you for the song :)

[lindapinda]

Thanks so much Mrs. Everett - it takes some getting used to doesn't it :)

[pookgopolis]

It does but I am getting used to it :)

[losthills]

That is some wxcellent picking!

[lindapinda]

Thank you losthills, I'm curious as to how you chose that name.

[rhopen]

Perfect song for you to do Jack! Same range as Fogleberg, and may I say I think this is a great tribute to him with his recent passing. Great sound on it as well. I knew you were working on a great one, and now I know ;o) Excellent. -Ron

[lindapinda]

Thanks Ron,

I'm still working on the mystery song - I just don't know if my lungs can handle it :)

[rhopen]

Now I'm really intriged... ;o)-Ron

[lindapinda]

Patience Ron :)

[jherr5150]

I knew this was going to be excellent when it came up - awesome job Jack, 5***** and added to favorites.

[lindapinda]

Thanks so much Jason :)

[coolanddark]

simply terrific Jack!!sound quality is at CD level!how do you record!!!???

[lindapinda]

Thanks Dan,

I'm just using a Sony handycam with a Rode external stereo mic. Nothing special except that the room is rather large which gives a natural echo...Best Regards,  Jack

[MonkeylessJohn]

Wow Jack!!! Dan Fogleberg had so many wonderful songs, and your performance of this was breathtaking!!!

Suits your voice to a T.

[lindapinda]

Thanks John,

I would like to someday learn the song that he wrote about his bandleader grandfather.

[MonkeylessJohn]

Hi Jack. That's another great one from Dan Called the Leader of the Band" Also His Auld Lang Syne song was excellent if you remember it.

And then there was Run for the Roses too.

[bowlingballout]

A very nice listen!

[lindapinda]

Thanks kindly Joseph :)

[classican]

Great sound Jack, first class performance!!!

[lindapinda]

Thanks Pete, you're really groovin with that Taylor :)

[Cameragirl803]

What a pretty one for you to do Jack;) I always loved this song and you played it and sang it just beautifully:) 5*****Jane

[lindapinda]

Thanks so much Jane :)

[derekeverett]

Also, please don't watch my post today called Adnard. I still want you to like me.

[lindapinda]

Watching it anyways :)

[derekeverett]

Wow! Thank you so much for this song Jack it is amazing! I will keep this forever too! You are an absolutely amazing musician.

[lindapinda]

Hey Derek, I would expect you and Chantel to be waltzing to this, you know, with some candels, wine, etc! :)

[dannyknapp]

wow, if I could sing like that I don't think I'd ever want to stop. very nice Jack.

[lindapinda]

Thanks so much Danny,

You're lookin mighty handsome in your last video :)

[xxxSunbeamxxx]

Hi Jack!! I am on here just the right time to catch this as it comes on :) A treat for Sunbeam :) Beautiful song, lovely sincere performance. Thanks for adding more beauty to my day!! Sunbeam xoxo

[lindapinda]

Why thank you Sunbeam, you always say the nicest things :)

[duckscli]

This was a real treat to watch Jack. Your guitar is sounding so crisp and clear , your vocal is better than ever. What a great song. 5 *

Duncan

[lindapinda]

Thanks Duncan,

You can actually see the mic in this video, I think I might have had it too low which caused the extra guitar brightness.

[duckscli]

May i add , i had very little knowledge of Dan Fogelberg before this fantastic cover you made. Now i've dug out some old vinyls of my Mum's and i am simply amazed. So i thank you Jack :)

Duncan

[rhopen]

Fogelberg has some great songs you might want to consider a cover on Duncan. Wysteria might make a great "piano" cover... Jack, please consider There's A Place In The World For A Gambler... Ok, I'll stop ;o).. -Ron

[duckscli]

I certainly will consider it Ron , thanks for suggesting. How's the Holiday Inn coming along?

Duncan

[rhopen]

I should be able to check out of the Holiday Inn sometime tomorrow ;o) -Ron

[duckscli]

HaHa :) Slow Down Ron , i'm a rock and roll man , i'll just be twiddling my thumbs meanwhile.. I can only apologise for abusing the lyric. :)

Duncan
