[adellethegreat]

@jburde Thanks man I'd like to hope so

[matthagedon]

[zaphodfortytoo]

NIICE This is like my next uke cover too. Your voice is great, I wish you were here with me to sing attics of my life and do harmonies with me... Just put that up today.

[free6your7mind0]

Yew do an amazing amazing job with this song

thanks for the ear-gasm

[bettim50]

WOW!

[sirlovemehard]

You have a very nice voice and you carry the tunes of the song very well... and know the songs very well, thats very important... I know you hear Jerry and the rest in your head while singing this.. Cause when I sing I do... How bout' you?

[adellethegreat]

@sirlovemehard Haha as a matter of fact I do. Depending on my ::a-hem:: mental state, I sometimes like to think he's listening & smiling.

Thanks for the kind words.

[JuanValdez66]

Hi, um, I love this song, and I love the way you play that Uke! Just wanted to let you know that I'm a huge fan of everything you're doing…. :)

Thank you!!!

[adellethegreat]

@JuanValdez66 Hello Juan. I've always been a big fan of your coffee related work, and I'm pleased to know you also enjoy what I'm doing with ukulele. Perhaps we can work out some sort of trade..?

No seriously- thank you :)

[burlofreak]

:D

Oh man! terrific inspiration...keep playing your heart out you beautiful sugar magnolia, ya just made mine sing.

:D

[charfman84]

your voice is beyond words, all of your covers are great tributes

[jkilcull]

How refreshing to hear this version...very nice!!!

[mitukats]

I did not think a uke could sound this great on a Dead tune. Sweet voice. Great rendition. Enjoyed.

[ruth7784]

OMG! What an amazing performance! Go Delly! :-) I'm sorry, but your version is better than the original! Love! :-) X

[ThePithom]

Soulful.

[bammann45]

Good stuff!

[faithtruthlove07]

sweet! jerry garcia is awesome, and so is your cover! but i expected no less, of course.

[lightofathousand]

New year, new uke.

新年快樂

[InverseSun]

Wonderful!

[UkeIndy]

Happy new uke to you! Great job with this song, Adelle.

[peterfriedland]

Five stars - six if the software would let me!

[agrlfmtx]

That is a COOL song!! Must look up the original all because of YOU!!! Wonderful job! t:)

[iamdanielle]

wow gosh gollie i love this. that uke sounds great too!

[YoppyKyabetsu]

Just half a cup of rockin-rye? Excellentness, Adelle. Pure Excellentness.

[julesmail67]

that's a new uke for you? First impressions - brilliant intonation! (Its a bit of a soapbox of mine!) Great tone...Ohana, I deduce from the tags? And okay...you've finallly got to me Adelle. I own not one album of the 'Dead.' Can you recommend a beginners starter pack?! All the best...love the song, sound and all.x

[UnluckyMum]

Great sounds all round- just awesome :)

[jtoarmino]

The new uke sounds beautiful... but not as beautiful as you sound. Great cover baby!

[kennymelodica]

Adelle, this is splendid

terrific indeed

5 stars

[krabbers]

excellente

that title is a bit a toungue twister

[casetone2514]

Nice one Adelle. Your Dead covers are the best.

From the fount of totally useless information: The longest Number One song title ever in the UK was San Francisco (be sure to wear some flowers in your hair) by Scott Mackenzie.

The Faces song, "You Can Make Me Dance Sing Or Anything (Even Take The Dog For A Walk, Mend A Fuse, Fold Away The Ironing Board, Or Any Other Domestic Shortcomings)" only reached No12 in 1974.

Are you asleep yet?

[boozelele]

new ohana tenor? wow...look at you with all the new ukes! You are so good. I love this!

[nautn]

Oh once again, a gem from Adelle!

[Little6ster]

Great Adellethegreat! Quite normal :°)

Love your smily face!

5*

[uke5417]

Did I hear a little extra emphasis on "prayed for better weather?" Who needs a fireplace or a busy snow shovel to stay warm when you've got music like this? Wonderfully done, Adelle!

[LeoHareMusic]

Greatness. And to top it off, I accidentally played it full screen--it was like Adelle the Even Greater!

[theBradlands]

Beautiful singing Adelle!  You make these Dead songs come Alive!

[degcon]

Awesome new uke! So, you gonna give me the Ninjalele now? :-) Great jams as always, Adellykins!

[ken6675]

great song adelle,

Ken G

[lukuleles]

you made this song yours. very nice performance.

[adellethegreat]

Thanks, man! Making it your own is what it's all about.

[keonepax]

Great singing!

[adellethegreat]

Thank you kindly, Jon

[DearOldNutjob]

you obviously go somewhere when you sing dead songs, a happy place, I'd say. Thanks for the RDA of dead. its' part of a balanced diet.

[adellethegreat]

Actually, I go somewhere right *before I play Dead songs ;)

No seriously... it's the next best thing to playing an original song for me- the most passion next to that. I got ya covered on the RDA of Dead for today, Don- but don't forget tomorrow :)

[Gcow55]

You nailed this in every way, shape, and form. Your voice is so perfect for this song. I love it.

[adellethegreat]

Greg! High five me! I didn't expect this one to be doable. I sorta feel cool now lol. Thanks man.

[carbonxkiwi]

Beautifully done!

[adellethegreat]

Thank you my dear Kiwi!

[unclejeff64]

adelle, you'll be pleased to know i bought my 1st grateful dead cd this week. i'm trying to re-embrace my inner "dude".

so far so good. btw, you sing the hell outta this! rock on!

[adellethegreat]

Yay! What album?!

And thanks!

[unclejeff64]

very best of - on the rhino label.

more trax than the other 'best of'.

i like that fire on the mountain!

[ukeyermind]

Sounding, good, sis. Loved the way you held it on "weather" - that was (do people still say clutch?) AWESOME!!

[adellethegreat]

Awesome I'm so glad you liked it! It doesn't get covered often- it's an overlooked song in general. I don't know why. It's quite awesome.

[fourteentwelve]

Congrats on the new uke Adelle! You sound wonderful playing it.

[adellethegreat]

Thanks, Michelle! It's already inspired a new original, too. I feel really fortunate to have it.

[MrPlatypus70]

Sounds great, love the new uke. I really like my Ohana, great ukes!

[adellethegreat]

Thanks! I've really been enjoying it- it's quite a beauty. My first Ohana & I'm happy with it for sure.

[floydbluethereal]

Great! Good to hear a Dead cover again by you. Nice uke.

[adellethegreat]

Thankfully, it's going to take a while for me to run out of Dead songs to cover. Thanks for watching, Floyd.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Great, confident performance, Adelle.

[adellethegreat]

Thanks, Ken! It was approximately take 57- camera had like 5 mins of battery life left & I thought "Ah, heck- all out or nothing." It's when ya let go that it works :)

[ctrymaus]

Absolutely awesome!! Love that new uke too! :-)

[adellethegreat]

Thanks Mouse! I do appreciate your continued support.

[damedufaubourg]

Oh, Adelle,

I wish I was Bruce.

Ab fab!

[adellethegreat]

Thank you my dear! If you'd like, I could call you Bruce from now on... :)

[raccoonlodger]

Smile. Smile Smile. You have never sounded or looked more beautiful!

[adellethegreat]

Aww! You made me blush.

[MrGratefulDean]

You made it your own.Fantastic!

[adellethegreat]

Thanks, Dean! I had a lot of fun with this.

[jdogface]

w...w... wu..wunnerful, just stupendously wunnerful.

sorry bout that but hot hippie chicks make me stutter...

[adellethegreat]

Okay- I replied to all the other comments first... cause what do I say to this one?

Just know that you made me smile big time, man.... And maybe even blush a bit. Thank you.

[GrumpyCoyoteTunes]

supah... No powder charge for me... I have this.

[adellethegreat]

On first glance I thought you said "sugah" & I was picturing you being all sassy & calling me "honey chile" & stuff.

We need tp do a Dead song, Grump!

[russbuss415]

congrats on the new uke Adelle! you and it sound great. yh.

[adellethegreat]

Thanks, Russ. I was feeling it.

Wanna be next?

yh

[russbuss415]

holler! n_n

tcasi

[deach69]

No one does Dead like you. Congrats on the new uke. Is that number 34 now?

[adellethegreat]

Now I sound like a hitman.... lol

Aaaactually, it's number 13, which is unlucky. Only one way to fix that...

[UKISOCIETY]

Wonderful and great sounding instrument.

[adellethegreat]

Thanks, Alan. She's a beaut, I will admit. Willow sides & back- to die for!

[UkeeDreamer]

Groovey, super voice and the Ohana uke brings the blend together. I have an Ohana but can never make it sound like you do. Great job. Loon

[adellethegreat]

Oh hey now don't say that man! Well, say the part that was nice things about me (thanks! btw) but I'm sure you could bring that sound out of your Ohana. I'm really not that good of a player technically speaking- I make up for it (at least try to) with passion- that's what it's all about.

[Ukeffect]

Hey Gurl! It does sound good and she fits you like a glove! *big cheshire cat grin!*
