Damn! this is one of the most beautiful songs Gordon ever wrote and performed. You are blessed to have such a wonderful voice. Thank you for sharing with us. Merry Christmas to you, your family and friends!
Oh, dunno how that extra salad got in there but the more greens the better, I suppose. Umm, you didn't leave me much on the table ( at my level )... hope it's still your shot
Brian, I must have missed the email that this submission has been uploaded. Your videos are my favorite on the web. Wish I could play and sing like this. Please continue to post more gems.
@7761864 As always and the same here, Brian. You've come more that standard thus far from the basement and the tapping toed pups! Kinda miss seeing them. Looking forward to more!
Wow! Outstanding performance and skillful production. Just hooked up a new set of Bose speakers; and this is exactly what was needed to make them come alive!
You do the absolute best Lightfoot covers on YouTube, bar none. I'm sure the fact that you sound so much like him has a lot to do with it but your musical arrangements are fantastic as well! Always a pleasure hearing you Brian!
EXCELLENT !! You all did a fantastic cover. From the bass line to the vocals and guitar picking to the sleigh bells. The vocal harmony was a superb ending to the song. A very nice touch. 10/10...Nick
This song was written during a thunderstorm in Cleveland, Ohio. Heard that from Gord himself at a concert in Cleveland last summer. But a grand song and a fabulous cover Brian. Truely wonderful!
First time I ever heard this song I was 16 years old, sitting by a crackling woodstove on a snowy night. Not sure if I was more in love with the music or the boy who introduced it to me. :) This is beautiful, Brian - your performance is as warm and wonderful as the original. Quality recording, too. Into my favorites you go.
Very nice cover, Brian ! And this sound reminds me Jim Croce sound, very clean and cool. Don't you think that - It Doesn't Have To Be That Way - is musicaly in the same atmosphere ?
About a CD...any time frame when you might be putting one together? Sure would love to have one. I downloaded your songs on YouTube and put them on my MP3 player. Hope you don't mind. I LOVE your guitar playing!! And the sound of your Martin is superb! What model is it, anyway?
I honestly don't know about the CD. You need permission, and more.
If it happens I'll make sure you get one. The guitar is actually a 1976 C.F. Mountain. It's a Martin knock off, but It has amazing tone, and better than most I've played.
Wow...a CF Mountain. I've vaguely heard of those a time or two, but never heard one being played. You are so right...the tone on your guitar is amazing, matching the ability of the player perfectly.
Your voice is so beautiful! I could listen 24/7.
