Lady what you have here is the best amateur cover of this great song. You are better than Gypsy and your voice has more timbre than the great one, by that I mean Joni herself. Your cover is brilliant.
Many thanks your lovely comments and for supporting my music.
I am so sorry that I haven't had time to thank you all personally but I have loads of work to do for uni at the mo.
I will continue to put on videos as often as I can.
Thank you again.Lots of love ♫Hollyxx ♫
ps-Thanks also to all those who have sent me PM's about buying my music. Downloads of my originals and copies of my album are available from my website which can be accessed via the banner at the top of my channel page xx
I expected this to be really bad, because most covers on YouTube suck, but I was pleasantly surprised. Now I wanna hear you sing California or A Case of You. Or Woodstock. Oh, Woodstock would be great.
I've just listened to the Joni Mitchell original and I infinitely prefer your version;an absolute joy to listen to.Thank you and very best wishes,Trevor
I just heard Cyndi Lauper's version ...I then heard yours ..Wow you make the song proud. Thank you for sharing that with us ..Great voice and camera angles..
So good, again & again. This time I just had to check out Joni performing the song. Also saw a nice version by Cyndi Lauper. However, it's your version that I like, the finest :)
Thankyou very much for your great comment. Cyndi Lauper's version is great isn't it! I am really happy that my version was ok too - thankyou. It was great to have an excuse to play my new Appalachian Dulcimer too :)
Hello Acoustic-Guitar-Holly, E-Bass-Holly, Lead-Vocal-Holly, Background-Vocal-Holly and a big hello to the yet unknown Appalachian-Dulcimer-Holly :-O :-)
I bet it will not be the last Holly we'll get to know. ;-) Your heavenly joy and your talent playing different instruments is really wonderful! And so is the beautiful arrangement you've made for that lovely song! The dulcimer blends very well with the guitar.
Thankyou for your wonderful comment, from all of us ;)
It was brilliant to have a go with my Dulcimer. I do play it live sometimes and people seem very interested in it. It is quite awkward to stop it from falling off of my lap though!
Hey Holly - You know Bob Downe (Mark Trevorrow) I know, and he has in his 'fav singers' playlist Joni Mitchell, so I sent this to him. I so hope he has a chance to see it - love Susan xxxx - oh he is bobdowne4real on here!
Wow! Thankyou so much Susan! Yes I do know of him. Mum and dad showed me some vids of him on YT. They thought he was brilliant when he was on TV over here quite a while ago. I wonder if he watched it - lol!
I hope you and David and Spoggy are well. I am sorry I have neglected everyone lately :( I have still not finished my CD cover but I wanted to answer a few comments so people don't think I have forgotten them.
Yes, very nicely sung; it's a great, great album 'Blue'. I'm keeping my fingers crossed you'll include a song or two from it on your own CD. This one, and 'A Case of You' maybe ;-)
Wait a sec - I don't think you have every addressed me as "lady' - ok who are you and what have you done with Lar!!!!!!!!!! LOL - yes I wondered if you knew that David can also pick up any darn musical instrument and make music - not great but enough to impress me - I am going to get a video of him playing the irish Tin whistle to Spoggy soon :-) - nope, we both feel offish and sick, nothing serious
I apparently haven't commented on this yet which is absolutely astounding because I absolutely, completely, fantastically, amazingly, extremely, adoringly, admiringly LOVE this song <3
Holy mackerel! Very impressive performance AND production (love the 4-way screen and overdubs)! And the dulcimer - what a treat! Don't hear that string instrument being used much, but this is awesome! Lots o'talent on display here, fer sure!
Came across you by accident, and am so glad I did. Real talent amid todays manufactured dross. Pray this New Year will be good to you, and all real music lovers too. Good stuff very talented lady. Happy New Year. x
I love to play my Dulcimer and play it when I do live gigs. There are not many of them over here, so people often ask all about it. It is quite tricky to balance on my knees when I am playing though, and I have to be careful it doesn't slide off :)
I hope you had a lovely Christmas and will have a very Happy New Year!
Can't believe I didn't add a comment in response to this natural rendering - so unlike the flase, forced performances of so many singers. Yet another example just lovely singing: thank you Holly!
Wonderful cover of this beautiful song Holly. I just strung up an old mountain dulcimer for a friend for Christmas. Exceptional performance as always Holly. It's truly been a pleasure finding you here on YT and hope to see much more from you in 2010. Mark
Holly I really GREATLY ENJOY This video. It is the best version I have seen on youtube (although Cyndi Lauper comes a close second ) I like your style and the video with the four panels showing how you play and sing each part is really wonderful. I love being able to see how all the sound of the music is produced. You are so talented. It's great you have so many videos showing how you and your music mature. I like your ukulele song alot also. See ya!
Hi, you were the reason why I joined YT about one year ago. I wanted to do at least a minimum to support you by rating every of your songs with five stars. I was fascinated by your music, the one eyed alien and your number one fan, the sparrow. This is my first comment on your channel and I clearly want to say, that your music has given me a lot of good times over the last year. I´m looking forward to buy your album and hope, that many will follow!
Thank you so much for your wonderful comment! You are very kind and I am very flattered by your words.
I am really happy that you are enjoying my music. The one eyed alien was great fun to do. The lyrics were by Rob (jugnutgut) who I collaborated with on quite a few of my early videos. Spoggy is an amazing little sparrow and so are his 'mum and dad' :)
Thankyou again!
I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and will have a very Happy New Year!
yYOU HAVE DONE IT AGAIN YOU NEVER CEASES TO AMAZE ME THEIR TEN DIFFERENT PERSONALITY IN YOUR MIND TO BE ABLE TO DO ALL YOU DO THIS VIDEO IS FANTASTIC ONCE AGAIN I WISH YOU WOULD REDO YOUR VERSION OF LEONARD COHEN'S HALLELUJAH AND STILL KEEP THE FIRST ONE AS YOU EXPLAINED THAT IT HAD A SPECIAL MEANING TO YOU MERRY XMASS AND HAVE GREAT YEAR COMMING UP I EXPECT BIG THINGS TO HAPPEN IN YOUR MUSIC CAREER SOON THANKS FOR HOUR OF LISTING PLEASURE YOU HAVE GIVEN TO ALL YOUR FANS .
I play it at live gigs and they are not very common over here so some people are quite fascinated by it! It is tricky to stop it from slipping off of my lap though-lol!
I hope you had a brilliant Christmas and wish you a very Happy New Year too!
Oops!!! Sorry about that Adriaan - I was so busy concentrating on getting the video right that I completely forgot :S I will try and remember next time :)
You are quite the multitalented musician. Fantastic! You did an excellent job in every aspect of this video. I also really like what you've done with your hair. Its rockin!
Thank you very much for your lovely comment - I'm glad it was ok - Joni is a hard act to follow isn't she :) I love her music and am trying to collect her vinyls.
I play this one and a couple more covers of hers at my live gigs and they always seem to go down well. She was here at the IW festival in 1970-there are some YT videos of it - amazing!!!
Hi ! This video, I've found it alone, when I was watching what was on your channel. I've seen that you play guitar, after having seen you playing Piano. Well done. I don't talk of the Bass, cause when you play guitar, a simple Bass line isn't a problem. I've listened to this version (listened, not heared, big difference) & now, I'm hearing it again while I'm writting to you. 5*! BYE !
Thank you very much for your lovely comment. I would love to be able to play every instrument I could find haha! but, unfortunately I don't have time to learn to play every one well. I played the clarinet for quite a while and also the cello and other instruments a little. I am hoping one day to learn to play the harp amongst other things :) I just LOVE music!
Years ago I was working a Renaisance Fair and the guy in the booth next to mine had dulcimers for sale. I didn't know how to play one but picked it up pretty quickly and developed a sort of 'rock dulcimer' style. The guy banned me from his booth because it wasn't how dulcimers were meant to be played (so he said).
Holly, you are a muti-talented and charming person. Watching your videos (even the darker ones) brightens my day because it reminds me that in a world filled w/ pain and evil there are bursts of sunshine. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your loved ones.
Thank you so much for your lovely and very flattering comment. I am very happy that you enjoy my music. I hope that my love of music and writing comes across in my songs. I am very lucky to be able to do something I enjoy so much and have lovely people like you saying that it brightens their day - that is wonderful - thankyou again :)
This is lovely

Thankyou Joe :)
I love my dulcimer too :)
I play it at live gigs and they are not very common over here so some people are quite fascinated by it! It is tricky to stop it from slipping off of my lap though-lol!
I hope you had a brilliant Christmas and wish you a very Happy New Year too!

Thank you very much for your lovely comment - I'm glad it was ok - Joni is a hard act to follow isn't she :) I love her music and am trying to collect her vinyls.
I play this one and a couple more covers of hers at my live gigs and they always seem to go down well. She was here at the IW festival in 1970-there are some YT videos of it - amazing!!!
Happy New Year to you and your family.

Hi ! This video, I've found it alone, when I was watching what was on your channel. I've seen that you play guitar, after having seen you playing Piano. Well done. I don't talk of the Bass, cause when you play guitar, a simple Bass line isn't a problem. I've listened to this version (listened, not heared, big difference) & now, I'm hearing it again while I'm writting to you. 5*! BYE !

Hi Laurent :)
Thank you very much for your lovely comment. I would love to be able to play every instrument I could find haha! but, unfortunately I don't have time to learn to play every one well. I played the clarinet for quite a while and also the cello and other instruments a little. I am hoping one day to learn to play the harp amongst other things :) I just LOVE music!
Thankyou again.
Happy New Year.

Exquisitely done (and running out of adjectives).
Years ago I was working a Renaisance Fair and the guy in the booth next to mine had dulcimers for sale. I didn't know how to play one but picked it up pretty quickly and developed a sort of 'rock dulcimer' style. The guy banned me from his booth because it wasn't how dulcimers were meant to be played (so he said).
Sorry, seeing you play one reminded me of that.

Holly, you are a muti-talented and charming person. Watching your videos (even the darker ones) brightens my day because it reminds me that in a world filled w/ pain and evil there are bursts of sunshine. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your loved ones.

Miss Kirby, you are amazing! Is there anything you can't play!? ~ A dulcimer!?

That was delightful Holly. Nice rendition that captures the mood of the song perfectly. And I also enjoyed the cat's fleeting guest appearance.

Haha! Violet, the kitten, is not at all keen on my music, especially my singing, and pats my face and then runs off when I start to sing :)
