@Phaedragon Well, I agree except I like covers until most folks butcher 'em. If just for fun even then I can forgive it but so many post their videos so seriously. Then I feel like "why bother" and "get a life". But for the fun and exhilaration of trying I have to admit it's great and every o...

Wow, watching some covers on a sleepless night and this is a real pleasant surprise. Your voice, your playing, your feel. Thanks. Definitely do more.

I'm such a stubborn bastard..always "why bother when the original is so perfect?". But this one is just close enough and different enough and beautiful enough to win me over. I can't stop replaying it.

I fall in love all over again every time I see this. And yet never stopped lovin her. What a beauty..what a voice!

Wow so this is the famous green day. I feel sorry for you all, for the rest of us too that ya'll think this is good. Gonna be sick!

Aftet hearing this it seems there's only two good ways to do this song, Jim's original and yours. Thanks.

Wow ...just wow.

Good point...makes me almost look forward to the coming winter.

@Rickenbackerpicker I seldom go for covers of great songs because..well you know how that goes. And then you gotta struggle to get the bad version out of your head. Even a good version..why bother when the original is best? But you did this one justice. Makes me want to figure it out tomorrow.

@bhite41 Haha yeah or when you start to eye Shirley Jones as well as Susan Dey.

@Drumguitarman A year goes by fast. I'd forgotten and had to listen again. I'm not getting video for some reason but once again I like this. Sounds like the originals might have been without benefit of a high tech studio or perfect sound mix. A bit like a garage rehearsal but better. And aga...

@DedmonStudios My comment a year ago was in reference to someone claiming to be CFI making an wrong statement regarding legalities and who's PIC, Regarding seat - left or right doesn't automatically make one PIC. Anyway despite a cool experience for the kid, he's not landing the plane. Right s...

Much as I curse out GPS units for their "long way around" routes, I actually think your droid gave you the proper route with that "loop around" you'd mentioned near the end. Crossing a double yellow to egress a driveway is illegal - it's legal to ENTER a driveway but not to leave it. Sad but...

Odd? Not odd to me. I see the titles and I want to listen to every one. And so far none dissapoint.

Oh he's not like Mickey Mouse gimme a break. Maybe a bit flat at times. I think his falsetto sounds a bit empty without the harmonies but I liked this a lot. Who's playing bass?

I like watching the covers and getting either a laugh a sick stomach or a real delight. I enjoyed yours - real nice voice and feel but I'd leave the uke to someone else maybe :). Seriously...I'd ease up on the nervous playing, slow it all down and and let your voice rule it - I'd bet it'll get...

Wow all these years of my loving the Beach Bums and I never knew Al sang lead on this one of my huge favorites - at times my favorite. And he has a nice bit of grit too when he digs in.

It's Paul's strength and the energy of the Beatles, that keeps the positive spirit all these years. For all the fun, the youthful exuberance - it still makes all the loss seem unreal because a lesser person would easily fall apart and wallow in the sorrow that just shouldn't have happenned, b...

Ok I'll be first. If my legs start dancing and jittering involuntarily I'm either having a seizure or I'm liking it. Well they were a movin' plenty and I wasn't foaming at the mouth so I guess that means I liked it.. Good job.

Damn it! That's the end of my playing for tonight. What's the point! Damn you!!!! :)

@Clocksucker2 I agree. He gave us so much and was so public, but we don't own him. I hope she genuinely made him happy, it was his life his choice.
