garden party - ricky nelson - jean

Ricky Nelson was one of my favourite singers at the same time as Elvis.
I loved both but I could imitate Ricky better.
To do this video, as I could not find a musical backtrack on the net, I had to work hard to remove Ricky's voice from the original record, adding my guitar strumming and some choir of mine in harmony and keeping the rhythmic section (bass and drums).
I hope you'll like this less famous song by the late Ricky. Let's sing now !!!!

Garden Party
Ricky Nelson (1972)

I went to a garden party to reminisce with my old friends.
A chance to share old memories and play our old songs again.
When I got to the garden party, they all knew my name,
But no one recognized me..., I didn't look the same.

CHORUS:
But it's..., all right now. I learned my lesson well.
You see you can't please everyone
So you got to please yourself.

People came from miles around, everyone was there.
Yoko brought her walrus, there was magic in the air.
And over in the corner, much to my surprise,
Mr. Hughes hid in Dylan's shoes wearing his disguise.

CHORUS

I played them all the old songs I thought that's why they came
No one heard the music, we didn't look the same
I said hello to "Mary Lou", she belongs to me.
When I sang a song about a Honky-Tonk, it was time to leave.

CHORUS

Someone opened up a closet door and out stepped Johnny B. Goode,
Playing guitar like a ring and a bell and lookin' like he should
If you gotta play at garden parties, I wish you a lotta luck,
But if memories were all I sang, I rather drive a truck.

CHORUS
..La, la, la.....la la la la la la

les ré-verbes ne sont pas excellentes , on dirait que vous êtes une dizaine à chanter la même chose....C'est dommage , ça fait un peu cacophonie. Sinon, on voit à quel point tu aimes chanter et partager ta passion ;))) ♥Tu as une douce et belle voix, ça c'est sûr :)
