Hey all!

Uhm.......me again B) ....well I did say last week that I've been working on quite a lot behind the scenes and in between I really wanted to do something just for fun and since I really love this song.

I'm sure that most of us know who Claire is, since she has done such an amazing job doing the vocals for the Blackbird-collaboration and doing this BJ-recording wich her father Tom N. has shared with us.

That particular Bon Jovi-recording and the fact that we're both very into this band made me wonder if she would be up for doing another of their tunes together. I had already thought of recording this song some time ago (for the Busking-BJ-thread), but really felt that there should be another vocalist in there.

The arrangement is based on the acoustic-version wich appears on the MTV-Unplugged-show 'An evening with Bon Jovi', wich I watched back in 1994 or so. I absolutely immediately fell in love with that show (it is just %#$@%#$ AWESOME) and have felt a great admiration for them ever since. If you haven't seen it, you should definitely check it out, they are one of the best live-concerts-bands in the world and also very capable of doing their stuff acoustically as well.

In any way, I'm very proud, honored and grateful for the fact that Claire wanted to join me in this one immediately, especially since it's also her video-debut here at TG! :cheer:

Many thanks to Tom who did such a great job editing and producing the video! :)

However, I just truly hope you will all enjoy this one, since I sure do as well!

That was very, very good you two! Very nice arrangement and excellent vocals. Ness, in regards to the other thread where you were uncertain what a good stage name would be for you......... How about Ness: THE superstar...... B)

Claire: Your vocals are very beautiful and TG is lucky to have you around.... :)

Thanks for the share!

Ok, I think I'm going to become an agent, and I want a contract with you two. Well sell out every venue in the world with Clair and Ness.


Ladies, I couldn't be more impressed. That is simply as good as it gets. WOW!

Claire and Ness,

That was so great!! I'd never heard that version of Livin' on a Prayer, but I loved it (I'll see if I can find the Unplugged vid that Ness mentioned). Ness, as always, great vocals and guitar work. I always love those double-time strums you add to things! Maybe someday I'll get that down. Claire- really beautiful vocals and it's so nice to see your pretty face, too. I loved hearing the two of you singing together. The harmonies were giving me shivers, they were so sweet!

What a great way to end the week! I added my applause to the cheering crowd at the end of the video!
