That was fun. You do seem to get into the music! Did someone walk into the room just after you started singing? Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for shearing. Really enjoyed watching you play and sing. Darn good job on both. Not heard a lot of Elvis C. stuff . But a BIG fan of his wife.( Dianna Krall ).

Nice one John, I've always loved this song, you did it credit.

While I prefer Elvis's version I would like to give credit where it's due and say this is not one of his songs.
The greatest living British songwriter penned it (Declan McManus's own words)- NICK LOWE.

He's been writing awesome songs for decades and just gets better with age.

Keep up the good work John.

Daryl- Yes, my wife returned from walking the dogs at that very moment.


Bud- Thanks for watching. As deep as the lyrics are, it's a pretty fun and upbeat number.

Kevin- Thanks bro, I like Diana Krall as well. Didn't even know they were married.

Dean- I was surprised to learn that Nick Lowe composed that. I like Elvis's version but that is probably just due to the fact that I am used to it.
Thanks for the support

As a fan I would say not one of Elvis' really well known recordings but a good tune. I didn't know he didn't write it either so thanks Dean I learned something.

You play with a lot of energy and as you said yourself it's an upbeat number. You looked to be enjoying belting it out that's for certain. Thanks for the look.

What I really love about this performance is you just go for it and you really look like you are totally relaxed and in the groove!
Great job, the fun shines through. :)
