Kev, Jambalaya fits perfectly here and you play it perfectly... great to hear you sing too!

Daryl, I can't believe that there is a John Lennon song I haven't heard before, well now I have and you played it with your usual perfection. Thanks for putting that on the map (for many of us, I'm guessing).

Stuart, just love these songs where you play harmonica too, it makes the whole thing as fresh a this morning's croissants. Did you swear at the intro ?? ;-). There is a very authentic charm to this clip... maybe its that Scottish accent coming through... maybe its because you reveal more about yourself here than ever before.
BTW... are you related.....

For our colonial friends... this is the Queen's (and possibly Stuart's?) grandfather King George V.

Kevin, WOW WOW WOW. Another great one. Great playing and singing. Very smooth strumming. I loved it! And only TWO chords.
Kevin,

This is a fun video. It made me want to get up and do a fast two-step, after donning my boot-scooting boots. :)

BTW- That's a beautiful picture of you and the lovely Lisa in the background.

Loved it!

Shel

Daryl - You're on fire and definitely doing a great job of keeping this thread alive. Very nice.

Stu - Who could resist you? :) Great song, I LOVED the harp - pure genius. That was lots of fun. OK mine is in the pipeline. I'm aiming for getting it posted by the end of the weekend. ... promise ... :) - very nice delivery.

Stuart - Great addition! Loved the harmonica. I know this isn't the purpose of this thread but it would have been great to see you do a green screen with this video and do BOTH vocal parts along with the harmonica part. Anyway, I loved this version.

====================================================================

Chris - Regarding India: I wonder how many members already knew of the song??? I'm sure Neil knows it and has it on vinyl somewhere.

Ness - Yes. I used a pick on this one. Though I'm way more comfortable NOT using one.

Jim, Matt, Marc, Stuart, Michele - Thank you

Daryl- Nice job on a very unfamiliar song! I agree with all the comments about your great strumming. Thanks for posting!

Stuart- Well, this has got to be one of my favorite videos from you ever. Your harp playing is just great in it and I loved both your singing and playing. But what kicked it over the top was your ending and beginning. I'm with Chris- I love your Scottish accent!

Stuart,

That was a really nice version of this very early Beatle classic. I loved hearing your Scottish brogue coming through on the lyrics.

Daryl,
Great job! As others have mentioned, your strumming is superb. You do a great job of hitting those upstrokes just right.

Stuart,
Very impressive one man band! My brain struggles with trying to sing and play at the same time, I think if I added a third element like a harp, smoke would start coming out of my ears! :laugh: I enjoyed hearing you sing as well. Solid job all the way around.

Craig
