I write original songs and cover favorites of mine.
Blue Bayou(Roy Orbison Cover)
Blue Bayou was written by Roy Orbison and Joe Melton and recorded in 1961.It was released in 1963. Linda Ronstadt released it in 1977 and it did very well. I remember a baseball announcer called a pitch the Linda Ronstadt pitch because it blew by you. Hey, it was funny at the time.

Rocky Raccoon(Beatles Cover)

Rocky Raccoon was released on the White Album in Nov. 1968. There are countless stories about the recording session that you'll have to look up on your own. I saw a friends brother play this song and I thought, hey I could play that and so I have been playing it since 1972. Four chords how can you go wrong. I love this song.
That's Life(Frank Sinatra Cover)

I wrote this song about eighteen months ago and just found it. I remember at church someone was talking about love, joy and peace and I thought I should try and do something with that.I hope you like it.
Count on Me(Jefferson Starship Cover)

I was watching a movie and this song came on as the credits were rolling. I hadn't heard this song in ages. It's by Jefferson Starship and released in 1978. It's a great song and fun to sing.
Come to Her Senses(Original Song)

I wrote this in one of those moments when you think your wife doesn't know what a doofus you are. Actually she does and stills loves you. It doesn't stop you from thinking it though.
Because(Dave Clark Five cover)

This song was released in the UK as a B side. It was released as a single in 1964 as a single and went to #3 on the Billboard Chart. This is my wife and I favorite song. Kind of our song. I've played it for years and I really love it.
What a Wonderful World(Cover)
มุมมอง 68หลายเดือนก่อน
This is the song made famous by the great Louis Armstrong. It was recorded by Armstrong live in 1959. Recorded in studio in 1967 and released in 1968 but didn't do well. It became popular in 1988 with the release of the movie Good Morning Viet Nam. All courtesy of Wikipedia. It's a great song, I love it.
Under The Rainbow(Original Song)

Several years ago right after I turned 70, I got a little down. Nothing serious, just feeling my age. I got over it with writing songs and then posting them. I feel better now.

This is the Don Mclean song released in 1972. This is one of the greatest songs ever written. I love it.
Henry the 8th I am(Cover)
มุมมอง 46หลายเดือนก่อน
This is a music hall song from 1910 that the Hermans Hermits released in 1965. I don't know what made me think of it, but I did. I hope my friends across the pond aren't offended by my accent. I had to try.
Get Down(Gilbert O'Sullivan cover)
มุมมอง 85หลายเดือนก่อน
I heard this while watching a movie and it was playing on a car radio. I though, hmm, I haven't heard that song in fifty years. This was released by Gilbert O'Sullivan in 1973. I remembered the catchy tune and melody. I thought, I should do it.

Thank you so much for watching and subscribing to my channel. I really appreciate it. I hope you had a great holiday.
A well written song Jeff nicely performed. A difficult period for all of us. Great video and musical arrangement. 🌏 🎶. 🎸. 🎹. 👏. ❤
I played this for a friend of mine and he told me it was too depressing. That is why the last verse I tried to be optimistic. Thanks for the kind words Greg, I really appreciate it.
Nice story well performed Jeff. Catchy tempo, very well done. 🎵. 🎸 🎼 🎤 🌎
When I wrote this there were still original members alive. Since then there are no surviving members of the band. I've been thinking about redoing it with the original lyrics. One of my favorites.
As a regular guy myself I find this song quite refreshing…Gordon
Thank you. I appreciate all the regular guys across this great country. And gals.
Good cover. I am sure Paul would be pleased.
@@janetodonnell3564 reading what they went through recording the album, I’m surprised they ever got it done.
Linda Ronstadt also does a good job. But you are the best of course!
@@janetodonnell3564 of course!
Great song choice and cover, enjoyed listening 👍 🎶 👏 3:25
@@jenfi42 thank you. Might I say you have excellent taste. I appreciate you watching.
Beautiful cover 👍 🎶 2:20
@@jenfi42 thanks Jen-Phi. I really appreciate it.
I love Roy's music! What a voice he had! Linda did a great version too! I don't sing many Roy Orbison songs, because the range is very challenging! I tried to do "Indian Wedding" once (silly of me really, with all those key changes!), but I couldn't do a decent version, even going into falsetto! "Blue Bayou" is more manageable, but still not easy to sing! You do a very competent version here Jeff, and you are a braver man than me! 🙂👍
@@roberthaigh3206 the first thing I did was change the key. When it goes to the chorus, I don’t sing it higher. Plus I sang the song the same way Roy did except I added the instrumental.
Excellent choice of cover nicely performed Jeff. Lovely guitar variations, pleasant vocals, very nice work. 🎵 🎹. 🎸. 🎤 🗻. 🌌. ⛵. ⭐. 🍷
Thanks so much Greg. I kind of mixed the Roy Orbison and Linda Ronstadt versions. Made it my own.
Very good cover Jeff of this Beatles track. Love 💘 the tempo and your vocal delivery. Highly entertaining, well done ! Merry Christmas to you my friend. 👩❤️👨. 💃. 🌏. 🎅. 🎵. 🎸
Thanks Greg. It's an old standard for me. I wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas.
Excellent cover my friend sounds fantastic Happy Holidays excellent performance ❤😊 3:22
Thank you so much. May you and your family have a wonderful holiday season.
Merry X'mas and happy new year 2025 my friend. Thanks for your impressive singing and soothing acoustic cover during the X'mas season. Great enjoy 🎉
Thank you so much. I hope you and your family have a great holiday season. God bless.
Great cover friend ♾️💯👍 like
Thank you very much. I appreciate you listening.
I only vaguely remember this song. As you say, it was only a B-side (and album track) here in the UK, so it never got much air play over here. You cover it well, and it is a good song. 🙂👍
It was really strange how they released records back in the day. They don't do that now, which is good.
You are not a doofus!
Thanks for noticing. Have a Merry Christmas.
Fun song! Great job!
@@jbojm9 thank you for the kind words. I appreciate it. Thanks for watching.
Great cover Jeff, nicely performed in your own style. Well done ! ❤
@@greghulks6544 thanks Greg, I appreciate it. It’s a fun song to do. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Yes, this song will always conjure up memories of Frank Sinatra, choose whichever cover version we hear. Nicely done, my friend! 😊👍
@@roberthaigh3206 when I looked up the song I was surprised that it came out in 1966. I thought it was earlier. Thanks for watching. I appreciate it.
Great folk song, enjoyed listening 👍 🎶 2:37
Thanks Jenfi I appreciate it.
Great cover, sounds wonderful friend ♾️👍💯
@@ChangoGuitarras thanks for the kind words and for watching.
A fun song, but one that almost any man could relate to, if he's truly honest with himself! 😊👍
I wrote this because inside most men is that insecure 14 year old wondering how did I get so lucky. I've been married for 47 years.
Very nice and soulful original song I love the sentiments in the song and the way you createsuch warmth with your guitar tones and vocals ollie
@@thequietoneattheback thank you very much. I appreciate the kind words. I really like this song a lot.
Great cover. Alvarez sounds nice too. Best, Fingers.
@@FingersAndStrums thanks a lot. I appreciate it. The guitar is a Larravee.
Brilliant lyrics Jeff, a well performed original song. With love, we could all be on the same side ! If only. Have a nice day my friend. 🎵 🎿 ☕. 🌎. 👩❤️👩. 💐. 🏖 🌳. ❤
@@greghulks6544 thanks Greg. With all the craziness going on in the world, I wish we could have a little more love and understanding. I hope the song gets out there.
Impressive cover Jeff, nicely performed with feeling ! I love this guitar chord sequences, well done. 🎸 🎵. 🌏 ☕. ❤
@@greghulks6544 thanks Greg. I really appreciate it. Like you said the chord progression is great.
I used to love Jefferson Airplane back in the 1960's. They morphed into Jefferson Starship, of course, but I lost track of their career and their music somewhat after that. That is a roundabout way of saying I'm not familiar with this song -- but I like it! You do a good job with it here, Jeff! 😊👍❤
Thanks for listening and liking the song. I did remember it but it was the interesting chord progression in the verse that really got me. I just had to learn it.
Very nice cover 👍 🎶
Thanks for the listen and nice words. I really appreciate it.
It sounds great, beautiful performance 👍 🎶
Thanks for listening and for enjoying the song. it means a lot to me.
Good sentiments in this song, Jeff! Nicely written and performed! 🙂👍❤

Thanks for watching Jef.
A well constructed original song Jeff. Nice story, good lyrics, and wel! performed. 💃. 💏 🌏 🎵
Thank you Greg. I really appreciate you listening. I wrote it several years ago and decided to post a video.
I love 💘 the chord sequence and style here Jeff, nicely performed, good vocal delivery. An impressive cover, well done. 🎶. 🎸 🎙. 👨❤️👨
Thanks Greg. Fun Fact, I've been singing this song for years but it is a little high, so I tuned the guitar down a whole key. E down to D et cetera. It made it easier to sing. To lazy to drop down the key with the chords.
🔥🔥🔥 🗣️🗣️🗣️ 👏👏👏
@@1midman thanks I appreciate it.
Very nice cover, enjoyed listening 👍

Thanks Greg. I think everyone cycles through good times and bad and I was in a down time. I decided to write a song to get me out of it.
A lovely relaxed performance my friend. Well done Jeff, great cover. 🎶. 🎸. 🎼 ⭐ 🎨. 🌄. 🌹 🌳. 🐬 🐧 🌎

Did not know it was a music hall song!
I found that out on Wikipedia.
I remember when this came out. 6th grade! Of course you were only 3rd!
Where's the hat?
But a great regular guy! And the best brother!
Yes!
Nice cover!
