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)
มุมมอง 279 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา
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.

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.

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.

Get Down(Gilbert O'Sullivan cover)

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.

    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! 🙂👍
