    You have such a smooth, pleasant voice, and I love your guitar work. In fact, I love everything you do - the whistling too!

    Wow. Don't hear this one anymore. My mom use to sing this to me when I was a very little boy. Amazingly, I still remember the lyrics. Whew! Didn't expect these emotions. Thanks for keeping these songs alive.

    So glad this popped up in my recommend videos again. Love your work. Found you on iTunes with Rachel and also your stuff with Matthew and David. Would love to see more of your tunes there. I love your style of comping and finger-picking in this song - if I close my eyes, there seems to be four musicians performing the song. Your voice is so soothing and effortless. Love your work!

    Vilray, on bandcamp i feel that you recorded voice while not playing... i think you need to do a organic album, is missing on the industry! Your home recordings are more organic, and there's a clear linking between you playing and your voice...! This is my favourite version by far!! Cheers from Portugal

  • @dannyguitartokyo
    @dannyguitartokyo 8 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Fabulous!!! The vibe is very compatible with the songs Woody Allen usually populates his soundtracks with. Vilray, you have a new fan here in Tokyo!

    • @dannyguitartokyo
      @dannyguitartokyo 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      1930s, right? btw, i am a fellow guitarist and composer & aficionado of old jazz (1900 up to 50s, but up to the present with folks playing those styles). i think the box you are playing here is an es-335 or related, or copy, etc..... what are the vintage guitars you are playing in the other videos? i see one acoustic archtop, normal style (a gretsch?), and one acoustic with the round sound board, like a republic guitar??

    Excellent!! (as usual). Just in case you are not aware there is a nice extra verse (sung by a female on the Kyser version):
    Out on the ocean, far from all the commotion,
    All to myself alone
    A twist in the rudder, and a rip in the sail
    Drifting and dreaming
    Throw the compass over the rail
