    Doug,
    Excellent.
    When modern life becomes too consuming, I just pull up you channel & listen to all the great songs you have done from the much simpler past. These are the times & songs I grew up with.
    Thanks for a respite from today's culture.
    Rick

    You kill me, Doug! I grew up in Poughkeepsie, NY, above a saloon, and spent many a Sunday in my aunt's bar. I heard Sukiyaki, Stranger on the Shore, Ring of Fire, Walking After Midnight, etc., etc., on the jukebox every day of my young life during the early sixties. Not only do these tunes bring me back, but they fill my heart to the point of bursting, as only music can do. It's that combination of melancholy and joy, and your creative genius, that I just can't get enough of. I can tell you feel the same way. Thank you so much, man, you are a gem!

    • @dougsteel
      @dougsteel  3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Thanks Tom, yes, these songs were the soundtrack of my youth too. I learned to play guitar on these tunes, and I was especially drawn to the instrumental hits of the era, The Ventures, Duane Eddy, and all the surf rock stuff. I ended up playing the steel guitar, and now I enjoy playing these tunes on steel. I’m glad you enjoy them as much as I do.

    Funny ..... I remember this song from when I was almost 10 years old, in 1963~!~ I was a little afraid of it, because it was one of the first times that I experienced melancholia from a piece of music,, and so I loved the melody, because it struck me in my heart,,, and now,,, at almost 70 years old,,, I feel exactly the same way,, and as I type this,, my eyes are very watery 😢

    Fun fact: the original title of the song is 上を向いて歩こう(Let’s Walk Looking Upward)however, the only Japanese words Kenny Ball knew were Sayonara (goodbye) and Sukiyaki (a Japanese dish which uses beef), so he chose his favorite “Sukiyaki” as a title for the English version.

    • @dougsteel
      @dougsteel  3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      I've heard that story about the name change. The way I heard it, after the song was a hit in Japan and was ready to go worldwide, the record company in London changed the title to Sukiyaki... an easier title for English-speakers to say and remember. It was a wise decision! 😊

    I just needed to relax for a few minute so I pulled up your channel. I am a long time guitar player and just wanted to hear some beautiful and fulfilling. I am now 71 years old and I think it might be a little late for me to learn how to play a pedal steel. I would try if there anyone around that would give me starter lessons but, alas there is not. I'll just sit back and listen, dream and wonder.....what if. Thank you for these sounds and memories.

    What a truly wonderful rendition of a very special song, It's worth remembering the original singer Kyu Sakamoto died along with 519 others when the 747 he was flying crashed in Japan when the botched repair of the rear end of the plane failed and blew off the the tail fin and it crashed into a mountain. Thank you.

    I learned that song in Japanese. It's a lost love song and has nothing to do with sukiyaki. Loved it as a kid. A perfectly crafted pop song. Nice version you got there, Doug.

    • @dougsteel
      @dougsteel  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Thank you! Glad you like it. You're right about the song title. The song was a hit in Japan, and then the record company decided to release the song in the UK and the USA... but they knew that the Japanese title would be difficult for DJs and the public to pronounce. So they re-named it Sukiyaki (a Japanese dish). 😆 That would be like re-naming a popular USA song "beef stew" (in Japanese) to release it in Japan. 😕

      I learned the Japanese version also - I was in Japan when this song was a huge hit there- I bought the album in Tokyo, all in Japanese, and learned the song by listening to it over and over. A Japanese/American shipmate translated it into English for me - at 80 , I am still singing along with it tonight as Doug plays the melody.

      One of my favorites too back in the day. This was a #1 pop hit in the USA just a couple of months before the Beatles came into view and changed the world!
