STREETS OF LONDON/Ralph McTell/Mike Sinatra Cover

[@HaroldYoder-sj3yw]

For the last few hours I've been picking my way through your videos. I heard you first earlier today and can't stop listening! You seem to sing every one of my favorites, including this one! Your song choices are perfection and your performances are spot on! You are the real deal! You are the Songman!

[@songmansinatra120]

Thanks Harold!

[@BruceLee-zd9bw]

What a fantastic version.

[@stinkyhound]

Bought the album on I tunes a few days ago and haven't stopped playing it . I'd give my right arm to own a covers album from Mike S ... God bless you Mr Sinatra for making my life feel much better 😍

[@songmansinatra120]

Thanks! I have cover Cds if you’re interested. It’s very expensive to ship to UK though.

[@frankchiafari]

Just a classic song done to perfection.

[@moonleafgreytv9262]

Thank you, ive been looking for a perfect cover acoustic of this song..

[@songmansinatra120]

thank you!

[@John-Johnston]

Mmmm...smooth....and so thought provoking. Great job!

[@aplacetohideaway]

A dear friend of mine introduced me to this song a few years back...it is an amazing song, and you do it so very well.

[@blizerand]

Sad songs are allways my prefered melodies. This ralph mc Tell song wakes up in me so beautiful memories from summers at the end of 70th years in France. Great sound, emotive voice and picking is so fluid.A fabulous moment to ear you, I go new step, to ear your interpretation of James Taylor songs, one of my favorite singer on the other face of the Atlantic (i'm french, sorry for my poor english). Thank's to my friend Lydia who move me towards these beautiful guitar cover

[@songmansinatra120]

thanks very much! really appreciate that. like you i'm a fan first of the music. and your english is much better than my french lol...

[@MickeyBavington]

good version very good sound too

[@jonathanisaacs5148]

I'd love to hear you do some of Eva Cassidys covers. Thanks, you've re-energized my playing which in the main is folk.

[@fireinnlads]

Stumbled on to an oldie but goodie. A fave of mine and you do it more than justice. Well done as always.

[@songmansinatra120]

thanks very much!

[@datoni_relaxed]

Wonderful version of a wonderful song♥

[@songmansinatra120]

Thank you

[@5051frost]

Very nicely done -

[@editszilagyi1596]

This song is really in your soul! Cheerful tune with sad lyrics. When I lived in England I heard Tom Paxton for the first time on record....you remind me of him, though it´s not a Tom Paxton song originally...just a blend of my own memories; your voice and the tune....

[@songmansinatra120]

thanks very much! truly a great song....

[@michaelhermiston]

certainly the same sort of 'compassion for the outcast' as many Paxton tunes… tender, beautiful version Mr S ..love this…. thanks

[@songmansinatra120]

***** thanks very much!

[@andrer.scipio5352]

[@DavidSilk1956]

I recently did this same song IN MY BATHROOM (lol - the video of it is on my humble channel). I’ve been playing and singing it since I was about 16 (I’m an old boy of 63 now), but goddamn it young Mike, as I don’t have a fraction of your talent my effort isn’t a bloomin’ patch on this one of yours!! So very well done matey. This was a great rendition of a beautiful old classic song and I loved it. Thanks for letting me listen.

[@songmansinatra120]

thanks David! much appreciated. I'm catching you i turned 60 in december....

[@StumptownBoy]

Hi, Mike:
This was truly amazing, as usual. I have to say, though, for all I thought I knew about music, I don't think I'd ever heard this song. So, thanks for introducing it to me.

[@folkmusicgirl]

Mike:
Forgot to mention of another Ralph McTell song that I like very much and maybe you might enjoy it, (if you don't already know it). It is a song of his called, "Barges." There are two versions on TH-cam by Ralph. One from his early album called, Not Till Tomorrow" and another updated version from his album called "Silver Annivesary." There is one line in the song that is very sad, "Thinking of Mama, sometimes in my dreams."
Linda
