I saw you walking down my street you jump and smile oh so sweet you didn't even look my way you passed me by on that cloudy day At first I knew not what to do so curious, I followed you Suddenly, to my surprise I found myself beginning to cry From my window, you'd gone leaving me here all alone (yeah) Now I'm oh, so sad and blue My mind is filled with pleasant thoughts of you I sit here thinking, feeling oh so low Hoping and praying, from my window (oh)
my dear , i know a well known nationaly sydicated Garage rock DJ that would love to interview your grandpa over the phone, he has in fact interviewed many former members of 1960's garage bands, can you ask your grandpa if he would be willing to spend a very fun and humorous half hour with Bill Kelly on sirious radio part of little stevens underground garage show??
Is your grandpa's first name Mike or Don? I also played guitar in The Shaynes. I wrote the music and played lead guitar on this song. I saw Mike a few months ago in Lancaster.
I love the story the singer tells! He falls in love with a girl he spots while looking out his window! He’s just floored by her beauty and mannerisms! He wants to meet her and make her his! You know something, I can honestly relate!
My friend in New Zealand, his distant cousin was in this band and he too has an original single, should have made the American top one hundred!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Also the number one track from a compilation called "Stompin' Time Again" by X-Bat records in 2000. "You Tell Me Girl" and "Valarie" are on it also. A note on the front of the CD says it's "A collection of Southern Pennsylvania's Greatest Groups from 1965-1974 Featuring the Pee Vee and DB labels" A lifelong friend and huge record collector from Lancaster who has a lot to do with X-Bat records sent me a copy when it came out and I've played the life out of it. There are twenty-six tracks on it and everyone of them are great. You do outstanding work here my friend. Keep on doin' it. Thanks!
The played a lot in Lancaster, PA area. You Tell Me Girl was their most popular tune. They used to highlight their live shows by playing the crying version of Valerie done by Jackie and the Starlites in 1960.
@@joehuxta5096 All of you musicians from the 60s are legends as far as I'm concerned. This is another good one. From a 21 year old who loves this kind of music.

Hello Joe Huxta! I would like to have a more pleasant talk with you about your experiences with Shaynes, I hope I have the honor that you can contact me, my email: elenorrainbow@gmail.com thank you.

you jump and smile oh so sweet
you didn't even look my way
you passed me by on that cloudy day
At first I knew not what to do
so curious, I followed you
Suddenly, to my surprise
I found myself beginning to cry
From my window, you'd gone

Thanks buddy
I think he actually said.. your charm and smile
This is really a great song. First time I've heard it. Wished I could have seen them play live.
appreciate this
Thanks for sharing the lyrics to this song wonderful song for which it's excellent indeed. Keep On Rockin...Because the 60's are still alive in us!!!
my grandpa was in the band, he played guitar. he still talks about it to this day.
Let him know there's a world of people still listening to and appreciating his music!
Say hi to him from a 61 Yr old lady who dances to this most mornings ..love and peace xxxx

Tell your grandpa this tune is ABSOLUTELY BOSS - a guy his age said so!!
This is what the sixties was about. Bands on every block.
And so much smoking talent....
I love the story the singer tells! He falls in love with a girl he spots while looking out his window! He’s just floored by her beauty and mannerisms! He wants to meet her and make her his! You know something, I can honestly relate!
Classic garage rock. I hope these guys got through the war on ok. Guys from this era were draft age smack in the middle of Vietnam
Another 60s garage band song that I never heard before, but I like it a lot!
5 dislikes?? ... How can you not like this? You are MAD!
Right This song is brilliant!!
just found this gem ..now on repeat ..makes me happy ❤❤
A lot of squares out there who aren't hip to the cool. Rock 'n roll 60s 4 ever!
They're probably punks who think they invented rock and roll or "classic rock" listeners whose brains were fried after ten albums.
A Classic! Fist heard this on the "Gathering of the Tribe CD" Love the drummers style on this as well as great vocal/lyrics. Cool!
Fantastic composition, great vocat, interesting beautiful vocal!!!!
My friend in New Zealand, his distant cousin was in this band and he too has an original single, should have made the American top one hundred!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Graham! I played lead guitar on this song written in 1966.
@@joehuxta5096 Would sound good on a Ricky Twelve String I play it on a Strat
@@pottyman58 I played it on a Fender Mustang.
@@joehuxta5096 Do you still play, do you still have the Mustang, and when are The Shanes doing a reunion tour.??????????????

Would you please share with us your tabs? I need to play this song
@@Hux6450 Your drummer is still alive as of 10 months ago.
Never liked 60s music particularly, but this stuff is getting me into it. Loving this one
One of my all time fave moody garage psych 45's - nice post hombre! ;o)
killer

Last time I saw You guys was at the Brickerville Fire Company. You deserved airplay at a higher level.
By the way, the original song was spelled Valarie.
Real music
Damn right it's real music! Right on!!

@@tommyl.dayandtherunaways820 Thanks - much appreciated!
@@jsteviehess Thanks Steve! I appreciate that.
Such a dreamy, yet compelling chord progression: Em D A C
With a G A E two liner.
Try it at 10 percent slower. It opens out.
This is the magic of the garage: doing the best with little.
Amazing drums!!!
That’s for sure!
Amazing everything!
Quarantine got me keeping close quarters with this cleanass window, yo! Real talk tho, pass that windex
When did this come out ? Probably sometime in 1966 ?
Love this early garage/psych. Vietnam era.
@@hugbug4408 Yes, '66. If you take a look at the description under each video uploaded on this channel, you'll always see some info about the bands.
