    ‘magical disappearing/reappearing hat’. Hahaha! Great cover, performed perfectly. Thank you, Russ and Under the Sun.

      I had to add that at the end. While I was editing the video I thought, "Oh shit, sometimes I'm wearing a hat, other times I'm not". Best to make something funny out of it. Thanks for the kind words!

    Hot diggity dang! One of the most underrated hits in the ELO catalogue and probably one of the most challenging to recreate. You boys nailed it, kept the energy and momentum of the original and added some nice vocal harmonies and that Beatlesque coda! As a huge ELO fan, I thank you all!

    • @russwilloughby501

    Best cover ever for this song. I really liked how you made costume, hair and make up changes while playing guitars, bass and keyboard.

    Russ, I was wondering how often you hear from any of the artists that you've covered? They must be impressed.

    • @russwilloughby501
      @russwilloughby501  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Mark. Actually, I've not heard a word from any of the artists. "Turn to Stone" has been shared on an ELO Facebook fan page, and a friend of mine is a Facebook friend with one of the writers of one of the tunes (can't remember which one), and I know he shared it with him, but I haven't heard what his reaction was. My acoustic version of "Let it Ride" was shared on Randy Bachman's Facebook page, and Randy liked it, but didn't comment.

      @@russwilloughby501 Sooner or later, you're going to hear from some of them. Your work is my favorite music 'go-to' and I love my new sound system.

    Tell me...How does it feel to turn on a 100 mph fastball and knock it out of the park? Wow.
