Jordan, I'm proud that you have positive memories of those schooldays.

That's pleasing to know.

Thank you for that Karl. I particularly enjoyed the part where the two different melodies and lyrics are sung against each other.

One of only 2 songs by Brenda Lee made the UK top 10, the other being Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree'

I'm letting you know, because I've valued your comments, that I'm taking a break from music making. Having produced 643 music videos, it's been pointed out to me, that because of the way RUclips organises what potential viewers see when they visit a channel, such as mine, it takes quite a bit of effort, time and dedication to locate older/oldest uploads where there may be, like mine, be several hundred videos. For that reason, as currently I've no plans to do more, I've decided to put some of my oldest music videos on my other, currently empty, RUclips channel. If people wish to subscribe to that channel, they'll see what I produced many years ago. I've posted one video on the other channel and will probably add more on subsequent Sundays. Thank you again for your support in the past. Best wishes Geoff. ruclips.net/video/aVjOdbS61Xk/видео.html

@@alexandergeoff ok. I'm not really sure if I understand. But if you think that is best. I'll be seeing your music suggestions as I always do so I'll be checking them out. Thanks for letting me know Geoff!

I didn't know if you were subscribed to my regular channel so was letting you know that for the forseeable future I've no plans to play more music and was merely letting you know that as a regular viewer you may wish to dig in to my earlier recordings, that was all. If you see my videos through recommmendations then nothing will change.

@@alexandergeoff ok I'll watch your older videos Geoff.

Sorry Paul, I cant do dots or tabs. I just play what sounds right to me.

Thanks. So many great 60s songs.

Thanks

@@alexandergeoff Thank you for the courtesy of the update and all the wonderful music. You area an inspiration. Godspeed.

Thank you. It's constantly surprising how often music can elicit memories.

The Sun is shining and thanks to a solar storm we may get to see the northern lights tonight. Thank you

@@alexandergeoff Thank you Geoff. My wife and I have really enjoyed finding a fresh video from you every week and it actually became a bit of a tradition on a Sunday morning to hear your take on these classic songs but we completely understand your situation. We will be however subscribing to your other channel and are already looking forward to what will be there to find. p.s Please take pride in what you have done with these videos as you have brought moments joy to many people.

That is so heartning to hear Gaz. My best to both to you and your wife.

I saw the film 'The Five Pennies' as a child and have a copy on my hard drive. There are so many good songs in it and I, too, love the full version with Satchmo, Danny Kay and Barbara Bel Geddes, all singing together. Thanks for responding.

Thanks Fingers.I see we have several songs and songwriters for whom we share a mutual liking. Even after 640 covers I still find more I want to sing.

@@alexandergeoff Yes, the more you do, the more you want to do! Keep 'em coming!

Thanks Fezz

Ich freue mich sehr, eine solche körperliche Reaktion hervorzurufen. Freut mich, dass es Ihnen gefallen hat.

This is a song that very few people will know, even here in the UK where it was a No6 in the charts as the group made little impact. So thank you once again Carlo.

When I like songs that I don't know, I get curious and I immediately went to listen to the original and read up a little...true...it's a shame they had little success...they certainly deserved it...listening to other songs of the pop genre by those early 70's years

@@alexandergeoff Do you know what I discovered?? that many RUclipsrs, precisely for the reason he said, publish old short videos in a "burst". Personally, I don't like this way of doing things, but you know... as our old proverb says: "The world is beautiful because it is varied"!!!

I've, in total, covered 9 Hollies songs and because of the wide vocal range of group members, they can be challenging, so thanks you.

Glad you enjoyed it

I'd always thought the Easybeats were English, but I was wrong.

Headphones lock out the world and let us be completely absorbed in the music, unaware of the effect we may be having on others. Singing along is one of life's pleasure that cost nothing :)

@@alexandergeoff May one put across some requests for future tracks, from time to time?

To date I've covered over 650 songs. My selection process is that the song must have opportunities for harmonies and is fitting with my playing abilities. Additionally because I play by ear, they must be within my capabilities of discerning the chords and they must be songs that I like and would enjoy playing. As it happens the song I put out this morning was a song that came about as a request so I'd be happy to receive a request but please don't be offended if it's not one I choose to record.

David, there are some songs that just make me feel good when I play/sing them and this is one.So am grateful for the comment.

@@alexandergeoff Am I right in my curiosity though... a little Californian surf twang in your guitar playing?

Firstly at no time do I consider myself to be a lead guitar player of any proficiency, my focus being on the vocals harmonies and rhythm guitar. In truth what comes out is just what comes out at the time, and no doubt I will have been influenced by many decades of listening to music but I don't set out to emulate any particular style for a certain song. However since receiving your comment I've just gone back and listened to the track for the first time since I put it out four years ago and I've got to say in retrospect I'm pleased with the solo break.

You can't keep a good song down Carlo-thank you.

Of course...you're absolutely right!!!

I'm pleased that this song was suggested to cover. Thank you.

I'd never heard of them as I only knew the song by the Four Tops

Subscribed and good to go! I'll miss your new music but I appreciate all that you say. Blessings my friend in all that you do, keep on keepin' on!

Thank you so much

I'm not familiar with that version but I'll make a point of giving it a listen thank you

I've just watched Johnny and the... , a good rendition.

Thanks for the suggestion

You are welcome.

Keep doing so and hope you find something you enjoy.

I don't do tabs, generally playing by ear. In response to your request, I've looked back at the video and believe that, as a fellow guitar player, if you watch it, it should be easy to discern the chords to the introduction and also the verse, The chorus is less easy to see so here are the chorus chords, G F#m G Bm A F#m D G G F#m G Bm A F#m D G Hope that helps.

Joe Egan doesn't get enough acknowledgement when Stealers Wheel is mentioned.

I was unaware of his full name. We can learn something new every day!

@@alexandergeoff Yes. Note. Record company (DECCA?) misspelled his name and he stuck with it.

Alright, alright, alright, thank you!

I've never seen them live but have enjoyed watching videos of complete concerts by Brian Wilson and also the BBs

It's true Tom, making music is my recreation and I do, as you say, have a good time. Thanks

I was gifted that song on a 78 rpm.

@@alexandergeoff I remember 78s, 33s, 45.

As a child I first heard that song on a 78 rpm record

As do I.

A great tune indeed. Happy Easter

Many thanks and happy Easter to the band

Thank you too Bill.

Thanks Bob! It's a fun, novelty, song which is good to do for a change.

It's a song I've enjoyed perfoming for many years. Thank you

I play by ear so don't use tablature. These are just bass lines based on the root chords.

As you'll appreciate, music has the ability to give us purpose and pleasure at any age, so I'm very pleased to hear that I was an inspiration.

I've put out new music videos every Sunday, for several years, and as long as I am able, will continue to do so. Hope you'll tune in.

Thanks again

Enjoy!

Wherever we are from, music has the power to unite us. Thanks

Maybe we are of a similar age

@@alexandergeoff Yes, I`m 70 years young 😅and I come from the former GDR

Thank you and the same to you Fezz

Thanks
