Enjoyment from start to finish. The song had a real energy: well arranged, well played, well sung.

Man, I really enjoyed that!
Fabulous, Dave. Sounds amazing, such a great guitar tone, and production is your usual top drawer quality.
I suspect I may have heard the Stray Cats do this or something similar. And maybe Jeff Beck doing that style on the album Crazy Legs (Jeff Beck & the Big Town Playboys). Great video of a performance given at Ronnie Scotts.
Mix wise and based on what I am hearing through a headset on the standard PC audio (rather than mixing cans and AI), I would like to have heard the bass coming through a little stronger. Such a great riff, walking bass line.
Lovely way to start my day!!
@sairfingers Gordon, Thank you. I appreciate the feedback.
The songs or players? Well, I guess both. But it’s fun to go back and see how all this started. To me, the simplicity of some of the old songs is pretty amazing.

Hi, Brian. Thanks for taking this one for a spin and for the feedback. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Man, I really enjoyed that!
@Barrysascotsman Barry, Thank you. Really glad you enjoyed it.

@DavidP Hi, David. Thanks for that feedback, very encouraging. It’s interesting, if you go back and listen to the Etta James version, how these old songs can change over time but yet still be relevant.
I’ve got to agree with your comments on the bass. I’m going to go with my gut from now on, I think. Some of these older songs just call out for a heavy bass line.
I’ve got to say this bass line is fun to play and very versatile.
Really glad it was a good start to your day!
Great performance I am starting to learn some old rock n roll, long tall sally, chantilly lace and somethin else by Eddie Cochran who was killed in a car crash not far from where I live and one of the police officers who attended was later known as Dave Dee of dozy, beaky, mick and tich.
Great stuff, Dave! I enjoyed rockig along on my couch.
Great groove going on, all is so well played, vocal performance as superb as always and the overall production is also really good. Nothing to offer but applause from my end.
Please keep them coming, it’s always a pleasure to listen to your offerings!
Hey there Dave,
I think from what I heard prior of this one. You managed to turn a good song into a bonified toe tapper. Nice job all around. I went full screen on my 32" monitor and took in your finger work on the bass strings, along with your box lead play. Nice stuff, for sure. Sounds the better part of it too!
All you need now is a travel guitar, so you can play when you hit the road!
All the best and keep up the vibe!

Fully enjoyed this! Tapped my foot throughout, loved the walking bass and your solo was spot on!
Well that was a jolly 12 bar romp Dave. Another song that new to me but a really enjoyable listen. As usual well played and sung combined with a well constructed video, given the processing limitation. Top job.
Well that was another excellent one, Dave. I’m enjoying and learning from this new production format you’ve been treating us to lately. Keep them oldies coming.
You’re on a roll, Old Man, and my guiding star!
You inspired me today to have a go using the octaver setting on my Pod Go for the first time. Not necessarily good, but fun!
Thank you, Sir
Another good, well produced and performed song, Dave. Look forward to your next.
@Willsie Hey, John, sorry, somehow I missed you on first go-round of responses.
Thanks for stopping by and for the feedback. Maybe I can get to that John Lee Hooker song I was originally looking for.
@Guitarman63 Hi, John. Your bio reads like a lot of ours; start, stop, start, stop, find Justin and get it going. Thanks for the comment. Sounds like you’re getting into some good stuff, and I’ll be looking forward to your posts. Got to love the oldies!
@Lisa_S Hi, Lisa. Always nice to hear from you, and I do appreciate your feedback.
Hopefully there will be more coming, but it will be a while. This one popped up unexpectedly and was went together fairly quickly. Leaving on holiday Friday for a while without guitar and, in lot of spots, without internet. Actually, I kind of like getting away from it for a bit.
@Lbro Hey there, LB, glad you got you toe going to this one. Thanks for the feedback. Hopefully, you’ll get the brace off and start working on the 4-fret box.
No travel guitars for me. It’s a holiday from everything.
@MollyT Molly, Glad you enjoyed this. Thanks for the bass comment too; it’s fun to play that line.
@TheMadman_tobyjenner Hi, Toby. Thanks for the review. Yeah, that 12 bars was fun. Every time I play it, it comes out different. The joys of improv, I guess.
Not sure what you meant by “well constructed video”. If talking about the licks and solo being added into the rhythm part, it wasn’t an edit, it was re-recorded with both parts played. Thanks for stopping by.
@Socio Hey, James, Glad you enjoyed this offering, but I can’t believe you are learning from it, after hearing you play. But if you are, great!! I’m sure there will be more oldies - I’m kind of stuck there, I think.
@brianlarsen Well, Brian, the roll is over; leaving on holiday Friday. Guiding star?
I don’t think you need one, and I don’t know if I can live with that responsibility!
BUT I’m glad you are spreading your wings even further. I’ll comment on “have a go” directly. Seriously, glad to see you venturing out.
Wow nice production all around. Rock N Roll! Loved your lead playing! Good job!
Thanks, Byron. Appreciate you stopping by and your feedback.
Keep on rockin’, Dave, super performance and great production …
@Elixir1253 Thanks for the encouraging feedback. Hope to get going again when back from vacation in 2 or 3 weeks.
