Me, like it!

Glad you like it Robert, and thanks for stopping by.

@sclay

Your grandkids are very fortunate to have a grandfather like you. They’ll never forget it.

Thanks for the feedback, Shane. I’m finding that being relaxed and knowing the material so I don’t tense up really helps my playing. As far as the grandkids, it really is about building memories.

@LBro

Good production, though it sounds like you have some layered guitars going there and maybe a video

LBro, thanks for the feedback. Another video might be interesting, but I’m trying to keep it simple. Simple things for simple people. Maybe when I get my new computer and I don’t have to fight it with more than one video.

@twistor59

Great stuff, put a smile on my face!

Thanks, Phil. Putting a :grinning on your face I’ll take as an up thing.

@DarrellW

Most enjoyable, great production, playing…… oh just everything

Thanks so much Darrell. Glad you stopped by and took a listen.

Dave, as others have said, nicely played and sung and arranged. I really like the intro riffs. It brought to mind the beginning riff of The Allman
Brothers Band song Rambin’ Man. Great tone and production in the song. Thanks for putting a smile on my face.

@brianlarsen

Love to see you’re still churning out these high-end productions, Man!
Impeccable playing, singing and production as usual, even if my body is still ‘reverberating’ a minute after the song finished )
Loved the solos. Sounded perfect to these lugs.
My only ‘niggle’ is that, although I’m a great fan of the Fab Four, this ditty joins the Jaundiced Submarine and Oh Bloody-Dah in my ‘unmentionable playlist’
Maybe you should do When I’m Ninety Four and name-check your grandchildren?

@oldhead49

when I visit Wales

We’re just across the North Wales border, if you’re ever in the area. I’d roll out the red carpet!

Hi, Brian. You know, I always like to read your feedback, and I do appreciate your comments. I’m with you on this song, Jaundiced Submarine and Oh Bloody-Dah!! Only you would come up with nomenclature like those. Crack me up.

Your invite is appreciated and I’ll certainly look into our schedule. We were coming in September/October, but looks like we might have to put it off until Spring next year because of issues here. I’ll definitely keep you posted when things start to develop.

@Beatup6String

Enjoyed that one Dave! It brought a smile to my face for sure… nice playing, singing and production!

Thanks you, Ashu for that feedback. Smile on your fact - mission accomplished!

Thanks, Steve. I appreciate your comments. But the smile on your face, puts one on mine.

It is catchy and a bit of an ear-worm. But personally I am not a great lover of the second half of The Beatles career. Enjoy the early simple pop-rock n roll sing alongs.

Not playing much, struggling to refind mojo after the time away. And time got filled with other pursuits.

Otherwise I am very well, thanks

[domi7]

That was very nice to listen to and look at! Thank you!
I liked this song already as a kid and would like to perform it one day too.

[CD02]

Damn, Dave that was really enjoyable, what a really nice sound you had dialled in all round mate

[sairfingers]

What a fun version of the song Dave. A super production as always.
I still have the original vinyl Abbey Road bought in 1969 somewhere in the attic!
I must give this one a go as I’m sure my grandkids would love it too.
Thanks for bringing back the memory but, as others have said, it’s perhaps not the one of the fab four’s greatest hits!

[Silvia80]

Dave I love this song from The Beatles, it’s such a cheerful fun song and it definetely gives me an up. I much enjoyed your version, amazing production and everything!
Another fun one would be…Bang bang Maxell silver hammer came down upon her head tudu dudu…

[crocodile1]

brilliant performance, Dave!
I had a great time listening to your playing and singing.
very high level, as always! Bravo!

[andyPlays]

[Jonjdarcy]

Lovely playing and arrangement Dave - brought a. If smile to my face
