Thanks Dave! I set the reverb to try and match that wonderful hall you play in from time to time. Can’t match the beautiful acoustics of that room, but I got a nice basement feel ha! I was going to just do a video of me playing. I had the weekend to think about it, and as you can see, I prettified it with distractions.

I except your invitation and if you can’t find me, look for  build #102 or 167 or 213, I’ll be admiring and playing them AGP! I’m going to have to check the Gale Storm and Patty Page versions. Prominent if only in my own mind, your too kind my friend, thank you very much!

Thanks Bob, I’m wowed by the generous compliment! I’ve always liked this song, only has three chords, so that’s a big plus, and I know Dave Edmunds the best, fits in my low key wheelhouse. Much appreciated, thank you my friend!

Great Sundberg spin on this one Richard! Excellent vocals and guitar playing. Cool rockin' drum beat. Super clean mix. Pro video as always!

Thanks so very much Denbo! I felt the same, very comfortable in this range and style of singing.

I do a song I Hear You Knocking and I start off with a doorbell...go figure, I need my head examined. The cat prefers the box Uncle. I was surprised by some of the artists and how far back the song goes. I was going to do a Little Richard rendition, but the doorbell woke me up. Thanks for your comments Uncle!

I Hear You Knockin', and You Can Come In, the Welcome Mat is out for this performance Richard, a great old tune by done by many of the prominent performers of our time, Smiley Lewis, Dave Edmunds, Fats Domino, Gale Storm, Richard Sundberg  :-)

You've knocked it out of the park!  You've put your own mark on this vintage-sounding rendition of a widely played and popular song!
