Monte Montgomery - Rocketman 

Never heard of this guy until the last episode of 2 bears 1 cave and Ron White recommended him. Glad I gave it a listen.

I came across a video twenty years ago with Monte in a small venue doing Romeo and Juliet. As a fan of acoustic guitar from the time I bought my first Yamaha FG in "83, I have been a fan ever since!

Ask and you shall receive. Monte's live streams have been a real blessing during this pandemic.

Can't believe I missed him at Sam's burgers this year. Super small club in San Antonio. I saw him a couple of years ago. Literally could have reach out and touched his shoes. Jesus, I look at the view numbers, I mean seriously what kind of world do we live in.

I think this dude could sing any song in the world and make it sound better than the original artist. I have seen Monte live 3 or 4 times.

So awesome to see Monte getting some love and recognition outside here in Austin....Austinites have been catching Monte's shows localy since the 90's and he's not only the best acoustic rock guitarist on the planet, he puts on a great show. Always has. Check out his cover of 'Sara Smile' if you haven't already....it was good enough to get him invited on Live From Daryl's House a few years back.

My all-time favorite guitarist!! Miss being in Austin and seeing him live (or anywhere live for that matter). :)

Beautiful playing. Soon that guitar will be old enough to be having a drink with Willie Nelson’s. ..somewhere Lenny Breau is smiling.

He deserves every accolade, every listen and every best wish. Come to the SF Bay Area, Monte, asap!

Great version of this classic song with some super chord voicings. Monte seems like a really nice bloke too. May he prosper.

jaw dropping. this is my usual reaction to Monte

Well done! Great voice and beautiful chords.

Hell yeah! Beautiful!

Huge fan from Singapore. Thanks for posting and keep at it, Monte.

Just bought three of your albums today on Amazon. You do beautiful work, Monte. I love this rendition, too. Thank you!!

Cheers from Brasil!

Brilliant 👏

terrific cover!

best version I know of....love this man...

Damn. Slayed it….

Great signing too! Wow.

Excellent guitar and soothing voice!

Hello Monte, thanks for sharing.

You have a brazilian fan! Love you Monte!

Happy Birthday Monte!

Very cool. Didn‘t know what to expect but this arrangement definetly works. Good singing too. Excellent solo performance

Monte remains one of the most talented musicians in modern music.

👏 Bravo 👏 👏

wow man great!!!

This is just sick. In a great way! He takes a song and makes it his. Kind of wonder how he developed his style of playing. So different, and fresh.

Monte, So happy to see you in these tough times. Maybe you’re getting some gigs. I’ve always been your fan. Love your music.

..nicely done sir

Uno de los temas inmortales de Elton John. The best

When Will I Look Back!

100% youre the best!!

You get a Hellllllllllllllllllllll Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh from me...

Thanks to LFDH I got to know Monte and he's truly great. His smoothness on that's what I feel about'cha made me a fan for life. Awesome stuff man.

spot on m8

.... wenn man dies von anderen hört merkt man erst wie anspruchsvoll dieser Titel ist... im Orginal klingt das alles so selbstverständlich.... aber... hier finde ich es hervorragend... I like it

Thanks Ron White for the recommendation

Nailed it. But you knew......didn't you, MM?!

Stress free playing. Most of electric guitarists lug their racks and boxes around. We sit down and play wherever we are.

Saw you at a theater in Clovis New Mexico around 1997 and then you went over to a small bar same night and played a little bit more for a small crowd. I've been a fan ever since and really hope you are doing well though this damndemic :( Wondering if you are ever planning any new material in the future?!?!?!

🤘🏼🍻🇺🇸

Great. Monte, why all the electric guitars in back when I've only seen you play accoustic?

Lovely! Is it just me, or does he look like Steve Bannon here?

I think it would sound better uncapoed

Really. Please. Enough prologue.
