Hi Ric, Thank you very much. I used rather more echo and reverb than I normally do, as it fitted the sing quite well. kind regards, Dave

Hi Dave.. Lovely music... Very well played, and it sounds good. And the video i really great!!! All the best, Tryggvi

Thanks so much for doing this great hit, Dave. All of your instrumentals are so well done and this one was especially nice and so classy with the great video clips you most carefully intertwined with the music. Superb job. Many thanks for posting all these great instrumentals for all of us to enjoy! You've given me the inspiration I desperately needed to pick up my guitar again and start playing, after letting it sit - collecting dust for so many years!

The wind is old,mr.dave,beatiful music excellent sound.felicidades desde chile.

Hi George. Thank you very much. I think it works OK. Kind Regards Dave

Dear Dave, Thank you very much.Very nice cover with remarkable voice of your guitar. Your background is getting better and better (my opinion). It helps to get deeper in your cover. I LIKE it. Best regards, Dedstar

Excelente música y mejor instrumental.

Hi Tony, Thank you very much. I'm glad you liked it. Have a great day, Dave

Hi, Dave ! I agree with Steve, that this works better as an instrumental, as the vocal's a bit twee for me, and the tempo's better on this version, also. Well played, my friend. BTU. All the BEST, Dan.

Thank you very much Tony, have a good evening, Kind regards Dave

Hi Dave, A song I have not heard for a very long time. Great sound, really coming through sharp, strong and clear, excellently presented as is becoming the norm from you, more thumbs from me, enjoyed very much. Best Regards, Bob

Hi Dave, what fabulous job you have made of this, great tone and playing, Thank You,

Hi Steve, It's interesting that we have the likes and don't likes for Frankie's song, but I suppose that's what makes the world go round. I hope the memories weren't too annoying! Kind regards Dave

i love it !

Hi Monia, Thank you very much. I'm glad you liked it.Kind regards, Dave

Hi Marc, Well I have all the time I want for my Guitar playing now I have retired and my wife is still working. I tend to do two tunes a week. but I don't touch the guitar at the weekends or in the evenings. I spend that time with my wife. Yes I have been known to sleep sometimes, as long as it doesn't interfere too much with my guitar playing! lol All the best Dave

Hi Dave, you chose the most beautiful Venus pics available on the net. Must have been a hard work ahahah!!! Had to listen to your rendition three or four times. The Avalon's beauties grabbed me lol. Have a nice day. Luca

Hi Dave, great cover of this song or our teen years. It brings back the memories, but my youth LOL. All the best, Peter

Hi Geoff, Ha ha...you are welcome! Thank you and yes, I'll see you Thursday. Enjoy your day, Dave

evry your cover better than original! mistery!

So pretty back was very nice.

Hi Geoff, Many thanks. Kind Regards Dave

Hi Ian, Many thanks. Yes I think it makes a good instrumental too. And I have to agree, although I would never have thought of it myself, that a muted section would have been perfect there. I obviously haven't got your ear for it. Have a great day, and thanks for the 10/10 Dave

Hi Laci, Thank you very much. Kind regards Dave

Hi, Thank you very much. I just think you are another guy who likes the scantily clad girls! lol and I don't blame you! lol Best regards Dave

im back 2 years later and still wow.............

🌼🌼🌼🌼👍

💝💐💐💐💐😘

Wow

Hi Roger, Oh well, we can't all like the same things I suppose! I think Frankie sang it well... Ha Ha. I also, just for a minute, thought you were talking about Lara Fabian..she's fabulous, but then I did a quick search and found the "Turn me loose" Fabian. I had forgotten all about him. Not too surprising! Anyway, Hopefully you'll like my next one. Kind Regards Dave p.s. I'll have a listen to The Cruel Sea!

WOW! loved that! didn't it make a great instrumental? A very haunting tune and you got the tone spot on! I loved that sound of the late 50's n early 60s from the male singers around that time, just a thought have a listen and at 1:39 do you think a touch of Palm mutting around there shads style would have been a nice touch! just a thought! for me its just asking for it around that point!. anyway it was still a gem! Well Done 10/10 Keep Rockin! Ian

👍👍🌺🌺🌺🌺☕️

Hi Dave, When Frankie sings it he uses an echo/reverb effect, so I thought I would do the same. I just use Google images search. Regards Dave

Hi Dan, Twee, yes, even sloppy. but I enjoyed the original. But I was fourteen at the time, and easily pleased. Best regards, Dave

sloppy song but after all, it was a part of the fabric of our youth, well played Dave and interesting backing.

💖🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷👌🎸🎶

Hi Tryggvi, Many thanks to you. I just think you like the girls! lol Best Regards Dave

Such a beautiful sound from your setup. My cheep SX 10 wat amp and Behringer pedal sount very tiny in comparison.

Felicidades tocas excelentemente . gracias por compartir lo que sabes, eres un virtuoso de la guitarra. Me podrias compartir la Pista. muchisimas gracias de antemano. o si me pudieras auxiliar como la puedo obtener. me encanto como la tocas gracias
