Hello, TruthSurge. I just discovered you yesterday (9-8-2019) and am blown away. I am a 58-year-old retired musician who can no longer sing or play due to complications from chemotherapy. It really does my heart good to see you--a man of my generation--who can still make the magic happen. Thank you for making me feel better about so many things. I feel sorry for those young people who cannot recognize the valuable knowledge and experience that we older guys have accumulated over the years. Now that I can no longer play, I have felt like I can no longer do my part to prove the value of us older folks to those who tend to write us off. You speak loudly for all of us. What a precious gem you are to the world. Thank you for doing what you do. ...and one last thing: You are truly an awesome player and singer for anyone of any age!

I’m 36 but I grew up listening to a lot of unorthodox music for my generation, patsy cline , fats domino , BB King , Hendrix , Boston , Kansas to Stevie Ray Vaughn . Mother was 46 when she had me and my father was 36 , everyone has the gift and it’s good to see this man showing what the lack of todays modern music lacks . So this 80’s hair and I just learned of called Blue Murders -song is Valley of the Kings . I wish the best to everyone and keep up the music

Very well said Chris. I'm turning 38 this year and had over five years of chemotherapy in the early 90s. They no longer use the chemo drugs that were used on me because they were far too toxic. I have a fair share or problems from all those years ago so I know where you are coming from! But just remember, if you miss doing something, the only thing that can stop you from trying to what you want, is you. Best of luck to you my friend. I hope you will try to pick up your instruments again. I would give anything to have the talent of wielding a guitar!!! Blessings to you.

@@ManicMechanic82 Thank you for the words of encouragement. Man, am I sorry you had to go through chemotherapy too. The chemo almost killed me. The cancer is not nearly as bad as the chemo, but you already know that. You are exactly right about not giving up. I do still pick up my guitar every day or two. I can still crank out a few chords, but I'm just a fraction of what I used to be. That's a painful realization every time I try to play, but I try to be thankful that I am a has been rather than a never was. It still hurts, though. I hope the aftermath from your chemo is not too bad. If you are not a player yet, it's never too late to start as long a you still have the ability to control your hands. In regard to that, I hope you are better off than I am. If so, go for it, my friend. It is one of the greatest gifts this life has to offer.

You've helped me get more of a feel and understanding of the song, and your mistakes, you're the only one who knows they are there. I think they just add your flavor to the song. Thank you.

excellent tone!!! perfect actually!!!! and im a freak for Boston .....holy hell that was crazy good!!!

I was born in 68 and in the mid 70's I was just a kid riding up and down my sidewalk on my Big Wheel, but as I got older and started to listen to the music from the late 60's and into the 70's, the culture, basically when my parents were young adults and caught up in this era, I just started to fall in love with all of it. This song in particular has ALWAYS been a 70's anthem for me. Powerful, emotional and just fun. You fucking killed it man. I've listened to this song a hundred times if not more. I could absolutely not tell any difference between your cover and my in-depth memory of this song.

Man just when I thought I've seen some wicked players then you come along!! Pure awesomeness !!! 5 stars

Man, you didn't butcher anything. You saved my life!

Finally someone who plays it like it is!!! Refreshing 🔥🔥🔥

If i were you, Id be trying my hardest to audition for one of these old school bands because alot of them split up and its very hard for them to find people who can actually play theyre music the way its intended to be played. you my sir have that gift. ive played guitar for 27yrs and only dream of playing this good.

TS you've gotta be rock royalty. I think you have a secret identity.

Dude, your videos amaze me. Your the dude at a party that just comes out of nowhere and gets everyone psyched. Your licks are freaking 🔥

Even his playing of simple power chords is so tight and mesmerising. That's talent

Awesome! Sounds like Saturday night around a cold keg with my buds in High School...............in 1976! So many good memories associated with this song.

Not only is he a great player, but if you watch his face when he is playing, it is very obvious that he is having an absolute blast. So many guitar players on KZread post videos where you can tell that they practiced and practiced the cover that they are doing...and is very robotic. But with this dude, he is smiling, his playing has feel and you can tell that he is just rocking out with tunes that he is familiar with. The dude is a killer. I love seeing guys smile when they play...the smile can be felt in their playing...If you know what I mean.
