@@mfournier01 I have been to 26 plus concerts, once three nights in a row, drove 400 miles to get there, three days ending on new years eve concert. Met him four times, once on a rainy day on Sunset Blvd, with my hawkeyes, as he was getting out of his car, going to Sam Ash to buy a harmonica. I literally reversed the car on Sunset blvd in the rain to park backwards on the side street to not miss him Ran inside and literally said "Huey, what are you doing here?" he was so surprised my eyes caught him in that one fleeting moment, in middle of a rainy day. I had just finished lunch in the car from Rock'n'Rolla Ralphs and had I been five seconds sooner or later in the universe, I'd missed him. I have his music playing over and over again, but this one is just endless. It's the same reason that I can't get enough of Heart of Glass. For years, they both just resonate with my frequency. It turns out, and I knew this, that Mike Chapman produced both singles, and there is a Mike Chapman's fingerprints and dna in both of these songs. I am no musician, but if there was an analysis of these two songs, side by side, I am sure they have the same harmonic signature/dna. No other two songs sound and resonate the same to me, and H&S is just an endless resonant music, that is insatiable to my person. I think if there were a bunch of white musicians playing the black blues rock music, it'd be HLN, to my untrained ears.

All these years later, this still rocks. Listened to this like 5 times today already lol! I appreciate it, and you absolutely smashed this one.

Years late to this party but I have to add that this is just solid musicianship and good taste. Just playing it basically just how it's written. Probably one of if not THE strongest Huey Lewis tunes, just a great mid-tempo early 80s rocker well-executed.

Never too late to loin the YT party Z! I do love the Huey Lewis of the 80’s and this song is just so fun to play along with while trying to keep the percussion going too! Thanks for coming along for the ride. Happy New Year to you!

This percussion is absolutely phenomenal, you just don't appreciate how much is going on until you see this. Huey Lewis and the news would be proud of this. Thank you for sharing this and your talent. 😊😊😊😊

Mike -- Oh my god! What you have done here is stunning. I know you have to feed your family, but it's a shame that you aren't showcasing your talent on stage. Frequently. I see that this posting is around four years old as I type this. You are probably full-time by now.

Yeah I always grew up trying to play all the drum and percussion parts of my favorite music. This one was a bit of a challenge but fun at the same time. I have played in a few cover bands but no time for it anymore so I just play and record in my studio! Thanks for the killer comments

lol the joys or modern technology...dude thats great nice job....sounded right on the money

Excellent - crisp - on the money all the way - well done :-)

This sound would be rather dull without the fills. So much swing and extra voice to it. You nailed it too. Great job.

Jenna Carr I'm quite sure they were all acoustic as Bill Gibson didn't play electronics that I know of. Not to mention the technology was far worse in the 80's

Well done! Have you dubbed out the drums/percussion from the original to hear your version? The top drum on your right in this cover from your set is a rat-tat right?...hearing it sounds so cool! When listening to this song (which by the way is my favourite HL song) I envisioned a cow bell per say in the mix to give that distinct sound but I don't see one on your set. I'm old school I guess LOL. The sound created by these E sets is mind blowing! Great skills Mike! Keep it up!

Third rack tom has a salsa cowbell on the rim, and pad to my left has a hand clap in the middle and a deeper cowbell on the edge. Challenging to put it all together but fun to play at the same time!

Love to see you do a cover of Whole Lotta Love'n and the long Small World, both the first and second part, Old Antone's and Bobo Tempo, all from Small World album. I thing Gibson is such a renaissance drummer, who is so under the radar and yet he can keep up and be on par with any legend in the drumming world, dead or alive. I could be wrong, not being a drummer.

Trick!
