Wow that first vocal line was right on point sounded just like Billy Joel 😮

The best part of this is that it feels care free, very relaxed. That's what makes the original so great that I feel a lot of the covers of Billy Joel music miss, they always seem like they're trying way too hard to live up to Billy Joel instead of just letting the music flow out of them

You're bang on Dale. Watched a few covers and they were all so cringey. Really trying too hard. The reason the original is so great is its recorded like he was just jamming on a random, rainy Sunday afternoon!

Keep saying.... You're fantastic

So impressed. Your voice is so clear and you are RIGHT on tune. I love this cover.
