        After hearing Bruce’s excellent cover of ‘Have You Ever Seen The Rain’. I was inspired to do another CCR favorite.

                James, I’m waiting for the album. When do you release it? Great version of this song, I vote keep the CCR classics coming. Cool also to see the Garage Band DAW in action and your layout of iMovie with your video in the top left hand corner. All the best!

                      Born under the star of the gift of music.

                      The melody of the notes is what expresses the art of music . 🙂 6stringerPete

                      It really is all about ”melody”. The melody comes from a language from our heart. Our heart is the muscle in music harmony. The melody is the sweetness that it pumps into our musical thoughts on the fretboard. 🙂 6 stringer Pete

                              Enjoyed this, James. Takes me back as a young teenager when this was released and I added it to my 45 collection. Nice arrangement and transposition, pretty sure the original was in E.

                                  I didn’t know this song (I know I must be one of the very few) but now that I’ve listened to it I can say it’s a great song and you did a fantastic cover, both vocals and guitar are top-notch!

                                                Absolutely KILLED IT James. I love your arrangement, and your voice is always perfect. You’ve got amazing pitch, and I love those grace notes and ghost notes that you add to the end of your vocal phrases. You’re definitely a very gifted musician. You have a way of making everything you do sound fresh and new, and it always sounds like James B.
