Default 70s cover - Rocket Man Elton John

...and I think it's gonna be a long, long time.

Covering Elton John is a high-wire act. Yours was breathtaking. Super vocal.

Wonderful job. Vocal is a tough one, and you nailed it. Your guitar sounds like a piano, great arrangement! I don’t think the foot percussion adds much here, the performance is great without it

Nice job on this tune. It’s a tricky one to sing.

You crushed this one Gerhard. Playing and vocals are great. Not an easy song to sing. You need a big range as you demonstrated.

Thank you guys, for the nice motivating comments.
I never dared to sing this outside my four walls, but I guess I'll give it a try.
