Default I'll Feel a Whole Lot Better - (Byrds) cover posted

Hi, I posted my latest cover song video to my YouTube channel. There are now 67 songs posted on my 'Old Faithful Covers' channel.

The song is a multi-track cover on which I played and sang all of the instrumental and vocal parts. I tried to sound as close to the original recording as possible.

If you enjoy the video, please send a link to someone else who might like it.

Thanks. beatbyrd

Extremely well done! I play that song too, but just me and my lonely acoustic...

Good job! A faithful reading of one of Gene Clark's classic tunes... I often think that Gene is vastly overlooked as a songwriter and vocalist... the Byrds weren't just Crosby and McGuinn, after all...

Wow! I have either cracked the code or there's a lot of leftover festive goodwill still around. This has been the cover (of mine) that has received the quickest and most positive reaction from this forum. I am grateful to all for the positive comments. I agree fully about Gene Clark. I have a cover of Gene's "Set You Free This Time" that I might move up the schedule a few spots. Thanks again to all who checked out the video.

Nice job! One of my favorite Byrd songs. I've done this one myself.

It's the hat until the hair all grows back (hopefully). I used to be told that I looked a bit like Paul McCartney. Now, they say Uncle Fester. Where's my light bulb? Chemo sucks.....

You'll see hat, hair, hat, hair, etc... for a few more videos.
