Great to see a new video my friend. Your enthusiasm for music is contagious. Love to hear the background stories. Harmonica has a killer sound with that mic……and…..any song can use some cool harmonica to answer the question….💪🏻💪🏻 And I will check out that tired drummers channel.

[@dwstoeckel4740]

All those great live vids you’ve been posting, made me wanna make a video too!! Always appreciate your watching and commenting!

How did I miss this!?!?! Glad I checked my sub history today to make sure I was up to date on everything. Nice song choice. Been a while since I heard this one

It’s never an average day, when I get to hear one of your new videos 😊 I just woke up to visit the washroom for a pit stop 🛑 at 2:00 🕑 in the morning. What a wonderful surprise to see you posting a new song 🎵 and you put the biggest smile 😊 on my face with that tribute for me. Enjoy the T-shirt buddy, I’m so glad it didn’t get lost in the mail. I loved that song and your raw and honest attitude towards performing it. Love your music, great voice and it’s coming from a terrific person 🤗👍🇨🇦 Now it’s time to try and learn this song 🎵 😊🥁

[@dwstoeckel4740]

Hey Ken! I’m glad you got a smile out of it! I look forward to hearing your drum cover of this one!

[@The-Tired-Drummer]

@@dwstoeckel4740 thanks 🙏 I appreciate that, I showed it to Cindy this morning, we both got a smile. I just have to force myself out of the lazy boy, I had lunch a little while ago and will need a little catnap, hopefully I will do this song you posted. Today and will be up late today in my time zone.

Nothing average about you, or your music, D-Dub. I dig what you do, Brother! And I love your enthusiasm, and your presentation. This is a really cool vibe. Not sure if that is an Epiphone Casino... but it's a beauty! And you've got that baby dialed in! Purring like a kitten. You've also got a really interesting voice. Keep on doin' your thing, and rock on!

[@dwstoeckel4740]

Thanks Jimmy! Always glad when viewers “get it” , my channel has never been about “performance” or “instruction”. It’s just about hanging out w some people that love music, at whatever level… and to answer your question, yes it’s a Korean made Epi casino… strung up w 8s, played into a 5w Bugera amp, into a 1x12 greenback cab… behringer analog delay , bluesdriver for a bit of overdrive and a DS1 for some grit.. I’ve spent a year trying to figure it out( lotsa tweaking of the knobs, including the ones on the guitar) but I’m pretty happy w it, and it didn’t cost an arm and a leg.. !!

This is terrific, DW. I wish I could play harmonica like you!! I totally agree with your statements about the fate of so many aspiring musicians, and I too, have fallen into that hole. Fortunately, I am retired now and can play every day, and that makes a big difference, not only musically but also in my state of mind. It's great to see you making videos again. I can tell you love the music and I really enjoy watching you, my friend 👏👏🎸🎸💖💖

@@garyschafer-thepickinpilot9010 thanks gary! And yes, I know your backstory.. you’re one of the people that inspires me to stay in the game, now that you’re going full steam ahead w music. ! Makes me feel great when guys like you take the time to watch me having some fun ,while trying to become a “ real” musician.....I got a ways to go but the journey has been so rewarding! Aaron Lehmann said I gotta go “live in ‘25 “ so I’ve made that a goal. Whether that’s a live backyard party , or busking, or a KZbin live stream.... I don’t know , but the idea sounds fun! 😁😁 Thanks again!

[@garyschafer-thepickinpilot9010]

I think Aaron might be right. Sometimes we have to push ourselves to do something that might be uncomfortable at first, but rewarding later. So dive in and test the water. I'll be there for moral support 👍👍😄😄

[@dwstoeckel4740]

@garyschafer-thepickinpilot9010 yeah, “live in ‘25 “ has become my mantra.. 😂

@@dwstoeckel4740 absolutely. It heals. I know from experience.

[@GUITARSGIZMOS]

How cool is this. I remember having this song on our repertoire in a band I was in, in the 90s. It such a great song, just grooving around that Cm chord progression, and I believe the bass guitar keeps holding that C note all the way through the song. It's quite impressive to get a hit song based on that. I dig the laid back version you do and also how you managed to capture the gist of it. And again, you have a really great voice for these kind of tunes. Fab! We want more! Cheers 🙂
