This was a blast to play, especially since I got to (yet again) play Toni’s 12-string Martin. The joys of being the rhythm player. :) And Toni takes a lead vocal verse!

Your covers are always a treat. I like that Toni sings more often.

[@WilliamTomaselli1]

Yes

[@purplecowideal]

@@WilliamTomaselli1 yea.

[@unndunn1]

Definitely nice to hear more Toni, she’s got a really nice voice.

[@jltsoyowdycjltsoyowdyc1076]

Me too, but man Toni really pulls the feel out of that guitar. I love these two, I will go to see them when the world turns back normal. Preferably at like a summer music fest.

[@karav8133]

@@edwinov maybe listen to a variety of their covers and originals...Reina has a fabulous voice and delivery. Both are so talented and a real joy to listen to. Try a few more!

[@dodgermartin4895]

Toni is a bonafide flatpicker, she's "Bluegrass Good," which is the highest compliment I can give to any guitar player.

[@mikehillier6441]

I lost my sister, Amy, a few years ago and hearing this song was just what I needed this morning. Thank you.

[@tjtaggart6494]

Truly sorry for your loss. It's a beautiful song and these ladies perform it to perfection. I'm sure they're pleased that their rendition has been of comfort to you when you were in need. I pray that this time of healing will be a comforting time. Blessings to you and yours.

[@MultiBaldEagle]

I think I'm in love. Their harmonies are beautiful and the sound of the 6 string and 12 string together...MAN.....awesomeness perfected. Oh yea...and Toni's high harmonies.

[@Roadhardd]

Toni’s harmony hits you like sipping a heated snifter of Grand Marnier in the flickering shadows of the fire; warm, sweet, and comforting.

[@lilbrav6335]

🤣

[@guermeisterdoodlebug7980]

On point and nicely expressive. I like it.

[@charlie-obrien]

Grand Marnier!? You must be a child of the seventies! Lol

[@matthewspencer5086]

There was a time when I was so keen on Grand Marnier that I filled a hip-flask with it. This was very bad for the lining of the hip-flask, which was designed for undiluted Jura Malt. But that's a perfect description of Toni's singing and I think she will be very flattered by it.

[@ianmorrison2003]

Was that sentence a one-off, or are you an actual writer? Beautifully conjured in my humble opinion.

[@jonthebru]

You two never disappoint.

[@roberttroesch-edamsaskcana3652]

If your looking for heavenly voices and guitars you’ve come to the right place!!! The world really needs to show these beautiful and talented young ladies some love!!! Thank you Reina and Toni!!!

[@bradking2053]

Wonderful performance. I was a part of the PPL birth in 1973. This is the reason we love music. Craig Fuller and the guys nailed it and so did you!

[@marcbloch1989]

I’m not sure if I ever thanked you two for the free weekly concerts you were doing during the early part of the pandemic but I will thank you now…you continue to help keep us sane!

[@johague9981]

Yeyy...Very much seconded!!

[@rono4723]

A minute in, I was eyes closed, singing my heart out along with ya'll. My gratitude & respect. You brought happy tears to this old man's eyes. My new favorite version.

[@dad5825]

A fire in the hearth, snow on the ground, a cozy couch or bear skin rug, a warm drink and y'all singing Amie. A slice of heaven. For now, I love your rendition and the ease with which you present it. What a great performance.

[@0guiteo]

These women are skilled musicians. I love the song, and love how they have covered it.

[@JohnKoellischSongwriter1]

I’m an old guy, so I love that you cover a lot of tunes from my younger years. I actually used to perform this tune in clubs in Southern California back in the 1970’s. Your original tunes are also amazing and very refreshing with some of the same qualities & done extremely well! Wishing you all well and many years of happy, creative music endeavors!

[@milktop1]

Toni’s smile always makes me smile. Great cover as always

[@danb135]

Agreed! The more expressive Toni is, the more I enjoy the video! Toni Lundgren 4 life!!!

[@MikeeStringfellow]

You two are perfect examples of the universe placing two people together whose innate spirit and talent give us this beautiful music. But as an old musician, what may not be apparent to some is the countless hours and endless dedication you've put in to hone your craft. So good. Can't wait for what's next.

[@schienenlaufer697]

Well spoken, Sir! As a musician having played for over 60 years I agree to each and every word you have spoken. I detected these gifted young ladies only some months ago for myself and since then I listen to all their videos, being more and more enthusiastic about the perfect craftsmanship combined with a simplicity that needs no big show, but comes from a big heart. Greetings from Hamburg Germany

[@JRD77VET]

Thank you Reina , Thank you Toni. You both do fantastic both with the harmonies and the leads. You both should really do more of that, it sounded GREAT.

This channel is a magical cleanser for all the heinous stuff in life we’re all bombarded with daily. Just a joyful purity in your performances that is truly calming. Thanks!

[@guermeisterdoodlebug7980]

I can’t explain why I was surprised you chose that song but I’m glad you did. For me it’s one of those timeless songs, not trendy, never goes out of style. By the way, nice guitar work by both.

[@RobertSchilf]

Yeah! Amazing vocals and great guitar playing - includes a 12-string!

Toni played the solo note for note... Bravo!!! You gotta do that on iconic songs like this and she always does..... Good stuff....

[@MindlessZombie2006]

Lovely harmonies, and the 12-string rings like a bell. Beautiful!

[@paddymurph]

I knew there would be a comment about the 12 string without scrolling too far!!!! :)

[@Rocketsong]

Those Martin X-series 12-strings don't get the respect they deserve. They are shockingly good for the price.

One of my all time favorite songs. We were listening to PPL on our way home from dinner tonight and singing along.

What a great cover! I love the arrangement, the interplay between the vocal parts. Toni's single picking, well, I could listen to her all afternoon. Thank you for sharing with us!

[@mayflowerlash11]

I'm listening to this as part of Elise Trouw's mix. Two acoustic guitars, harmonies and magic happens. I'm sure you two don't know how great you are. You are laying down a body of music that will one day be considered classic. Reina singing the low notes, Toni's fingertips dancing across the strings. Pure magic.

[@orsie200]

Nice job! My husband said to me while we listened: “I played that song about a million times.” He’s a musician, now semi-retired after many years, about 15,000 hours on stage in the Twin Cities mostly, being trained (classic) in piano since age 5 and violin since age 9. He plays 5 instruments. We have our own music studio here in Iowa (Euphonic Studio, LLC) which we closed to the public due to pandemic. He has taught music since 1968. All this is to say we’re both music lovers, and we appreciate you so very much. We had fun singing along with you on this one. ~ Lori Parrish Niemi ~

[@markzieg3593]

Cool back story! Thanks for sharing.

Giant smile on my face for this one - WOW! LOVED IT! Thank you!

Thanks for this. I remember seeing PPL at Triton College back in 1976. I now realize that those were relatively carefree days for me. Ahh, the rose colored glasses of nostalgia....

[@RickCarter1776]

Loved the rendition. As I always say no 70's pop or rock song was complete without an obligatory guitar solo and Toni did is right!!! Simply loved it. You girls ROCK!!!!

The solo is one of the best known in country rock music. Toni does a stellar job. I wonder if Toni would be willing to do a tutorial on that solo.It certainly would garner tons of views. Great job as always, guys. Anything less from you would surprise the snot out of me.

[@michaelberes93]

Palace theater Waterbury, CT my first concert, 1970 something. Headliners included Marshall Tucker, pure prairie league and Johnathan Edwards. Up first was PPL where they entered on a stagecoach; thank you Hells Angels guys for great seats, give a guy a beer and joint and you were loved temporarily l guess; in doses at young fun age Tucker band, Great hillbilly band Johnathan Edwards where he taught me to lay around the shanty and put a good buzz on. Still at it my sixties

[@UAL320]

Toni always has a George Harrison-style sweetness in her solos 👍🏻

[@PenneyThoughts]

Dammit ladies, my new neighbors hate me now. I was singing along like nobody could hear me, oops, lol! Loved it! Thanks!

[@lamars2486]

I used to go into Amie's honky tonk in nashville early 1970s ... and would drop all my quarters into the juke box and play this song over and over and over ... it was the guitars that got me hooked then the harmonies. Amy told me one time, "if you play that damn song one more time, I'm throwing this beer mug at you." I just dropped more quarters. It got the song on all the old time nashville honky tonk's jukeboxes. (naww, that part is my imagination 😊). GREAT COVER, GREAT PICKING AND HARMONY.

Ladies, I've been listening to Amie for nearly 50 years. I still have my vinyl of Bustin' Out. I HAVE TO SAY: that Craig Lee Fuller would be very, very proud of your rendition. Reina: your vocals, especially on the outro, which is a coda of Fallin' In and Out of Love With You was quite impressive. It's such a tough vocal. And Toni, some pretty sweet picking on your guitar. FYI, the complete title of the song is just "Amie." NBD. Just shows that you two are human.
