Good evening and thank you for this wonderful moment that you share with us. I am under the spell of this time spent when I was playing such music. At the time, I was at the piano and I was accompanied. I sang with passion but the time has passed and time has changed. I am no longer in the same place and life has changed a lot since then. But I keep our fond memories of this period which was fabulous. The days follow each other but are not alike. would like to congratulate you and compliment you because it is simply magnificent what you offer us as a gift. With my greatest generosity of heart, I send you a giant like is admirable. Yours, with respect. All my friendship. Aimé

Hello Mr. Philip, how are you friend? I am always happy when I see a music video of yours, your good music always brightens the mood when we are down, always inspires to keep going playing music, both in life too, "The Great Pretender" from "The Platters", is a very new song for me, and I always enjoy discovering new music, your instrumental versions great cover my friend, reminds me of my version of a song in Spanish that I did a year ago called "Amor de Estudiante", great sound, greetings from Mexico Angel.😊😊😊🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸

[@random275]

Thanks as always Angel for your support and great comments! They are always appreciated and I'm glad you like this one without knowing the original or Freddy Mercury's version. I have something exciting to tell you - Tomorrow evening I am going with my 3 sons to Birmingham Town hall (About 50 miles from where I live) to a concert of Tommy Emmanuel - The best acoustic guitarist in the world !! I have 4 front row tickets so we will get a very good view. If you don't know Tommy here is one of his videos.. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iWSWpYqQpr2bpM0 All the best Phil

Good Afternoon Phil, "The Great Pretender" is a new one to me and probably from the Rock n Roll era. It is a lovely lilting tune and the tone of the Stratocaster exceptional and goes well with the BGM. A gem 💎 of a rendition. When over with the comments pl. check the song in the morning's post I am sure you will like the tune. The song is picturised in a Sydney pub on the beach. Be happy and smiling as always. See you later, bye!!!

[@rohithpadikkal7082]

This song was quite big in the late 80s when Freddie Mercury did a cover version. I loved that version and to be honest, I didnt know it was a cover version of a song that's from the 50s
