"Turn To Stone" - ELO [ONE MAN BAND COVER] by DeForest

[@DeForest]

Y'alllllll, thank you so much for all your comments and kind words! I'm blown away by your support even after 6 years!! I've been sort of a ghost here on KZbin cause music and life have been really crazy. So I definitely owe y'all some more videos. I'm thinking maybe some Styx or Bon Jovi?!?!

[@Cypher_Offline]

Ooooo, Don't Stop Believing please!

[@nightisright1873]

We just want more covers of great E.L.O songs Like Poker

[@GooGooGooTube]

Yes please! More ELO! You are awesome! Beautiful job!

[@imwiththehighcommand9493]

Styx!!!!

[@JeffLynnesELO2025Tour]

Love the younger generation singing and playing ELO which is such a fantastic band In Rock History. Excellent young man!

[@derpysnakemusic3676]

I remember seeing you on that 2014 performance of 10538 overture commenting for years. How are you? You seem pretty chill.

[@MrJoeybabe25]

You are VERY talented! May you find great success, You deserve it!

[@DeForest]

Joe Postove Thank you Joe!

[@washablecrown]

Just like if Panic At The Disco had covered ELO. Pretty awesome man, congrats :)

[@gwojones]

Wow that cover blew me away. I just searched for a cover of Turn to Stone randomly not knowing what to expect, and you hit it out of the park! Well done.

[@DeForest]

Griffith Jones Thank you! Being randomly found is the best, this made my day.

[@cenbae7812]

Yeah I always look at covers when i'm super into a song and its always a hit or miss this time though was a hit this shit is a banger lol

[@insaneduderone8501]

My first time running across any of you videos and I say kudos fellow brother musician! YIm glad to see and hear how talented of a all around musician u are. You are 2 up on me because you can play the piano and can sing great. He only two things I really suck at. Haha. That gave me the extra musicians respect to like and subscribe this first video I've seen of yours and I didn't have to wait till the end to decide to punch subscribe. I hope all the music success for you my friend.. I just had a stroke for the first time in my life last week and sadly my whole left arm and hand is almost dead to movement. Yes my guitar and bass fretting hand. It damn socks sitting in this rehab facility thinking I'll never be able to enjoy playing and writing music/songs ever again. But I'll live whatever happens. OK great job and good luck bro.

[@SurfviewTV]

That was amazing! I really enjoyed hearing this especially because you made it happen. Hard for me to put into words, except to say you are very talented and please don’t ever give up your talent. I’m 70 years old and in the fall of my life. The piano has always been apart of me and music is always capturing me where ever I go. Please continue to allow yourself to grow in music and you will learn to appreciate more than you can imagine. Play on my friend!
