At the school fest where I teach Physics & Chemistry I sang 4 + 20 from the big Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young.
Nervous like hell if I could remember the lyrics even if this song is only 2 minutes long. I can tell you that teaching physics is way more easy then performing before a live audience, hundred tickets were sold I was told.
Any way on guitar my colleague Jasper Schalks music teacher and co-organizer of this fest. I think he played it outstanding.
Also enjoy the video my wife took.

I do have an electric bass and guitar, i do have an acoustic guitar. I even have a keyboard and a Roland drum set What I seem to miss is skills. So to cure my at least 40y frustration I dicovered my instrument being my voice. So I finaly had the nerve to take singing lessons and make my voice heared thanks to Songcrafters.

Bravo Corné!...and congratulations also to your colleague Jasper (who should join us on SC  ;)
I don't know half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.

I like the video
Life is not about the number of Breathes you take, it is the amount of times your breathe is taken away

Great performance Corné ! Takes some nerve to sing in front of an audience. I only do a bit of backing vocals as I can never remember the lyrics for a full song. Well done !

Nice to see and hear you, Corné. Well played, Jasper. Well sung. Well recorded even.

How I'd love to visit Amsterdam again. I've been there twice. I walked everywhere. Somehow managed not to ride a bike either time, but it had a profound effect on me.

awesome Corne' and I really like Jaspers playing... he is very good and I can tell watching musicians that are real pro because they have such a great sense of timing and never rush anything...
perfect tempo and really made it a great bed for your singing.. nicely done.. I had forgotten that song.. thanks

also I enjoyed the impromptu comedy that came about in the repoire of the audience and the guitarist as he was preparing to play...
a very warm performance... good vibes everywhere.

lovely video! i don't know the original but you guys perform this so well. i would not have the nerves to stand there and sing in front a 100 people like that so well done. also you have a fine voice!

Ray Brookes

Very nice cover and the vid is great. Well done. I'm trying to imagine one of my teachers from my old school getting up and performing like that back in the 1960's. Would never happen. All of them were too grumpy and strait-laced.

Ahh, I am so moved by you getting up on stage and doing this. You did it great. I have never performed guitar or sang for anybody live so am slightly jealous. But this is great.
