A beautiful song by "Shocking Blue", the famous Dutch band in the 60s, in my arrangement which, in this case, uses techniques of acoustic guitar rather than of classical guitar. http://www.chitarrarte.it

Most excellent! I've always loved that song and your recording is a nice fresh take on it.
He's got it, yeah baby he's got it!
Very nice indeed!
Any chance of you completing the mandolin score for Silent Night on your web site?
very musical and recognizable!
I remember the song well. When I was young I thought it a bit kitsch / pop for rock. But loved the vocalist.
I am always impressed with your videos.
Always complete songs and nicely arranged.
I can also hear this half tempo with a deep, sexy funk jazz groove...
She was around for a long time.Quote:

There was a great guitar riff in the middle of that song-- I'd love to see you incorporate that.
Thanks to you dear friend, greetings from Sicily! :)
That riff is supported by the whole band ... this is just a version for solo guitar ... Ciao! :)Quote:

Thank you so much friend! Ciao!! :)

I think if Keith Richards was allowed to grow old and get away with it, everybody is entitled to. I also think she looked quite good in 2002, seeing that she passed away only four years later.Quote:

The sound is a bit better on the first one, more of a video presentation on the second.
I don't disagree, but far more know Keith, and can put desiccated Keith into historical perspective, not unlike the odd architecture of the pyramids.Quote:

Bravo! I always enjoy your musical offerings and this fun pop tune was nicely performed--as always!
Keep it coming, Giuseppe! :grin:
Thanks dear Bill!! A warm greeting from Sicily! :)Quote:

And all these years later ... Shocking Blue's Mariska Veres came up in conversation on facebook today. Since I knew this thread right here was the quickest and easiest place to find videos of their mandolin-content songs, I came by. Then somehow in the ensuing fb conversation and researching, I found another song of theirs featuring mandolin. :cool: Indeed, in the live footage (not live audio), the player switches between mandolin and sax. :disbelief: Perhaps someone can identify the make of the mandolin. :mandosmiley:
