I just discovered you today and instantly subscribed. God, I wish I could sing like that - and play all those instruments so well - just like Todd Rundgren did! I binge-watched about a dozen of your videos today. All of them were without equal. Thanks for sharing them with us.
Happy Easter, Russ! What a song! What a band! What feeling ya'll played with! I know this song touched each one of you the first time you heard it! Me too! God bless! 🙏💯👍 Kurt
you guys are the ultimate in music I just don't have any words to describe how good your the only thing I can give you is my sincere friendship that to me is more important than gold or silver. your great friend, Charlie Rogers. I SUBSCRIBE TO YOUR GREAT CHANNEL.
Oh... so you DO have a band! A good talented band of old dudes... like you and I! OK. Come on out to Vegas and pick a venue. I'll come to see you. Maybe I'll audition.. I play darn near every song I see you play. And , sadly, am old enough to know and remember them all! Yikes: 2:50 another key change even higher. Todd Rundgren would be impressed, I'm sure!
Do these cats have any clue as to how much talent is here? Unreal !
Terrific cover of one of my favorite songs. 1972 was an ass kicker for music. I was 21 at that time.
What a fantastic group of excellent musicians! Love the voice of the lead singer! Superb voice! Powerful voice! 👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
Thanks so much!
I saw Todd live and he wouldn't play this tune, his best one... thanks for making up his shorting me.
Very solid band mates
Really? I wonder why he wouldn't play it? Anyway, many thanks...I always appreciate it!
Excellent version of a Todd classic!
Thank you so much!
Great job Russ! One of my fave Rundgren tunes.
Thanks for listening, Fred....I appreciate it very much!

Thanks much...I appreciate it!
Hurray for the Boomer Generation who still play and sing great music!

By mistake you twice sang "I take for granten" instead of "granted," but you are musically beautiful.❣️
Thanks, but I think you're hearing me wrong. I certainly know it's "granted". Thanks so much for listening.
