Larry is right on time. His guitar work is amazing most of all he can actually sing. I discovered them today and I’ve already listen to them a half a dozen times and it’s tutorial.
Hey Larry, I came across this a few days ago and ended up spending most the whole weekend going through your songs...and I've barely scratched the surface!!! You've got over 1000 songs here in 6 years; basically a new production every 2 days!!! It's incredible, as is your talent. Thanks for all your hard work and for sharing. Absolutely terrific!
Honestly Larry, You made this song even more moving and beautiful than the original. You bring out a vulnerability and emotion from these lyrics and your playing and voice shine like a light in the dark. Absolutely Awesome! 10/10
Larry....You know what?..It dosen't matter what time of the day or night it is or what kind of mood i am in, when i come to your channel for your music, the same thing always happens..Your music has an effect on people, whatever that effect may be....It dosen't matter whether you make us smile or cry or take us to a memory we forgot, you and your music are something special...I sit here listening to this, smiling, and knowing that your music is enriching beyond words...GOD bless you...ione marie
Larry - The whole is song is GREAT. BUT, when you modulate up a half step to Bb the song just TAKES OFF. I get chills every time I hear it. In the verses, I love the way you change the voicing of the chords when you change keys. First two verses, when you go from 1M9 to 2m7 , the voicing moves the notes down a whole step, (and keeps the open A in the bass). Then verse 3 still repeating the 1M - 2m but with a voicing that moves the notes up a whole step, instead of down. Ingenious and absolutely beautiful and breathtaking !
Larry~With your music, you sweetly persuade people to come here and stay for good~There isn't a warmer sound that any set of ears can experience~You are amazing in every way~~ione marie~Nobody will ever find another cover of this song as powerful and rich as this
This song always reminds me of riding to Gilgo beach to hang out with my cousin and her friends when I would visit from Brooklyn. Those were the years. Larry I am now officially a big huge fan!
When I listen to you tube song covers i can't help but to read the comments. There is always someone in the crowd who got something negative to say about ones performance. Well i gotta say i could not find any. Larry you are one of those people whom are blessed with an amazing talent. PS your Nick Gilders/Hot child in the city cover was truly Amazing!!!!!!!!! Thank You Larry, A true Fan Mr Montoya.
Excellent. You should be the opening act to 1 of the great bands from the 60s and 70s or the bands of today. I didnt think you could equal "Some Day" but you did with this song.
Your interpretations really capture the essence of that great era. I'm not sure what impresses me the most: your voice, your musicianship, or your guitar collection. I'm envious of all three. Thank you.
First found this in 2010, I was a sophomore in HS. Could not forget that awesome guitar and perfect melody Larry. This is truly one I will never forget!
Being born in the mid 50's I had the honor and privilege To witness some of the greatest music ever. There was something about the chord progressions and tunings that just played out Some incredible melodies. Very grateful to you for sharing!
What a performance! You did this song proud. You did a Tommy James cover when we were first getting to know each other. You picked another great song and still have the ability to blow me away. If it were Thanksgiving, I'd still want to forget my purse at home. I guess that will be forever. :)
Love the song; great cover Larry. 1969 what a year...graduated high school, then Uncle Sam called me up to help him out of a jam he had gotten in to...SO, I married my high school sweetheart before I left. She has passed before me and so has our beautiful son. I am old now and these songs make the memories come flooding back. Thank you for sharing.
I can't even wait for this song to end and I'm replying to it... This is most excellently done. Oh, the birds even liked it there at the end. They tried to join in. All I could say is... Wow! and that about covers it.
I would have never discovered this song were it no for Breaking Bad. I was born in 80's so this was a little before my time, but glad I found it. Awesome song! Good job.
When, dear Larry are you going to make your own CD?? LOVE going to sleep every night listening to you...calms, me, brings me peace, helping me recoop from recent NDE..thank you friend..love you...

Larry...This is such a warm, soothing, and soft piece....Your voice just flows from you...It is the best sound....There are other people that have ok voices and can sing and play the guitar.....You, NEVER, just do that....What i hear and see in front of me is something that anybody who wants can try to do....But , i'm sorry to tell them, NOBODY can recreate and do music the way you do.....It is PRICELESS, and can only be done by you....ione marie
Larry - I somehow stumbled across your cover songs here. You are a great musician! You brought a tear to my eye with your John Lennon tribute. I remember the day he left us like it was yesterday. I just lost my 24 year old daughter a couple weeks ago and listening to your covers is bringing a sense of peace to my soul. Thank you
Great job! I'm 28 years old but as many tell me I have an old soul but I definitely have a good ear for music. Tommy James would be proud if he heard this.
Larry...DO you know what I see?~A true artist with almighty love for music~The sounds I hear come from the most pleasing, skilled, genuine and rich voice~A tremendous version, my friend...Ione Marie
Larry~Just as your StreetJelly one was, this one is EXQUISITE!!!!!~You have such a special way of bringing us all in to the sounds of your music and it is such a great thing----There is not a better sound than that of you doing a song~~ione marie
Larry....This is a great song, and even better is to have you give us your version of it...You have the smoothest, finest, most genuine voice...I could listen to you sing this a hell of a lot of times...Oh wait....I already do:).....No matter whether i am here at this rich performance or at any of your songs, your music is always the best part of my days.....ione marie
Larry......That voice of yours is so warm and smooth...........the sound just flows out of you...makes me wish the song didnt end....but wait.........LOVE that replay button:)..
hey larry, everything you do is really great , thanks of being so talented with the guitar , its a pleasure to listen!!! brings me back in time. you rock dude!!
Larry~OMG!!~You are SO damn good in what you do~That rich voice and those fingers on that guitar~I feel VERY sorry for anyone who hasn't found this. They are SO missing out~~ione marie
Larry~This is beautiful~You Love what you do and it is a wonderful thing to hear and see~I Love coming back to your version and experiencing all that your music is~~ione marie
Excellent job. Man.... I wish had grown up in the same town. It would have been a gas playing and harmonizing. Your song selections are spot on with what I like and mostly play. Keep up the good work.
Nice cover of a great song that has been rediscovered because of breaking bad. The only thing this song has in common is the words Crystal and Blue. But the lyrics peace and good brotherhood are what it is really about. Thanks you are a talented man, I enjoyed your performance of this classic tune.
A rendition to rival Tommy's original! I gotta tell ya Podline, this is THE first video I found of your's, probably a year or ago, and I can honestly say I haven't been disappointed in your output since. Thank the holy being that there are talented people like you keeping the classics alive!!!!!! This and your cover of "Chico & the Man" are some of the best acoustic covers I've ever heard. God bless and keep rocking, man!
Rest in peace my good friend ... god bless you
2 years later...still outstanding! Never gets old.
Larry is right on time. His guitar work is amazing most of all he can actually sing. I discovered them today and I’ve already listen to them a half a dozen times and it’s tutorial.

Are all these love & hardwork in.. or Is he in Spotify?
Honestly Larry, You made this song even more moving and beautiful than the original. You bring out a vulnerability and emotion from these lyrics and your playing and voice shine like a light in the dark. Absolutely Awesome! 10/10
come on, good cover but not more beautiful than the original
Very nice. I hope you are playing in public. People really need to hear you live. Thank You for sharing.
I miss you, Larry!❤
THIS GUY IS GREAT. I BET THERE ISN'T ONE PERSON ON THE RADIO TODAY WHO COULD DO THIS AND YET HERES A GUY WHOSE NOT EVEN FAMOUS.
And should be
He has a passion for that tune. play on.
Anyone can copy a song he did a great job not going to lie

The best cover ever made of this song!!!
The BEST damn cover on all of youtube! IMHO

WOW I just thought it was good singing
RIP Larry... I hope to be with you one day even though we never met here on this earth.... I'll be able to tell you how much your music touched me.
Larry~With your music, you sweetly persuade people to come here and stay for good~There isn't a warmer sound that any set of ears can experience~You are amazing in every way~~ione marie~Nobody will ever find another cover of this song as powerful and rich as this
Awesome cover.....great singing....love that song
I just know that this is a wonderful song and no one does it better than you Larry...fantastic
This song always reminds me of riding to Gilgo beach to hang out with my cousin and her friends when I would visit from Brooklyn. Those were the years.

What a great job you do. Love the way you play and sing. Keep up the great work.
So beautiful..Great job Larry..❤️
