cheers!

Hey @man of simple pleasures  this is cool! Somehow I can't really believe that someone would cover this song... I don't know, really ... When I read Cover of "would my ceilings be recognized?" I was like this 

Nice acoustic cover of a real esoteric creation. You do your thing well! Good show!

Some how I feel as though Amsterdam is the real winner of the 2018 Cover Challenge. All these songs about Amsterdam?!?!    I'll go look at a map now.

- 11

If it weren’t rather chilly, at 968 meter altitude before a small tent, I’d be blushing.
Here in a nature’s reserve area the coverage internet wise isn’t great so I keep it short.

I am really proud for such a talented person to pick up and cover one of my songs.
If it doesn’t win the challenge @man of simple pleasures (it should win actually) it should give you a truck load of extra kudo’s for such a brave entry.
And for being able to get the core of the song.

Fantastic. I am going to listen to it again and again when Gods and The Connection allow to do so.
Lots of luck in/with the challenge!!!
Kind regards, Gus

Yes, I have kept my word. I listened again as promised.
With a better connection it sounds even better. If music works miracles, there’s nothing going to convince me that ones and zeroes don’t act accordingly.

Nice one @man of simple pleasures !
Kind regards, Gus

I'm really glad you covered this song and I love how you did it. I really like the playing....cool percussion.

This is another excellent cover....this challenge is producing some amazing material.

  hi @man of simple pleasures , great version of this song from @LePlongeur

nice man! would also be nice to add a drum and a bass to this

and i agree with @Leonard Scaper ...what a great harvest of covers for our kitchen cover challenge   

 

Didn’t notice it before but, intentionally or typo, would my ceilings makes it even more recklessly than the original.
Highly original @man of simple pleasures !!!
Kind regards, Gus

I like this song a lot. And although your version is pretty bare-bone, you have captured the mood of the original very well. Your guitar playing is excellent!

A small note to keep your faith strong, @man of simple pleasures
There are three story lines in the song, which make it a bit of a puzzle.

1
Comment on the state, the village of Amsterdam is in. I know it’s a city for nearly 800 years, but it had 850.000 inhabitants. And something like 1.400.000 visitors per day.
More hotels? And still more?

2
The people who recorded Amsterdam’s recent history.
Ed van der Elsken with his photos.
Published love on the left bank, late fifties to great acclaim and published regularly in Time/Life since 1960.
Developed street photography as a genre early 60’s.

Now we have an annual documentary festival , but when Johan van der Keuken made the bulk of his beautiful  documentaries it was a genre that almost didn’t exist.

3
The ceilings.
If all of the above items are true, would the part with the ceilings not be?

But in line number 3, there’s another small joke.
I expected the Dutch part of the Kitchen to recognize it and react on it.
But no one did, as far as I know.
Van der Keuken (or van de Keuken, as Johan’s son write the family name) can only be translated as
[size=12pt) From the Kitchen[/size].

There you go friend, you surely picked a wicked (says Borat) one to cover.....
Good luck!
Kind regards, Gus

wll done @man of simple pleasures  - love the natural feeling of your version.

cheers all for listening!!

haha @LePlongeur i'm digging the puzzle mate, genuis song!

Genius cover @man of simple pleasures !!!
Thank you very much for taking on such a brave adventure.
Kind regards, Gus
