I am so happy to hear this song, one of my all time favourites and one of my dear mum's too from all those years ago, sung by our own Mahendra! Well done! You are doing such a good job. It brings back all the nostalgia and for a few minutes we feel so calm and peaceful. Thanks Mahendra and Lucky! Let's have more like this. Sincerely yours, Zita
ReplyDeleteThanks Manel, Indra, Zita and Rohini. Nothing pleases a singer more than to know that he has brought even a small ray of sunshine to the life of the listener! Thank you for your encouragement.

Hi Mahen, the translation of this comment is crazy! I guess this is a 'bot.' I'm looking forward to downloading your version of this beautiful song and having my sister listen to it. She loved your 'Move it Man!'
DeleteHi Srianee. Just emailed you the song as an MP3 file. Thanks again for your encouragement.
DeleteI played your version of this beautiful song for my sister and asked "Better than Jim Reeves, right?" She said "Of course!" It was quite emphatic! She loved it.
DeleteOMG! If I was fair skinned like you Srianee, you would see me blushing! "I aim to please"!
DeleteHiSpeedy,
ReplyDeleteIt was wonderful to hear your rendition of Jim Reeves. You are indeed very talented in so many ways. I am so amazed at the way you are able to pick out your batch mates in your virtual interview series and showcase their individual talents - the latest Sujatha Maligaspe. Keep up your great work.
Regards.
Cyril Ernest.
Mahen, your talents are fathomless.
ReplyDeleteThat rendition was ever so great., bringing back those memories of yester year.
Any more????
Mahen
ReplyDeleteThat is one of my special favourites as it reminds me of my mum who loved this song so much. Thank you for bringing back those memories of long ago. You sing it so well with so much feeling. It is good to listen to your music after a very long pause. Did the Tyros play a part?
Thanks Raz, O'Substantial One (bow, bow, wow, wow!). And thanks ND. I am afraid the backing music is not mine. I can play this on my Tyros but cannot beat all the additional sound effects on this. It is indeed a lovely song.
ReplyDeleteHi Speedy, heard you singing from a distance and wandered who was singing this alltime favorite of our times. When I told her it was you she remarked sounds very professional. Keep singing my friend !!!
ReplyDeleteGlad Queelan liked it. Pleased to see you commenting more. Please continue doing that.
