Hey guys, thanks for doing such a nice cover of our song. I was a founding member and musical director of the Critters. I played bass and sang background vocals on the original recording of this song. Just one issue - the bridge lyrics. If you ever feel like fixing the video or for your live shows the bridge lyrics are: Take my hand and walk with me. Wake this land and stalk the sea. Show me love. Unlock... all doors. I'm yours. The phrasing is understandably tricky and hard to make sense of unless you see it written out. The sentence ends with "love, " and a new sentence begins with "unlock..." but singing them makes it sound like one sentence. Anyway, nice job overall! I really enjoyed it and all your renditions of these great old songs. Keep up the good work!

Don Ciccone was my uncle my mothers brother. He would be very proud of this rendition of his song. Thanks for playing it and keeping his memory alive. We lost Don in 2016 but his music lives on here and through his time with Frankie Valli.

What a nice, fat bass sound. Perfect. The final chord on the vocals is an especially nice touch.

I am almost 70 and had the blessing to have been in my teens and 20s when most of the songs you play were performed by the original groups. I love listening to your work. You are very talented.

I have been a Brazilian musician and doctor for many years. Today I am 65 years old. I still have a band, too. kkkk. I play the guitar. You are a wonderful example of life. Musicians of extreme sensitivity and good musical taste. Your vocals are exceptional. They are not behind any world band. I was very touched when I first heard you. God continue to bless you all. I hope one day to be able to give each one a big and loving hug. A kiss in the hearts of everyone in the band.
