Cruisin' (Smokey Robinson cover on acoustic guitar)

No CBG this week but I thought some folks here might enjoy this...

For some reason... I was in the mood to cover a Smokey song this week. He is such a great performer. I know I can never compete but here's my version of his 1979 hit Cruisin'.

Good, bouncy cover Kale!

Very nice. I'm anxious to hear what you guys do with it. It's certainly a fun song.

I worked up a 1-finger version yesterday and now it’s time to start practicing the song with Smokey via YouTube and get the verses down. I’m good to go on the chorus. Fun song, and the 1-finger version is easy to play.

Thanks John. I really appreciate that. It's a great old tune and I was having trouble translating it to CBG but I grabbed a 6-string and boom... it just worked.

Oh, baby.  I like this one.   Looking and sounding good and so is big blue.   Very good playing here, Percival!

Well... you guys have certainly inspired me more than once so I'm glad it can go both ways Doug.

You inspired me to check out Crusin’ for myself! Smoke does hit the sweet high notes though. I plan to check it out after I’m up and moving around. Could be a fun one for the Slingers. Thanks Kale!
