Goodbye Stranger Bass Cover

I wish a reluctant Happy Birthday to Roger Hodgson who was born on this date in 1950.

Why my reluctance? I can count on one hand the number of videos I've had permanently blocked, taken down, received copyright strikes for... and I never took it personally, until this one. This is a really old video and it kept getting blocked. I'd no sooner file a counter-dispute and win the appeal when the video would get blocked by a different "content owner". I had to have won over a dozen disputes until it was finally taken down and a strike lodged against my channel. I did a little research and learned that Roger Hodgson could give Don Henley a run for his money in the race to be the top copyright nazi. A few years ago I began to notice some covers of the song popping up on YouTube, so I tried re-uploading mine. YouTube wouldn't allow it because it said that it was a video that had been previously taken down. I guess they have a long memory. I trimmed a few seconds off the start of the video and it worked, so it's been uploaded, but dormant, on my channel for a couple of years. I thought today might be an appropriate day to make it public. It’s not even a Roger Hodgson song, it was written and sung by Rick Davies. 

"Goodbye Stranger" by Supertramp off of their 'Breakfast in America' album which came out in 1979 and featured Dougie Thomson on bass. The album also had Peter Henderson producing and engineering a few years before he would do the same for Rush on their 'Grace Under Pressure' album.

Busy weekend ahead - Blackberry Smoke on Friday and Micky Dolenz on Saturday.

I'm playing the Fender "Classic 70's Precision".
