An oldish video.

[El Gobernador]

I shot this 10 years ago on my iPhone 3. Things have come a long way since then. LoL

It's an instrumental version of my tune Powerglide. Which is ironic...because in the video I'm driving my old 59 F100 with a 302 and a C4.

The things you do when you're bored on a hot Iowa summer day.

Moves along nicely El G.

The tune has real “drive” to it. Great road music! Thanks for sharing it.

The tune is an instrumental version of this :

 

[Martin Mim]

That’s the stuff, @El Gobernador ! I always look forward to more of your music.

 

[El Gobernador]

Thanks for listening!

 

[guitarchaeologist]

I read the song title first and my mind automatically (pun intended) went to the old Chevy trannies.
Fun description. Loved the song.

 

[stratosurf]

Really great tune, and a great sound ! Enjoyed that, thanks

 

[Gridlock]

Nice, video, song, playing, and a very cool old Ford truck. Nice job and Thanks for sharing.

But, a Powergilde is a GM 2-speed automatic transmission, perhaps you sould rename the your video, “C4”.

Duh. This is the irony. The song is about a 1963 Corvette with a 327 and a two speed Powerglide. Listen to the vocal version posted above.

"I got a 327 and a two-speed Powerglide" right there in the lyrics.

"Blew the doors off an old black Ford" is talking about my truck. LoL

Oops, didn’t listen all the way.

 

[El Gobernador]

LoL. Pays to listen.

I've always been a Ford guy, although I did have a Skylark GS and a 68 Camaro RS. The Skylark was a straight line monster. The Camaro too.

The F100 was my baby though. Loved that truck.

Nice collection, I was always a Chevy / Pontiac guy in my younger days,

I owned a couple of ‘55 Chevy Belair’s, a Pontiac GT-37, a Trans Am, and I bracket raced my ‘69 302 Z28 and a 454 Corvette.

Nice that you still have those cars. I’ll have to listen to your video again, and this time, all the way through.

 

[rolandson]

That was fun Chris.
I gather you miss that truck.

Got any more videos?

 

[monte merrick]

nice! and love the barefoot gas pedal! takes me back...

The lyrics aren't in the video...it's an instrumental. I posted the vocal version below it.

Nice that you still have those cars.

Past tense (did have...was...loved). Along with a 63 Falcon Sprint and a 63 Ranchero. And a Lotus Eclat and Esprit.

Now I have a couple of Toyotas and some memories. And better gas mileage.

 

[El Gobernador]

Got any more videos?

Yeah. New Mexico killed it. Kinda like me. Should have been a restful time, but we both worked our asses off.

I do have more video stuff. Just gotta dig it up.

 

[Dadocaster]

That's some **** right there. Thanks for posting. Yeeps.

The tune is an instrumental version of this :

Nicely done. Did you do all of the instruments and vox, or did you collaborate?

 

[El Gobernador]

Nicely done. Did you do all of the instruments and vox, or did you collaborate?

All me. And a drummer. Lots of edits and looping on the drumming. There's like a million guitars on it. LoL

There was a "band" that did live shows, but recordings were me and the drummer.
