  • I can only imagine the euphoria David Gates felt as this song flowed from his guitar.. I'm sure in his heart he wondered where it came from.. I hope he thanked the One who gave him, and all of us, this stunning gift. This was a request, and a great one.. Thank you for asking me for it. It's an honor to be able to perform it for you.

    Larry it's not your excellent guitar playing that makes you loved, it's not your strong and beautiful voice that makes you appreciated, but it's the way you throw your heart into each and every song you sing like a winning world series team. Thank you so much for "If," one of the most beautiful songs of all time. -Jim

    Beautiful Job Larry! Really Love this song. Bread were very under-rated in my opinion. Very sad that 3 of the 4 members are no longer with us. With David Gates being the only one left, a reunion is now very unlikely.

    so much adore your gifted talent;... your voice, your guitar playing, and the way you put your heart into every single words you sing. You deserved a standing applause indeed.
    I've loved this song and also "Aubrey" for years, so simple yet touching lyrics. and you have made this more than that. For sure David Gates will be very proud of u too, Larry.
    GORGEOUS!!

    This was our wedding song 45 years ago. I insisted on "If," instead of Streisand's "Summer Me, Winter Me." A very wise choice, indeed. Larry I wish you would have sung that to us. Thanks for that wonderful presentation.

    Hi Sir Larry! I just wanted to say that I am loving all your covers and it all started just 1 hour ago when i was supposed to find guitar cover of Old Songs by Barry Manilow and i found your video playing it in piano. Your voice is just so amazing and the way you play it. i'm glad to know you also play guitar and you have played songs of Bread 'If' and 'Aubrey'. I hope you'll cover "Come What May" by Lani Hall and Herb Alpert. Thank you so much.

    Larry~HOMERUN, my friend:)~I can remember the first time i heard this song as a kid~I Enjoy David's music & love it more as time goes by~But what it comes down to is this~Nobody is wrong in attempting to cover David's or any of Bread's music~But, attempting is something you never do with music~Your cover here, just like all your music, shines with real beautiful sound~This is romantic & wonderfully warm~If people are looking for genuine music, all they need to do is come to you~ione marie

    Since you take requests on occasion, would you play The Euphrates by Seals and Crofts? It's an absolutely gorgeous, hypnotic song, right in your vocal range and would highlight your wonderful guitar playing. Your fans would LOVE IT.
