Rocky Raccoon - THE BEATLES (cover)

Rocky Raccoon is a song from the White Album by The Beatles (‪@TheBeatles‬) and it’s written by Paul McCartney (‪@PaulMcCartney‬). From the first time I heard this song I’ve always had a Davy Crockett-like figure in mind.
The advantage of a story-telling song is that I never have to memorize the text. I used to sing this song regularly and 50 years later I didn't need the lyrics at all to sing it again.

About BEAUX JARDINS:
I often get the question: Why Beaux Jardins?
One of my older brothers has always been quite francophile. In his early twenties he even planned to go to France for good. Then we thought of which name he should use - you’d better not use the name Van Schoonhoven overthere. One of the options was to just translate our name into french: Beaux Jardins. Somehow I have always kept that name in some remote corner of my mind.
Years ago when I recorded a few songs with my son Jelmer, it felt obvious to use that name. And since then I used it for all my audio and video recordings. In hindsight I can say that was not a very smart idea. Once you search Beaux Jardins on UA-cam you will see hundreds of the most beautiful gardens, but Bart van Schoonhoven? ……No Way. But putting Bart behind that search string you will see my channel coming up.
About Bart_van_Schoonhoven (‪@Bart_van_Schoonhoven‬) :
Early seventies I recorded two singles with my band Breeze, a few years later followed by an album and the two hit singles, • Breeze - Gypsy Woman •... and • BREEZE, It's Only a Ma... . Renowned for my vocal efforts, I did guest appearances on albums of various other artists, such as The Surfers and the famous series of Stars on 45.
In 2005 I released the album called • EUMETRIS - 412nd with my band EUMETRIS (‪@eumetris‬), 15 years later in 2019 followed by the album • EUMETRIS - The Midnigh... .
Since late 2019 I have been doing solo performances with my project ‘Songs That Linger’ with lots of covers alternated with lots of originals. Unfortunately Covid-19 came and a lot of scheduled gigs were canceled or postponed. Powered by corona efforts I developed some solo projects during this period: ‘Can’t Rewind’, ‘Like Everly’, ‘Like Finn’, ‘Like McHastle’, ‘Like Simon’, 'Like Dylan'. Now I had time to record video's as well.
