    In your own right, You have already achieved the highest level of music, which is playing music just for the joy of playing it which comes from the soul. Which reflects the quality, and how the music is played.

    Larry, as I sit here on my 56th birthday, I find myself watching you and this clip about your musical journey and only wish I could play and sing as well as you. I have watched you over the years because we have similar stories and tastes in music, including the loss of a brother. Thank you so much for taking the time to learn your songs and sharing your talent with us. You need to know that you have achieved your dream. You are the musician, like Glen Campbell, who has inspired so many like me who only wish we could be like you. Play on!!

    Hey Larry... just discovered you on UA-cam yesterday and am blown away by your version of "Baby, I'd Love you to Want Me"...
    Never heard it sung like that before.. I LOVE it!. it has struck a real chord with me...😊
    Anyone who has grown up and lived with the music of the last 60+ years will definitely agree with all that you've said..
    I would not be anywhere near your level musically... but I do strum along and sing a bit with my ukuleles.. I get great pleasure and a lot of comfort from it...
    It has been both a pleasure and a privilage to hear you sing and play..
    Thankyou for putting out this video about your musical journey...
    All best wishes from Ireland.. ☘️
    ❤😊👍🏽

    I love you Larry ! No, I'm not gay. What I mean is I love your spirit and your attitude and your drive to be a great musician since you were a young child ! You ARE a great musician !!! That speech on your life is precious. Thank you for opening up like that. I used to listen to The Monkees and More of the Monkees over and over. Love them and Glen Campbell. I recorded him on Larry King singing his 6 biggest hits with just an acoustic guitar, no backing. Fantastic. I transferred it from VHS to digital so it's on my computer. If you want it, I'll send it to you. (I learned how to send large files through DropBox). Greatest concert I ever attended was Andy Williams at the Oakdale Theatre in Wallingford CT. Bought 2 tickets by calling PBS while watching a Christmas special to promote Andy Williams Christmas show. Lucked out - front row, center. He kept looking at me and my wife. Real cool. Sang his best Christmas songs - to us. OMG. Anyway, you are my main inspiration now. The way you play and sing. Such a high level of expertise. So many little things you do in songs that probably many people might not pick up on. What you're doing on You Tube is VERY IMPORTANT ! Please keep doing it. Thank you Larry !!!

    Hi Larry . First success isn't always what we think it should be. I watched Glenn Campbell and Johnny heartford every week. I ran a guitar shop and even bought an ovation guitar. Guitar playing became an annoyance to those around me so I sat it aside for nearly twenty years. I now play several hours a day and build guitars in my spare time. When I want to play a song I look for your rendition. Your thoroughness and subtleties are as good as anyone I have ever heard. Thanks for you contributions and thank you for letting me know a little about the successful musician you are. From someone who studied classical guitar , taught guitar professionally and worked hard at it ,you are incredible.

    Larry I have just watched this video and I have to say it just demonstrates your passion for music and most importantly your guitar playing. Over the years I have watched your youtube videos and you are an inspiration for anyone who has aspirations about learning guitar, I was 29 years old when a 50 year old friend of mine told me he had bought a guitar and was having private lessons, I had never considered this as something I wanted to do but I did like singing, so I thought I would give it try and bought a Spanish nylon strung cheap guitar.
    I took up a night school class and then later some private lessons at and the age of 35 I had a family and a very busy job and the two guitars I owned only got used now and then and finally 10 years later went into storage and not used again for 15 years. We later moved house and area and one night I went into this bar and a guitarist was the entertainer and he was covering all the sixties songs that loved and I started wishing I had never stopped so at the age of sixty I started again, and I am still doing it now (not as good as you though) I am now 73 and still not very good at it but just enjoy trying.

    Hey Larry, Wanted to say when I was a young twenty year old, I was driving out to move to Santa Fe, NM from Louisiana by myself, it was nearing sunset across the vast open land of northern Texas and Wichita Lineman came on the radio. A most beautiful feeling came over me as I drove and listened, and I fell very much in love with the song. Within Glen Campbell's voice in Wichita Lineman lives a most beautiful compassionate spirit. I know, I heard it that late summer afternoon in 1974.

I ran across your video's many years ago and have been a fan ever since. I understand getting emotional when you work so hard at something and your passion is so high. Anyway I just wanted to tell you that since I've started my musical journey you have been a big influence of mine. Thank you for all you do.

When the Beatles came out I was hooked my older brother had a record collection and your life story is a mirror of so many young men of our generation It even brought back a memory the first-time we herd credence we set listening to bad mood rising over and over on his brothers 45 car record player hooked to a car battery in his room till the battery died. Love what you do God Bless.

I also never took lessons but never started guitar until my late 20's, early 30's .Thank you so much for showing me so many things. I appreciate all the time you take to teach people like me over the years. Glad to see someone else shares the love of music. On a side note I can remember doing a report on Glen Campbell in 8th grade. He was such a underappreciated musician. What a talent. Thanks for sharing.

    Well now ... this is such a treasure to find ... I am so glad you made this video, Thank You. I'll begin were you did (figured we had to be close in age, I'm 2 years younger) ... Louie, Louie by the Kingsman was one of my favs when young and I have some fantastic memories of it being played on my ex-sister-in-laws 8 track as we cruised about drinking cherry cokes. I watched and loved Glen Campbell (maybe not as much as you but ...) but I like Your music, some of your originals, more than any of his ... really how dare you compare yourself to others ... "... for always there will be those greater and lessor .... " anyway ... so ... I take it you never became a minister (or priest?) ... I became one on-line in 2011 and not just so I could marry someone (like many do) although I have not ever done anything with that ... but I still think about forming a "Chapel of Love". Success is all about how you feel ... and it sounds as if you are fully successful ... I was surprised to find out you had not made a CD (but am not sure maybe you have now???). You did what I did not do in life ... you followed that Love of music ... I did not (although I do really enjoy listening). What you did today just blew me away ... I so look forward to listening to ALL your covers. Love & Peace to All

Like yourself I also fell in love with music as a kid (I'm around your age) and listened endlessly to albums, however I picked up the guitar later in life but never pursued it as you so it is just a hobby for me and helps me to unwind. Been following your videos for a couple of years and they are inspiring and I have learned from them. Thanks for your dedication and for sharing.

  • @davidhowenstein960
    @davidhowenstein960 8 років тому

    Thank you so much Larry. I really enjoy the music you play and you play and sing very well. Fame and fortune is not the gift. Music is and you have the gift. I was born several years after you, 1963, but I have a lot of the same influences. I love Johnny Mathis. Andy Williams too. I really enjoy going through all your covers because all of them evoke a feeling. That's what makes an artist. Evoking feelings in the listener or observer. You have this gift too. I play the guitar also but I haven't put 1 % of the passion and determination that you have into the art. As the saying goes, "I don't play guitar because I am good at it. I play because I like it". You can really see your love for the music that you play and... you are good at it too. Thanks again Larry and keep playing.

  • @nightowldisco1778
    @nightowldisco1778 10 років тому

    Hi Larry. I enjoyed your story and the genuine way you told it. Like you, music has been my life, and always will be. I was looking for some Gordon Lightfoot covers and came across this video. I'm glad I did. Even though its a little melancholy it put me in a good mood to know that there are others out there who feel the way I do. Now I'll listen to your music... it seems I have a lot to choose from!
    In my opinion people like Glen Campbell are born great. Yes, they work hard and refine their craft but when all's said and done they also have 'something' that the rest of us don't have, and will never have. So I say do your own thing, enjoy it and let others enjoy it too.
    Best wishes.

    Larry, I’ve always enjoyed your immense talents, and think of you whenever I watch anybody that has talent, but not yet discovered by the masses. You left us a while ago, but thankfully through the miracle of video recording, and you gifting us with your fine efforts, you’re always with us, on demand, 24/7.
    I take comfort knowing that, and I thank you.
    I even like hearing you talk, sharing your life, interested in hearing whatever you have to say.
    RIP Larry, thank you so much for sharing. I hope there is something for us after we finish up on this earth. I hope to hear you play again.
    Your anecdote about Glen Campbell was terrific, because like you, he made me want to play. I remember walking up to the drugstore to buy some hairspray so I might get my hair to look like his.
    I, unlike you, didn’t have the talent, or the drive after I got kicked out of band in 6th or 7th grade because I had zero natural talent. I figured the teacher was right, no Hollywood script here, because my parents were not, or maybe did not know how to, reinforce and support my struggle.
    For anyone seeking Larry’s obituary, it can be found online. His full name to search is Larry Ludwikowski.

I see this was posted years ago so I don't know if you still check the comments, but I am very glad you posted this bit about yourself. I've been curious to know more about you. We are about the same age, within a couple years, and our stories are quite similar. I too am addicted to music, but I can't play like you brother. I so wish that I could. I like to think I'm a decent song writer, but damn I wish I could play like you. I said that twice cause I mean it. Keep entertaining us Larry. You are a force of nature.

    Larry, I appreaciate your sharing and I think you are a great guitar player and musician.Listening to you reminds me a little of myself as I also love to play the guitar and the songs that I play are rather similar to those that you posted. I stumbled upon your guitar tutorial and really did learn alot from it. Great work.

    Hey Larry, I watched the most of your videos and loved all of them! I even showed your covers of Beatles to my teacher who is a 70-year-old Scottish lady. She has become a fan of you!
    It is awesome to hear your story here and please keep doing what you are doing.

    Larry, thanks for sharing. Born 1958 myself, your story is much like mine. For me, you're right up there with +Jim Croce, James Taylor, Bobby Goldsboro and yes, +Glen Campbell. Your renditions touches our hearts and brings back fond memories. That goes beyond any measurement of success. God blessed you with a wonderful gift.

    Hi Larry, I found your videos on UA-cam by accident, but I have to say that I'm glad I did. Your passion for music really shows in this 'documentary' about yourself, you also show that you have many musical influences and like all types of music. Keep up the good work. All the best, Gordon Taylor, Scotland UK

    Yes, you are loved Larry. I am a little older than you, Polish, and born in Hawaii. The 60’s were so much fun. We all have our own history and how we got thru it. I am so happy you followed your passion so in that you are a success! Doing what you are meant to do is the best choice you can do for yourself. I will pray someone will see you and make your dreams come true. You are that good! Music is about truth and heartfelt meaning. When it comes from the heart you can’t go wrong. Keep on playing🎸and singing 🎤!

    Hi Larry, I can't begin to tell you how much I enjoyed hearing about your life and how much I truly enjoy your music. You and I share a love for music and I too can remember spending every dime I had buying 45s and albums when I was a child and a teenager. I still have all of my 45s and albums. You, my friend, are a true talent and you sing and play beautifully. I often like your version of a song better than the original. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. By the way, Glen Campbell is one of my favorites as well.

So, you did super my friend with over 10.000.000 views you should be proud of yourself..I myself is proud getting over 1,000,000 views, but I guess I didn't practice enough like you...

    Larry I saw this when you originally posted it but revisited it today by happenstance. You have achieved quite a bit but more importantly you've brought joy to this world with your musical talent. That is an awesome thing my friend! You continually amaze with with the variety of your performances. And yes your rendition of "Wichita Lineman" would delight Mr. Campbell as much as it does me.

    Larry you're an amazing kind person . Thank you for sharing . When ever I see a video of someone playing and singing without feeling or emotion , i use to be guilty of that until I saw your videos lol .I send them over to your channel to get an idea how to capture what's missing . I'm 63 and like yourself , self taught . Traded my older brother for his guitar for my BB gun when I was 11 . Had to sneak out with my Green Apple Beatle book pd 1.50 for it , we weren't allowed to listen to "Devils music" . Anyways for Thanksgiving I went to my farm in Mo. I sang and played "Heart of Gold " to my grandkids ...not a dry eye out of all 10 of them ... Guess what ?...2 of my granddaughters set me up with their mother in laws ! Thank you For all you do :)

    Thank you for sharing that Larry, it was very up front and personal and very courageous of you. I am a year older and have so many of the same influences in my musical tastes. I just listened through your tutorial on Riverside, loved it!! Very inspiring! Success is getting up in the morning and going to bed at night and inbetween, doing what you really want to do. Bob Dylan said that. The way you play these songs and the huge range you cover is brilliant, make no mistake about it. You are a huge success and I hope you can allow yourself to accept this truth. Thanks for the music and inspiration. I hope you are out there every day playing because the world needs live music played the way you do it. A life very well spent!

    If You are happy your a success. Man I've Played most my life. I have had 8 hr a day jobs to support my family, I've forgotten lots of songs. I've been in bands most of my life. made some money doing what I Love To Do on the week ends.... I am a year older than you. I messed up my back about 8 years ago and could no longer do the band thing. But I did Go back try and did it for 2 more years. BUT NO MORE! I Miss being part of a band. But I have got to play a little every day. I thought I would go back and re visit tunes of my youth and learn some of the great music form the 70's. And that is how I found your You Tube Page. And I Got To Tell You, Your Dam GOOD! I enjoy learning from you. THANK YOU SO MUCH! A New Fan....

    Fascinating. Im close to your age so I can relate to much of your story. I also got an Andy Williams album for Xmas as a Kid and played it to death. I also did the morning face in the old stereo rocking Dave Clark 5 lol . OMG I also had the little recorder machine and taped tunes endlessly. I too feel an intense love for music.... Still do. My folks from The South so I too worshipped Glen Campbell. Wichitaw Lineman still gives me chills to this day. Played that album to death as well. Saw him front row and I was in heaven. You are amazing! Thanks for the joy you share, you are a divine talent. Gee so much fun listening to you. Stay well~

    I took clarinet in high school and l was in senior band in grade 9. I spent all my free time practising, took piano as well. But l mostly liked to play by ear and from 5 years of age l absolutely loved music. It is so interesting to hear your story Larry, because l think when you discover that you have a gift and the sky is the limit, it is the most beautiful journey to take in your whole life! You are so gifted, and l love your voice, your playing, all very well done! Thank you again, Larry.

    Recently subscribed to you and stumbled upon this video. Really enjoyed it and really enjoy your covers. It's nice to know some background of the people I've subscribed to, takes guts to put yourself out there like that but how else will people get to know the man behind the music. Keep up the music!
