Only Sixteen

[rogera]

I'm going back here to the 7th of August 1959 when Craig Douglas had a hit with this number.

15 weeks at No 1 !

Only Sixteen

[Mikey]

That works really well as an instrumental. Some great tones !

[Risky]

Like it Roger

Will you make the BT available on your next CD (15 weeks - you'll have to call your CD "Backin' the Winners")

Phil

What can I say. You've done it again.
Great old classic, beautifully interprited (Shadows style).

You are going to have to put together a BT cd and tab for a group of songs like this & sea cruise.

Has anyone done Silhouettes? I love that tune. If I were starting a tribute band, that's what I would call them.

Hi Roger..nice version..Gary

[rogera]

Numbers which were originally vocals don't always work well as instrumentals but I'm pleased to hear that you liked this arrangement.

Thanks very much for the comments.

[Phil McGarrick]

Cor I was only 8 when this came out - Smashing job Roger - faultless performance lovely tone on your guitar.
- you haven't told us which one you used, but which ever one it was sounds just right for this song which works great as an instrumental.

Cheers Phil

[rogera]

Thanks for that Phil - my Strat seemed to suit this number best so that's what I used.

Corrrrrrrr.........where did that last fifty years go eh !!!!

[Phil McGarrick]

Yes agreed - 50 years makes me feel old - but the good thing is I can still remember these classics from way back then.
The Strat sounds great for this song - but sometimes you catch me out and you're not always using what I think you are.
Nice one Phil

[Stratpicker]

Superb Track, Rog!!
I quite remember the original and this Instro is SO reminiscent.
LOvely Job!!
Craig Douglas is still going the rounds with this song (and others) as part of a 60's Revival Roadshow.
cheers
