Cheers Jan and Piri thank you for your feedback and question on how I record.
Just recently I installed a free online thing called Clipchamp onto my laptop. It is real easy to use. It has non-linear editing software that allows users to import, edit, and export audio and visual material. So I record my vocals and guitar on my cell phone. After experimenting a bit I began multi tracking my vocals. So I put my headphones on and play what I previously recorded through my laptop  while recording my  next vocal  into my cell phone. In regards to echoing voice parts its just multi tracking the same vocal in a way that makes it sound like it is echoing. So the echo sound comes by singing the same thing a little after or before the main vocal, also sometimes by singing a bit lower or higher. By using my recording method I can hear my previous dubbed track.  I have a terrible voice but I suspect someone with better vocal ability than me could make it work better. I email my recording of my phone to my laptop then download onto Clipchamp. Lyrically I’m losing my way at the moment.

Jim, I like your number 2 version the best of this song.     

I love not only the vocals but the incredible banjo and cello sound. Good moves there also to the music with the finger clicks and whistling.

Yes Jim that is the same Rolf Harris.

I read that Frank cultivated his famous phrasing by building his lung power – swimming underwater laps at local pools and jogging "before it was fashionable," so he could take imperceptible breaths as he crooned.     

Interesting song Jim.  John Prine had an interesting way of storytelling in song
That juxtaposition of peace and murder. Trying to save a marriage and maybe catch a few fish. The desecration of a peaceful place. Relationships, history, love, food, nature and water interesting how he covers it all in one song. I love that verse in that song.
The dogs were barking as the cars were parking
The loan sharks were sharking, the narcs were narcing
Practically everyone was there
In the parking lot by the forest preserve     

So true this song you can't beat Wellington on a good day.. Clever story line girl working for government and so on and of course the chorus.     

A good bit song writing. there Scott     

Cheers Richard, I’m not sure what happened with the "Tea" song Vanessa wrote with Ben. I came across that video after been introduced to a Vanessa Forero song “Beautiful Blue” that resonated with me while grieving a family death. Her song felt appropriate and spoke to my emotional pain in a way that made sense to me. My younger self could have embraced living in a area like the ones she is in but obviously it would have been me earning my living in a different way. I will attach a link to her song “Beautiful Blue”.
