Topic: Neon Moon, Brooks and Dunn cover

OK, it's been awhile and I am on the down side of a cold, but here it is, mistakes and all.  I am still trying to get the mixer settings right.

Pete I really liked that alot ,I think it is the best song you have done. (what cold ) can not hear any cold in your voice and the Martin sounds sweet.

Re: Neon Moon, Brooks and Dunn cover

There's my buddy Pete!  I think it sounds pretty good, not sure what mixer settings you are concerned with.  In one of your earlier videos, I noticed you using a capo.  Since I started using mine, I noticed I can play around with it and it makes a big difference on some songs with not having to stretch my voice to fit the key.  On some songs that capo could be your best buddy as well.  Sometimes the song indicates to play it in a certain spot, but I experiment a little until it gets more comfortable to sing it.  Food for thought; however, bottom line is I am glad you jumped back in here and I enjoy what you do.

Re: Neon Moon, Brooks and Dunn cover

I know I need work, but I love it.  It has been a while and I feel like I may have jumped back in too fast.  Yes, my guitar is starting to open up.  Sounds good.  I do check each song I do with a capo to see what suits my voice best.

Re: Neon Moon, Brooks and Dunn cover

Hey Pete!  I love it as well.  As for you needing work, I don't think so!  I appreciate what you do and having another of us older guys trying to have a little fun is great.  Keep em coming; no more of that talk about jumping in because we already have and the water is not toooooooo deep and not tooooooooo cold.   Just having fun is what it should be all about.  Once I put that in perspective, I have moved ahead.  Talk to you soon.   Big Jim

Another song I have never heard before and I do like this one also. Good recording with a nice balance between guitar and vocals.
