This my entry for August is called When Flowers Bloom. It is winter here and my garden has taken a bit of hiding mostly due to strong cold winds though there are some flowers in my garden that the petals haven't been destroyed. . . It was a bit hard going on my fingers but I managed to squeeze out a tune on the guitar for this one in a style I don't normally play but my Maree likes to listen to. It was just recorded on my cell phone no fancy mikes or anything. I tried to write some simple but easy to remember lyrics.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-qTfk4v_4o

I like the laid back, swing feel of this song ...

Always hard to get a good balance between voice and banjo (or banjitar), and even though I was listening on headphones, was hard to make out the lyrics ... but what I could make ou sounded like a fun little song!!

This is quite a good song, I'm curious what you recorded it on ... ?

This is "Walking Cane," a (I think) public domain song I first heard by Robert Earl Keen. Proper recording would have permitted me to get rid of the screeches and put some God Mode into my voice.

I know what you mean about 'not practicing slide' - I think I've finally given up on that ... but the song sounded quite good, I'fd never heard this one before ...

I appreciate you setting your phone back a bit ... Personally I think it's better when you can see the guitar as well as hear it - I always look at the guys who do videos 'professionally', and they always sit or stand with their waist upwards visible; so those young-un's still got something to teach us

The song was quite good and suited you vocally, I don't think it was 'all wrong', it wasn't perfect, but making mistakes is better than faking perfection ...

neophytte, thanks for the great feedback on my cover
I really liked your cover of Vincent, you performed it really well, especially if you have just gotten over a cold. You managed the high notes and just the right amount of reverb on this one. Great to hear you chatting a little bit before hand as well. Big Thumbs up from me.

Thanks for the great feedback (and also from @easybeat, @Peatle @TIGLJK), sorry for the delay in replying, I'll have to start working on some September songs and catch up!

Cheers

Richard

zurf, lol sorry if your not a fan of Neil Youngs music Just what I could hear in parts of your vocals on one of your songs. I like some of the old Neil Young songs, so didn't mean to insult you
Thanks for the neat feedback on my cover too

What'd I ever do to you? LOL!

I thought your Dylan cover was great. I haven't heard that song in decades, and it is a poignant and beautiful song. I enjoyed your rendition far beyond Dylan's.

So here it is, rushed as it is.

I thought that was great - that really suits your voice and your uke technique ...

Sorry I'm really late, I got a cold halfway through the month, and was going to do this at a gig, but had to cancel the gig, so now I'm mostly better, this is "Vincent" by Don McLean: https://youtu.be/jOZlvGMGfyU

Thanks so much Peatle, Grah1, easybeat and TIGLJK for the AWESOME feedback, made my day today actually and put a smile on my face from all the lovely comments and feedback. I was doing housework, blah, and it lifted my spirit up as I did my jobs around the house.

Jan - Girl with the golden voice ! She should have been in a recording studio years ago IMHO !

Just leaves it to imagination what she would sound like with a band rather than her Uke (which is very good! )

Nice cover Jan, really suits your voice.
we`re into Sept now, im looking forward to hearing
what songs you and others come up with.

I love your song choice on that one Jan you did a good rendition. It got me reminiscing about the coffee bars here in Wellington when I was in my teens. Many of these places would at night have folk singers singing and the patrons would singalong with them and that was one of the songs I would hear.

zurf, I enjoyed listening and watching both of those and I always enjoy your chat before hand. I actually don't know either of those songs so I cant compare them to the originals but they sounded fine by me and I think you covered them both well and with enthusiasm. I was listening to the sound of your vocals, I reckon your voice would also suit some Neil Young songs, just at certain points I could hear your vocals sounded a bit like his vocals.

Anyway here is my very late entry and done very quickly as its the last day of the month for this months entries. I was hoping to do another 2 songs that I had lined up but time has run out for me as we were away on holiday and I just haven't had time to get anything more done for this.
