Just realized I had previously recorded ~Where have all the flowers gone~ a year ago on Soundcloud, Totally forgot

A good song from your back catalogue Jan thank you for sharing.
Easy Beat has put up "Songs I wish I Had Written". recently ' I like many songs so many that I can't put a number on here because there is too many. But one that lyrically made sense to me in the worldwide mainstream is this songs because it speaks to people in my age demographic grey haired teenagers.
Jan, this is the first time I have heard Joni sing that latest version definitely would have to be the best version I have heard. Her older voice has a nice resonance to it that makes the more mature version have more impact.
Jim i didn't realize Joni was married to Graham Nash. I knew she wrote Woodstock the song for the band he was in Grosby , Stills and Nash. She had a hit with Woodstock also but I always preferred the G, Sand N version. I will attach them doing that song live.

Another clever lyrically written song Jim . When I saw the title I was thinking about how our Auctioneers down in this part of the world say, "going going gone" before dropping their gavel to confirm the winning successful bid. In your song it takes on a different meaning.
Jan your magic. I love your mahi on here thank you.
Easy Beat has put up "Songs I wish I Had Written". recently ' I like many songs so many that I can't put a number on because there is too many. But one that lyrically made sense to me in the worldwide mainstream is Joni Mitchell '"Both Sides Now.". For me it speaks about not wanting to cause to much unnecessary friction.
My mum always said to me that is impractical. but somehow it defines how we all should be.

I listened to this and I see on the YouTube link you put up here it is Al Hunter but it sounds like Willy Nelson. only thing I can think of is it is to do with Airlines or flying or travel. My question is it the kiwi Al Hunter?
Though I have known of this song since it was put out and so do many other Kiwis, not many know who commissioned it originally down in this part of the world.
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.
Piri, I’m with you on modern recording tech ruining good songs. The way they record vocals and drums today in most instances today doesn’t appeal to my ears. Things like autotune are overdone in most recording also drum machines and synthesized bass and vocals.
Jim, I like your number 2 version the best of this song.
Brilliant lyrics Scott plenty to think about there. The way it flows I also love that you have captured the feeling of chaos when our world is turned upside down.
Swimming in mysteries
Lost in the maze
Fighting contradictories
Running through the haze
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.
Pennies From Heaven
I love My Dog by Cat Stevens.
Yes Jim that is the same Rolf Harris.
That is the good thing about songs is they can be covered by doing them in ways different from the original. Songs covered by Joe Cocker who made "With A Little Help From My Friends" and other songs into something uniquely special though not always good as the original. Another example I can think of is the Ukulele Orchestra Of Great Britain clever take on The Who song "Tommy". Another example the disgraced Rolf Harris version of "Stairway To Heaven "
Sometimes I like to hear a troubadour tell in not too many words a simple but effective story in a song like this one about two drifters meeting each other.

That song has got that bouncy trademark of the Burt Bacharach, Hal David sound and production.
I wonder if in the rural areas around the world dying towns where people have moved away from will see a return of people in years to come. Maybe its a bit like chordie nowadays not many people hanging around.
The song of Burt Bacharach and Hal David that stands out for me is "Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head" written for the 1969 film Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.
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.
There is a lot to think about in that song especially now when people all around the world are in a In a long line leading to the providers door. Most countries now have behind certain doors admission's only guaranteed to the favoured few. Long waiting lists and plenty more. Necessities costing more and more.
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
That would have to be one of the best modern day single man blues songs that I know of.
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.
EB that is a real good song first time I have heard it.
