Greetings and Happy Canada Day too you. You certainly come from a very diverse and interesting country. My sister back in 1965 went to Vancouver planning  for a short visit and fell in love with Canada forgetting to leave. It has been her home country ever since way back then.

Your fictional character felt real. Your story came through in a powerful, way an excellent piece of songwriting.

Nice those images nicely photographed. Instruments balanced in a gentle flowing subtle way. A very relaxing watch and listen.. Took me back to a couple of English summers I experienced years back. Another garden creature I use enjoy watching was the Squirrels that use to run around  on the branches of a large  Oak Tree outside our Kitchen Window while living over in Richmond Surrey.

Not only great to hear your excellent  vocals but I also dig your guitar and harmonica playing.

Knocking On Heavens Door. Sounds like a good song to tackle not too many lyrics great chorus and one many Chordians could do. Great sugestion Roger.

So glad to hear you have found the light at the end of the tunnel after what you have been through in recent times. I love the way you two have a love that shines so bright and strong. You are proof of love will conquer all.
Thank you for your Sunshine.
Love to you both.

One thing I have noticed about age is it is easier to not want to be part  of the modern world. Younger people are more conected by technology where I tend to keep its use to a minimum. Another thing I notice  some people seem sometimes to assume once you get past 60 you start to become incapable. As a result some older people get deprived the opportunity to be part of what younger people are doing. So the older people become invisable. Lukily for me even though Im in my 60s I  still havent figured out what I am going to do when I grow up. Good observational lyrics Grah.

Jim that is a clever way of adding your special  creativity. I wonder if Neil  ever thought about a sequel to After The Gold Rush.

I agree with Grah another two very good  original covers. I like the way everyone so far has put thier own stamp on it.

Hello Bill
Love you and Dondra. When you are not around Chordie feels a bit empty.

Love the way Joe, you made it your own, capturing all the, good elements of the original but not straight out copying . Magic performance.

That is a clever piece of technology Amy. Jandle I can imagine you making a good cover of Ali's song. Sadly Ali's  life has been messed up through Heroin addiction.

Interesting song when tackling life we all at times have a bit of self doubt. The sad  thing about a lot of artists is they try to be popular rather than being true to thermselves.
Once again you have displayed depth and substance through your music.

Good one Kim reminiscent of how I imagine Santana would approach Jims song.

Wow Rick and Graham you guys got it going on with your versions of After The Goldrush. Once again thank you to all  of those who have taken the time to listen to my attempt.

POLY KALA very good loved it  a wonderful raunchy sound.

Manually with help on recording instruments by sound engineer.

Thank you for having  a listen and the feed back. I did the backing as single tracks with borrowed instruments with the help of my  visiting friend from India, Yogesh and his work, microphones and other tricks.   With the vocals I just recorded that with a cell phone no mike. My aim is to try to keep things raw as possible and aviod using technology. Also that way it covers up my poor singing voice. So its all done manual on this one so that is why the playing is not that great. Drums, Keyboard, Guitar, Bass. We only had an hour to get the instruments down.  Vocals done at home later with cell phone. Zurf I have been trying to get a tune out of a Hamonica I got given at Christmas and it has proved to be a tough instrument to conquer.

I have put my version of After The Gold Rush up on soundcloud if anyone is interested to have a listen. https://soundcloud.com/eatleville/after-the-goldrush

That sounds like a good name fo a new musical movement the.  Sleeping Glass Eyed Club.

That sounds like you know  Easy Beat. On the tennis court he is a legend of great wit, and return hits.
When the the Easy Beat Film comes out will we  have Peter Fonda playing Easy Beat.
I want Jack Nicholson to play me.
