I really enjoyed both versions of your song Mojo ..... both had my attention, both were great listening.  I think the studio one was more professional on the recording side and I think you played it without the capo on the 3rd fret? where as the original you played it with the capo on?  I think the original was still good though as you have a natural talent anyway.  Hard to choose between the two songs which i preferred as they were both good.  I guess if it boiled down to it, the recorded version would be better listening on the radio for the sound quality but as I said tough choice as i like both versions.

I went back and listened to both and you are correct I did play it with a capo on the third fret on the first one, I some times forget to make notes on things like that and forget. now you have wondering what it would have sounded like in the studio on the third fret.

well here is the first from my trip to the studio. curious to hear from every one opinions on the difference in the two recordings. Questions I ask myself, was it worth the time and money? ( yes ,if nothing else for the experience) should I go back and record more songs? ( jury still out on that one)I am heading off to work tomorrow and will post the other songs I recorded in a few days. looking forward to HONEST opinions and input.

Sorry to hear about the annoyance, Bill ...

Do you use a tuner (to keep from tuning too high)? These little clip-on doo-hickies are cheap and work surprisingly well. It'll help you prevent over-tightening, if that's the main source of the breakage.

well I finally went into the recording studio this week for the first time . I go to pick up my CD tomorrow. it was an interesting experience. a couple of the songs I felt like I nailed them on the first try and a couple took a few tries and probably could have done better on but time and money, well I was ok with how they turned out.
as a side note  I can now say I have recorded in the same studio as Willie Nelson and Chris Kristofferson it was pretty cool hearing from Dana the guy that owns the place telling the stories about Willie and Chris when they were recording there.
I will try to get them up on sound cloud in a few days

as for me I don't know if it is wrong or right but there are artist I will change the channel on and a few I make sure I don't spend a penny on there music, even though I may play one of their tunes on occasion. liking there music and giving them my money are two different things in my book any way

Here's my go at The Weight.
I was going to record Wish You Were Here last month but MOJO1 nailed it so well that I decided to let it slide.
I'm going to pass on Jack And Diane...can't fit any harp into it, so far.

good job on the weight, lol but that is a lame excuse for not doing wish you were here

was sitting here back in my room tonight here at work looking at pictures of the new grandbaby and playing around with the guitar and this just kind of came out. Tried to attach a photo of the little cutie not sure if its going to work https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid … amp;type=3

capo third fret
G                                                     C
seems like only yesterday we brought your mama home
G                                               C             
was it over twenty years oh how the time has flown
G                                      C
but time goes on and here you are as pretty as can be
G                                                           C
you wash away my troubles and give life some clarity

chorus
D                                            C                   G
may life always bring you joy and happiness
D                                             C                        G
and I will always love you until my dying breath

your innocence and beauty all rolled into one
the light you bring into my life it out shines the sun
and though I may be miles away your always in my heart
I always think about you when ever were apart

chorus

you put a song in my soul and make my spirits fly
I will always love you bigger than the sky
some day soon the day will come and I just fade away
I only hope that in your heart my memory will stay

chorus

Grats, Mo!!!!  Nice name too!  I did a search on the name and found this:

well not sure what I did wrong the first time this may be repeat

thanks Bill that is  awesome I will pass it on to my daughter and thanks to everyone for the kind words. just a few more days before I go home to meet her

==============================================

Zelie: Secret Botanical Name
Azélie-Marie Guerin was born in 1831 in a tiny French village. She considered religious life, but ultimately married.

She and Louis Martin raised a family, including the future Saint Thérèse of Lisieux. Therese is one of the most well-known and widely admired saints of the modern era. Her writings were published posthumously as Story of a Soul.

Both Monsieur and Madame Martin have been beatified, and will be canonized in October 2015, meaning that the Catholic Church will soon have a Saint Zelie.

Azelie is the French word for Azalea, making Zelie a subtle nature name.

Your Pal,

Bill
