Sorry I have been away on holiday for the last month, so haven't had a chance to participate this time.

Nicely done Richard, I liked the drums with it.   What are you using on this one to get the effect?

Love, love it.  Your writing skills are amazing, and you should be picked up by some famous person to sing your songs.  The AI is making all your songs come to life which is exactly what you need as a song writer.  The AI lets us the listener hear how you the song writer want your songs to sound and be performed.

Cheers Richard, thanks for having a listen.  You picked a nice setting to perform Valarie and the sound was also good on it.

Grah, good music and interesting to watch the places where you and your band entertain I also like your choice of songs to cover.

Brian, Vulli who owns Muffin Break  in Jville would love what you have done with your song about Muffin's.

Jan,  look forward to hearing some more of your music when you get back into playing and singing it also good the way you support Chordie .

Thanks Peatle, your always very kind.  Feeling a bit rusty and out of touch with performing these days.  I haven't really played that much since the covid era crap when every thing shut down and groups didn't get together much anymore etc.  I dont tend to play as much as I used too, probably not motivated on my own as much.   I probably should join some groups again to get myself motivated.
