Anything goes month, so anything goes!!! We had an extensive list of suggestions over in the suggestions topic, you can do any of those, or anything you desire.
I'm personally looking forward to @Grah1 doing "Another girl, another planet", but you can do anything ... so tighten those strings back into tune, give a burst of air to your tuning pipes, and let's get cracking:
Ready, set ... GO!!
Good tune - I understand your sentiment, but disagree with the line "firing a bullet is a sin", as my brother has a farm in the rural areas; sometimes a shot gets fired to scare the foxes away ... anyway, dropped you a like on YouTube!
Cheers
Richard
Bit quiet with entries this month anyone else got one of their performances to share?

Richard

Cheers
Richard

neophytte, Tiny Dancer, nicely done, good performance by you, so well done.
The other song "Love will tear us apart", I hadn't heard of before, so I went and had a look at the original song as well.
Thanks for listening in!
Cheers

Because I'm feeling lazy, I'm going to open October 2025 up to anything you would like, please feel free to suggest ... ANYTHING!!
II's the first day os Spring here in the southern hemisphere, and possibly the first day of Autumn in the north, and e are looking for entries related to Pop Music; whenever I hear that phrase, my head goes back to that big record with the "M" on that says "everybody loves Pop music" ...
Examples of POP artists would be, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Elton John, The Beatles, Bing Crosby to name but a few.
So, feel free to post your POP song or write an original POP song.
READY, SET, GO!!!
Rocks along nicely
Thanks! Next recording session we hope to have a dummer and bass player join us ....
Cheers

Thanks! I'm writing a song around it ... but haven't got all the lyrics down yet ... content for a blues song has (pretty much) all been done before!!
Cheers
Richard
Kinda finished that song:

Well done Richard, Jazz is hard to play (well at least for me). Great how you did both parts. Congrats for being first to post on here this month. On a different note, that wee child falling over on the rocks, ouchies.
Thanks ... this was a song that my guitar teacher taught me many years ago and I've kept going as it's a good tune to "play jazz" with ...
Hard to believe that kid falling over is starting high school in a few months!!

Blue Bossa, a jazz standard:

I recorded the first part near the waterfall at Araluen, then did the lead on the red guitar at home ...

That sounds like it was a fun tune to write!! Sorry I missed your reply before ...

Here are my very late entries and probably first entries in over a year. I will check SoundCloud myself actually to see when I last put anything up. Anyway, what I am realizing is, "Use it or Lose it". That goes for anything including anything musical, instruments, singing. I am quite surprised how the vocals slacken, and the strum become just that, strum, strum, strum if you don't keep practicing or playing.
https://soundcloud.com/ukulelejan/my-elusive-dreams # country
https://soundcloud.com/ukulelejan/littl … rinking-me #country/pop
Yes, I've discovered that too - practice is key to sounding half decent ... anyway, they were two good songs!!
Cheers
Richard
The banjo gave it a completely different effect Richard, nice to see something different with a well known song.
Thanks - it was a while ago ... !!
That was really good Richard, this version was great. I think whenever we have accompanying musicians play with us, our performances go way up, simply because the other instruments make a big difference. Awesome.
PS: On a completely unrelated topic, I like the decor in his house, I kept staring at it, very nice. Loved the sign with the names on it, like road signs.
Thanks - I'll give him the feedback, I'm sure his wife will be pleased!!

Roland Street Cube or AC33 are two good amps, you can sometimes get the AC33 for a bargain price ... https://reverb.com/p/roland-ac-33-2x5-a … -combo-amp
Cheers
Richard
You may have the wrong amp for the job; the Roland Cube-80 is a guitar only amp, which you'll need a mixer to get the signal to, but you also effectively loose your effects for the guitar (or, more correctly, the effects are applied to voice and guitar). You may want to look into something like the street cube, which has separate inputs for mic and instrument.
The one I use is a Behringer with a 5" speaker, you can see it to the left in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqudYS90KpI

I did this, a normally coutry/folkie song in a different style:
Hope it qualifies!!
Better version is now here as a duo:

Honestly, that was the performance of all the ones you've posted, that I have enjoyed the most !
Awesome !!!! Thank you for sharing - the banjo just added to it!
Thanks!
Richard
I also did this one a few years ago on banjo:

Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong
A very different version of Waltzing Matilda Richard lol but I enjoyed it, well done. I never thought of it as a Country song to be honest. So, I looked it up and apparently it`s a Bush Ballard / or some say Folk music. It`s definitely an unofficial national anthem for the Aussies
Yer, I guess I think of Bush Ballads as somewhat Australian country roots ... done on traditional instruments that were imported from everywhere ... 
A very different version of Waltzing Matilda Richard
Yes, this was from a conversation I was having with Al, and he wanted to do it like another Perth band did, but it was very slow and sullen - I've sped it up as it's a song about stealing, treachery and death (I don't think it should be the National anthem, LOL) - just a different take on it, for a bit of fun.
Anyway, it's been freezing cold here, so I haven't been sitting outside to do songs, and this was the closest I had to an entry ...
Cheers
Richard
