Nice tune, I'm curious how and where you recorded this one, do you have any info about the album??

LOL @ murdering a banjo; you wouldn't be the first, and probably won't be the last. It's not a bad tune, vocals need to come up a bit (banjo's are loud!!), it felt kinda short, to be honest, and I don't think it was as bad as you made it out to be ...

It's interesting when we hear a cover of a song and that's the sound we associate with the song - but you did it really well, really enjoyed the fingerpicking, but wish you were sitting back a bit from your recording device (phone?) so we could see your guitar in the visuals; and also if it was a bit higher, either looking at you, or slightly down towards you. I always find videos harder to do than straight audio as you have to consider the visual elements.

I haven't heard this song before, it sounds quite good, but I hear what you say about it's better for the guitar picking pattern, but doesn't quit suit your voice - have you tried it with a capo to bring your vocals into the subdominant 3rd, (maybe using 2nd fret) or the dominant 5th?

Is this a song you've put up before? I'm sure I've heard it, but i might just have been looking through your soundcloud songs at some stage. Yes, the tempo goes up and down, but the rest of the recording sounds pretty good.

I couldn't hear any problems with your voice, apart from when you tried to reach those high notes, could hear a bit of "Bonnie Raitt" rasp in there, but if you hadn't have mentioned it, I wouldn't be able to tell. But the recording was a bit on the distorted side. It was also strange hearing a NZ accent in the talking part, because I'm not used to it ...

When I did a song writers workshop a while ago, they were talking about the psychological impact of declaring your song bad before you've even started it, and I've become concious that I do that on occasion, I try now not to say anything along those lines (and it's hard sometimes!!) because it affects both yourself and the audience listening ... the song strolled along quite well although there were a couple of fumbles in there ...

I heard some early Dylan in this recording, at first I thought I liked it better than Zurf's version, then I changed my mind, by the end I wasn't sure which I liked better, but it's a pretty good song overall.

I always enjoy your videos Peatle, they are so imaginative with their imagary - we had a day like that today!!!

Sorry that I wasn't able to write as they were released, it's been a busy month for some reason, but I notice that both the quality and quantity of songs for FSOTM is on the up!!

Here is Jim's song: https://youtu.be/MC7IUY6S_7U

I looked long and hard at the Cube's, but even s/h the prices were pretty steep; I managed to get a Roland AC-33 which is battery/mains on Reverb for cheaper than half price.

If you scroll down this page you'll get an indication of 'sold' prices: https://reverb.com/au/p/roland-ac-33-2x … -combo-amp

Leo Sayer - More than I can say.      (tommorow)

Phil Williams - Anyone but me (Whiskey)

Thanks - I started putting it together a few months ago as a result of a friend saying I should put together some details about the work I was doing in the music scene during the 90's; and I also realized I've never put together a 'complete' list of recordings and demo's I worked on.

Thanks - I've also recently found some articles I was writing for music magazines, one was here, searching for a Quadraverb: https://www.cxnetwork.com.au/cx-magazin … gust-1993/

Thanks, I remember having a lot of drive back then, and a bit of luck as well.

Thank you, maybe if it's "notable" enough, it will get approved

Cheers

"To her door" by Paul Kelly; I think it mentions all of the 5 words ...

(children)

(goodbye)

Love isn't directly mentioned, but it's an underlying theme ...

Thanks! Appreciate you listening ...

Thank you - I hadn't thought about it that way ...

I'm running a bit late with my original I was going to write, so whipping out some oldies for this months FSOTM; first up is "Blue Monday" which was a techno song in the 80's, performed acoustically on guitar:

And then we have "Honey Sunday" which was written by the drummer and bass player in this band, it's out of my vocal range and not a great performance all around (I think this was the first song we video'd after a 31 years 'break' between jams):

In fact, here is a video (recorded in 1989!!) of the song when it was first played (the girl does better on vocals, but didn't come to the reunion jam because of work):

Enjoy!!

I've been writing a song which has both days and numbers in it; I'll get a wriggle on and finish it, but tentative title is "Today is the day"; about how we need to change our habits or the world will (essentially) end. I'll finish it off and post it up.

Cheers

Weill, that was pretty funny ... my MIL always reminds me, English talk about weather, Asians talk about food (Segway into sequel!!)

Cheers

Richard     

Nice!! Was tapping my foot along to that one!!
