READY ... SET ... GO

Hi everyone, sorry for the delay as away on holiday.  Sadly, I didn't get time to enter a song for December as it was a ridiculously busy month for us and then Christmas was here and the holidays before I knew it.  Anyway, here are some old ones I did a few years ago for Christmas which I will use as my entry.

neophytte, thats a lovely Christmas song an old favorite for many people.  Merry Christmas to you too smile     

Great, thanks TIGJLK for suggestions smile     

Any suggestions people? smile     

As for me, I am struggling to find time to even record anything at the moment.     

Tigljk, such a great song, you should be very proud of that one.  And how awesome to have such talent performing it for you.

Another nice original song by you Tigljk.  This one is lovely with all the thoughtfulness and thankfulness within the lyrics.     

Any suggestions?

I have one that I am thinking about doing which is Something in the Water by Brooke Fraser but covered by the Wellington Ukulele sympathy orchestra which I quite like.     

easybeat, you're too hard on yourself, your entry made me smile when I listened to it.  I don't think you left it up long enough for people to hear it. 

Tigljk, another great bit of writing skills there on your song Give me Christmas.  You just keep on coming up with them, don't know how you do it.  I had a listen on Sound Cloud, and I liked where you were going with this one and the beat to it. 

mojo, great to see you back here after being away so long, thanks for entering a song for us this month.  Great cover, I hadn't heard that song before, so I went to Robert Earl Keen and listened to it and then listened to your cover and you covered it really well, suited your voice.

Here is my version of Grah1's Xmas carol:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rm6c9tsDFuY

It was quickly recorded between dropping off wife at shops and making kids lunch, so I fluffed up the mid8 that goes back to the verse turn around ... I probably had enough time to re-record it in hindsight, but this is first take, warts 'n' all ...

Enjoy!

Richard

Richard, that was well done, really good cover of Grah`s song.  I couldn't hear any fluffed-up bits, you did it proud.     

TIGLJK, brilliant piece of writing again.  I hope I get a chance to attempt this one for you.  It's just going to be a time thing for me, trying to fit it in.     

Brian, I went to have another listen and it's gone from sound cloud, did you remove your entry?

Well done Brian, definately story telling time lol.  Your first off, the bat again smile  Hey, you will have to repost your entry though into the appropriate Topic which I haven't put up yet, I will be putting it up tomorrow as this is only for suggestions and I will be closing this one off.     

Nice one neophytte, hope to hear this one covered too.     

neophytte, great to see you performing with a fellow musician.  Great to hear an original song, Driving Rain too and you performed well together.  I liked the backup vocals you added to his song.   

Also, your other song, swinging on a star an oldie but a goodie, I haven't heard that in a very long time.

Enjoy!

Nice cover of a good old song.  On a side note, the balance was good with vocals and guitar on this one, you got it just right.

You sing this song with a ton of attitude. Very enjoyable and great to hear you sing and play again, you got the uke/voice mix perfect. You may not believe this but I've only recently heard this song for the first time? Well done.

Thanks, Phill, for taking a listen and comments.    Oh wow, amazed you hadn't heard this song until recently, an oldie but a goodie smile
