neophytte, nice vocals from Lesley and nice guitar work from you.   Thanks for the comment on my song and yes as I mentioned under my reply to Jets60, I had recorded this song b4 on garage band which I had totally forgotten about.

Hi Phill, this needs to go into the FSOTM November thread, not as a separate topic and thread.  Will be trying to move it if I can, hopefully it doesn't get lost.     

Good one Grah1.  Doesn't help that farmers are being targeted by govts worldwide, stinks of an agenda, I`ll leave it at that so as not to get political on here hmm smile

Here`s my very quick attempt tonight to cover a song for the month.   Finding it a bit difficult to record anything let alone play/sing anything at the moment as we are renovating and the room I play in and record in is fill of furniture.  A bit of a mission to set up the recording gear.  Very rusty as haven't been playing or singing much lately.

Loved that Jan. I detected no rust. Your uke was jamming and your voice was sweet and lovely!

Thanks jets60 for having a listen and your comments.   It will be nice to have all the furniture out of this room so I can setup properly but I`m not complaining, glad renovations are happening smile

So, I realized that I have already recorded this song for FSOTM  3 months ago duh, totally forgotten I had, only difference was I recorded it on Garage band to try it out https://soundcloud.com/ukulelejan/my-so … e-you-seen

Peatle, I hope your able to get your hands sorted soon, must be quite annoying for you not to be able to play guitar and piano.  As easybeat said, at least you can still write songs and poetry which I know your good at and enjoy smile

Jets60, nicely performed and written, well done.  Your another one on here that song writing seems to just flow out of you.  Enjoyed it.  I could listen on Soundcloud but your other link,  studio, you tube,  didn't work, open for me, so could view it.

Thanks, Jan and Sorry about that - you can hear it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPy_iuxuVLY

The other link, that I originally posted, is just where only I can edit. Again, so sorry. This video is from the night I initially wrote in a songwriting contest a couple of years ago, where I had to write 5 songs in 5 days with different writing directions each day. Anyway, I normally post recordings but here you can actually see me performing this one for a change.

Jets60, it works now, yay smile So good to see your face while you're singing the song.  Once again, a great song by you smile

Phill, that was great, really enjoyed it, found myself singing along with you big_smile .  Great to hear you performing again and hope we hear more from you in the future smile  PS:  If you get a chance, can you flick this into FSOTM thread for November, just so makes it easy to follow the links when I put them up in the monthly submissions.  Cheers.

TIGLJK I commented on this already on FSOTM but nicely done.  I am always confused about the ~bridge~ thing too.

Nicely done Jets60, definitely can see this being sung by a cowboy around a campfire.  I reckon it would also have suited a whistle in the interval part smile

Excellent piece of writing Grah1, I think one of your best yet smile

TIGLJK, what another great song, I don't know how you manage to keep them coming but you do.  Second entry to boot, awesome.  I like the lyrics on this, great stuff.  Will you be recording it?

Here is my short contribution for this month song as my arthritic fingers struggle to move when I play guitar nowadays. Just poorly recorded on my cellphone but hopefully it entertains.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWr-E3-1rxQ

Peatle, I was memorized watching you pick away at the guitar, I always notice guitar players and how they play, guess because I am not very good on the guitar.  You plucked away at it like an expert.  Anyway, a short song but to the point.  Great to see you entering smile  PS:  I am not the best at drinking water, drink too much tea and coffee

Well, here we are, looking at DECEMBER already!  So, this month being a festive time of year and holiday season, looking for SUGGESTIONS for any CHRISTMAS SONG, CAROL that you would like to enter for people to COVER or write an ORIGINAL for.

In addition to CHRISTMAS SONGS and CAROLS, looking for songs with the words SNOW… WINTER … SUN … BEACH in them.   With us all being on different sides of the globe, we all have different seasons to each other.  Northern hemisphere is WINTER and SNOW in some places, Southern hemisphere (down under) is SUMMERTIME and for many people the BEACH.

So, put your suggestions down for CHRISTMAS SONGS, CAROLS and for the words SNOW … WINTER … SUN … BEACH.
 
Remember ORIGINAL SONGS can be entered as well as SUGGESTIONS for COVERS.

READY!   SET!   GO!

OK, here we are in NOVEMBER already!  This month we are looking for SONGS that have ANYTHING TO DO WITH WATER.

Some suggestions were:
WATER
RIVER
LAKE
STREAM
POND
SEA
OCEAN
RAIN
DRIP
DROP
FLOOD
MIST
SPRINKLE
SHORE

Any other WORDS you can think of to do with WATER that may not be written above, feel free to add or use in your song.

Once again, ORIGINALS, COVERS, INSTRUMENTALS can be entered. 
Looking forward to what you all come up with this month.

READY!   SET!   GO!

neophytte, Drivers Seat, I hadn't heard of that song before so can't compare it, but it sounded good when you performed it smile     

PS: you can always add late songs to FSOTM if you want, that's why each month is never closed off, so it doesn't really matter if you add a song in late smile

Another good song Jeff, you seem to just keep them flowing.  Nice one, thumbs up from me smile     

As for me, I just didn't get the time this month to put a song together, so a first for me not entering a song.  Hopefully next month I am a bit more successful time wise to put something together.     

Jim, that was good and great to hear how it went.  It definitely made me smile and again your writing skills are awesome smile
