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.

Here we are in DECEMBER already.  2022 is nearly gone and it always feels like a time of reflection before the New Year hits us.  Also, a busy time for everyone getting ready for Christmas and holidays.

For this MONTH`S FSOTM, anything goes as you can see by the title above. 

1.    Any CHRISTMAS SONG

2.    Any Song about SNOW, WINTER

3.   Any Song about the BEACH, SUN

4.   We have 2 ORIGINAL SONGS entered by Chordie members Grah1 called XMAS CAROL and Neophytte  has one called STORM.
They would love anyone to cover their songs, so give it a try.  NOTE: their original songs and chords can be found on the SUGGESTIONS TOPIC for this month.  https://www.chordie.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=38625

5.  Another suggestion to cover was HOW TO MAKE GRAVY by Paul Kelly


As usual, it can be an Original, a Cover or an Instrumental.  Let’s see what you can all come up with. 

READY ... SET ... GO!!!

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.

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

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.

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.

https://soundcloud.com/ukulelejan/have- … n-the-rain

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
