Had a listen, some good sounds in there. I bet you have lots of fun together performing. Is Ronnie the main vocalist that I could hear? 3 guitarists, 1 drummer and lead singer? Awesome Grah1, must be so much fun.

Lonnie Donegan cover ,Putting on the style
Nicely done Grah1, had me tapping my foot along. Would also love to hear you play another song on this where you do some picking in amongst the strumming to hear how it sounds.
Also, you friend Mike was good at performing, good entertainer.

Re: AUGUST 2022 FSOTM – TOMORROW, FLOWERS, WITHOUT, WHISKEY (46 replies, posted in Featured Song of the Month)
Back from holiday and back to reality, catching up around home and jobs that seem to never end.
neophytte, had a listen to both your recording and Phills. It`s hard to compare them because you both have different styles, vocally and instrumently. I enjoyed them both, it was good to hear the different styles too. I did notice your version had quite a bit of reverb on which also added to a different effect on it. Nice to see an original being performed as well.
TIGLJK, loved how you put all 4 words from this month into your very cleverly written original song, you have such a talent for song writing. I had a listen and it was great to hear you performing your song and how you hear it being played.

Re: How many Uke songs can you play using the same progression almost? (1 replies, posted in Other string instruments)
Grah1, lol yep, there are lots of songs you can play with the 3 same chords on the uke and you have just demonstrated that above lol. I remember years ago, when I was first learning to play the ukulele and a young lady performed for us and she did exactly that. She played and sang one song after another, all into one long assembly of songs joined together. As a beginner to the ukulele, I remember being very impressed with her. I think I still have her list somewhere in one of my books, I will see if I can find it

Hi everyone, awesome to see all these entries this month and for everyone having ago at FSOTM. I am struggling to get online presently as still away on holiday in the South Island and some places such as the Milford Sounds just does not have internet. Anyway, i managed to listen tonight to some, the rest will have to wait until I return to Wellington next week as very limited internet where we are at the moment.
Anyway, Brian, that was your best singing yet, you have definitely been practicing, you performed, sang that one really well. Give yourself a big pat on the back
.
Peatle, it sounded great. You performed it well, I like what you did with it. I would have given you a like but I am using my hubbies acct.
Grah, good to see you have recovered enough to be able to perform in FSOTM. An oldie but a goodie that song. The banjitar suits the song too of course, though like any banjo, it tends to make the vocals a little harder to hear.
With that, will have to listen to the rest when I get home and have decent internet access.

Topic: AUGUST 2022 FSOTM – TOMORROW, FLOWERS, WITHOUT, WHISKEY (46 replies, posted in Featured Song of the Month)
Hi everyone, here we are into another month already.
For the MONTH of AUGUST, looking for any SONG with the following words in the lyrics. These 4 different words are: TOMORROW… FLOWERS …WITHOUT… WHISKEY.
You can perform any song you like, so long as it has at least one of those words somewhere in it.
Some suggestions that have been made by members are:
Neophytte suggested : More than I can say – Leo Sayer
Neophytte also suggested: Anyone but me – Phil Williams
Grah1 suggested: Tomorrow never comes – by Grah1 and the chords can be found in the Suggestions for August Topic.
Zurf suggested: Trampled by Turtles - Ain't No Use in Trying
Zurf suggested: The Wild Rover
Zurf suggested: Whiskey in the Jar - Dubliners first, but Beamer knows Metallica's version.
Zurf suggested Walkin' Cane - by Robert Earl Keen.
Zurf suggested: Whiskey River – Willie Nelson
Zurf also suggested that someone should write a song about "Tomorrow I'll buy flowers and go without whiskey" or vice versa, as the case may be.
Once again, you can perform any of the above suggestions for this month or you can do a song you have found that may not have been suggested. As long as it has one or more of those words in the lyrics and you can perform as many songs as you like.
It can be a COVER, ORIGINAL and or INSTRUMENTAL, you decide. Looking forward to what you all come up with.
READY! SET! GO!

Thanks Neophytte for the comments on my songs. Yes the first one was one I played a few years ago now, I was showing re-showing it as it was one Zurf had done too. The 2nd song agree with your comments.
Neo I enjoyed your 2 songs, particularly the one with your son who played along side of you on piano, it sounded great having him accompany you. Nicely done and performed well.

Re: JULY 2022 FSOTM – DOOR, CHILD, GOODBYE, RAIN, LOVE (50 replies, posted in Featured Song of the Month)
Peatle, thoroughly enjoyed that, you nailed it. The video footage you showed exactly how its been here. The rain has been unbelievable this year! Non stop and as I am writing the rain has started yet again. I have had it enough of it but like you said in the your song depicting the weather down under, I do enjoy being snug as a bug in my house with warm heaters and a nice cosy feel about the place. Makes me thankful that I am cosy and comfortable. Peatle its wonderful to see you back participating on here ![]()
