easybeat, nothing wrong with the reverb and nothing wrong with the recordings. I just think as your voice is reasonably quiet, you probably need to either increase the recording volume on the vocals or decrease the instrumental recording so it doesn't override your vocals. Hope that makes sense.

Grah1,
Very catchy, nicely done once again 
easybeat,
haven't heard you play banjo in a long time, good to see you mixing it up. This one bounced along nicely with the banjo. I still at times struggle to hear the lyrics, just wondered if you turned the vocals up when recording so your voice is above the instrument would help. Also, can you re-enter the other song you put up in Suggestions too

Topic: JULY 2022 FSOTM – DOOR, CHILD, GOODBYE, RAIN, LOVE (50 replies, posted in Featured Song of the Month)
Hi everyone, here we are already well over halfway through the year! Time is going way to fast it seems.
For the month of JULY, looking for any SONG with the following words in the lyrics. These 5 different words are: DOOR … CHILD …GOODBYE … RAIN … LOVE.
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:
* Early Morning Rain – by Gordon Lightfoot
* Don`t Think Twice, It`s Alright – by Bob Dylan
* To Her Door – by Paul Kelly
* The Door (Mamma`s Song) – by Jim Kenyon (our very own Chordie member TIGLJK). The lyrics and chords to this song can be found in the SUGGESTIONS for JULY Topic.
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 neo, yep reckon that fits the categories, I will have to go find it and have a listen.
TIGLJK, awesome, you have nailed it with this song (covers all the categories too) but I really like the song as well. I will definitely give it ago, hopefully I can come up with something.

Thanks so much Peatle and TIGLJK for the great feedback, it was a new style for me to try and I enjoyed learning it Yes TIGLJK I agree, I hope one of these days Brian, Peatle and myself get to have a jam together, we did some years ago
Sorry for the late response been laid low with coughs and sniffles.

Re: Catch Up (13 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Awww that was touching Peatle, thankyou, made my day reading that
neophytte and Phill, yep hard when there's no other Chordians near you to catch up with. Still its nice some of you manage to email and keep in touch via other social media so at least that is something. I remember the days when mekidsmom used to host an annual event for the Americans that could make it. That looked like lots of fun.

Re: JUNE 2022 FSOTM – A DAY OF THE WEEK AND OR NUMBERS (18 replies, posted in Featured Song of the Month)
neophytte, your first song, Blue Monday, sounded good, nicely put together with the reverb, made it affective.
Your second and third song Honey Sunday. In both cases the sound quality wasn't the best (and I can understand why because of the time period when equipment isn't what it is today). The drum in both videos became the focus because of the loudness. And agree with you, the young girls performance was better in the 3rd video. But I enjoyed seeing a young enthusiatic group of people getting together and jamming, having fun which is what music is all about.

Topic: Catch Up (13 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Hi everyone, seems to be a bit on the quiet side in here lately, so thought I would drop in and say howdy to you all. Had a nice catch up with easybeat aka Brian today for coffee and a bite to eat at a nice café. We of course chatted about Chordie, music in general and what we have been doing lately, (though I realized afterwards I actually hadn't filled easybeat on much I had been doing) as we got focused on music and book writing and people we knew or hadn't seen in awhile. Anyways, it was great to catch up, see the face behind the music and in Brian's case poems and published author of a book! We had hoped Peatle could have joined us today being the only 3 active Kiwi`s on Chordie but not to be today as it turned out, hopefully next time Pete
Anyway, enough from me, but thought I would pop in and say Howdy, hope some of you get to catch up with each other and put a face to that name on Chordie

Re: JUNE 2022 FSOTM – A DAY OF THE WEEK AND OR NUMBERS (18 replies, posted in Featured Song of the Month)
Wow Zurf your on a roll! Love it
So that first song you did the numbers song, I have to admit, I have never heard it before, so I will make sure to go have a listen to the original. But you did some awesome guitar work in there on that one, must have taken you a while to learn it? Very impressive guitar work.
The second and third songs, both songs I love and remember well.
The Second song suited you vocally and you played it well, had me singing along and tapping my feet. I could quite easily have danced along to that one. It is one I covered (or tried to cover) about 5 yrs ago for Chordie FSOTM but certainly didn't play it well like you do. https://soundcloud.com/ukulelejan/sunda … ming-down.
Finally your third song, laughs and giggles aside, you played it well, especially from memory if you haven't played it in a long time. With a bit more practice you would totally nail it. I love the sound of this one on guitar, there is something about the chord progression that is really appealing how it sounds. If I could even play it like you did, I would be very impressed with myself.

Re: My heart still cries (9 replies, posted in Songwriting)
ctech, well written, performed really well musically as well. A touching song, of heartbreak and broken relationships and the hurt along with it.
