That's really well done, Neo ... you've got a great flowing guitar style and really good voice. For what it's worth, you probably didn't need as much reverb on the vocals. I loved your "No whistling" comment ... good stuff, buddy!
Thank you.
I'm using a single mic to pick everything up, so the reverb for the guitar is also the reverb for the vocals. Sometimes I get a good balance and sometimes not ... still experimenting 
Cheers

Ian Anderson (Jethro Tull) once said something to the effect, that if he was ever complimented for having written a first-rate pop song, he'd consider it both an insult and a wake up call.

Re: Fade to grey (cover) (2 replies, posted in My local band and me)
Thanks - it's interesting to strip down the "synth pop" songs of the 80's and see how they hold up; unfortunately I can't do the french vocal bits, as it was kind of the highlight of the song ....
But glad you liked it!!

Re: Almost with you - cover (2 replies, posted in My local band and me)
Phill Williams wrote:
very good richard, must admit I've never heard it before, who is it by?
It's by "The Church", an Australian psychedelic rock band formed in Sydney in 1980. When I was looking through their Wiki profile I noticed they didn't have a very high profile in the US - yet they have some timeless songs; search for their album called "The Best Of The Radio Songs 2010" for an aural treat ....

Yup, that there's a cool looking bass ... and probably a LOT lighter than my ThunderBird. I honestly didn't know Hohner made head-less guitars, and they clearly paid a fair bit of attention to this one, with the various electronics upgrades. A very cool instrument!
Here's a FB photo of me playing it in the 90's:
