TF ...  thanks so much and sorry for my late reply, I have been away on holiday smile     

Will be putting this up tomorrow hopefully, sorry everyone for the lateness ...... I have been away on holiday.     

Oh oops yes neo lol yikes     

On that note everyone, sorry the next months FSOTM (which is now this month) is running a bit late as I have been away, so I will do my very best to post it tomorrow afternoon.  Apoligees for the lateness of it.     

Ok back from holiday, so having a catch up tonight.

neo ........... managed to get on tonight to listen, must have been a clinch somewhere in the system when I tried last time.  Ditto to what Peatle said, you give everything ago which in itself is great.  I thought of the two covers Crazy was the better.  I liked the the way you strummed it too.  The other song You and Me you covered seemed a lot harder as the vocals were a lot deeper in the chord you were singing it in.  A hard song to sing I think, so points for having a go at it smile

Roger.......... no worries, totally understand what busy is ..... it's been crazy busy here for the last 6 weeks here for me too.  Just when you get time, put it up as we would love to hear it  smile

As for your challenge to me for These Boots neo, I just haven't had time but I will attempt it at some stage when I have caught up with stuff here at home and post it smile     

Peatle ....... thank you for comments.  Yes I liked the harmony effect with this song too, but I am disappointed with my guitar playing.  Maybe when I get back I can try again on the guitar.

neophytte ......... thanks for having a listen and feedback.     

neo ... I will have a listen to these on the weekend, I am tied up busy the next few days, but at least the link is working now.

jets60, well written, enjoyed listening to it very much.     

It Takes Two - TIGLJK

This is a beautiful song written by TIGLJK.   I loved the lyrics and the songs heart. I just had to attempt covering it. Though I am not the best guitar player and still learning, this is my attempt at recording it.

CG ....... fantastic, really enjoyed listening to it, you have a real talent.  Think this is the first time I have heard you play or present something, wonderful, glad you have joined in smile

Jim, you have done it again!  You really do have a gift for writing, you make it look easy (but it`s not, well at least not for me).  Anyway, love it! Thank you also for the lovely tribute in the song about the garden for my dad and myself, that was such a lovely thing to do, wow thank you  smile
