Baldguitardude ............. after listening to the other Sandman song by Metallica , I realised I had heard it before, just didn't know that was the name of it lol.  And believe it or not, years ago (and I am talking years ago) I learnt to play some of that on guitar but never knew the words, only the instrumental ......I wouldn't even remember how to play it now a days lol.

Baldguitardude .......... thanks for the feedback.  It a fun song and that I like doing ............ have to say I don`t know the other song your talking about but I will google it now and have a listen.

Strummerboy Bill .............Thanks for the comments too.  How awesome for you, playing with Piccolo ........ is that where your drumming interest first came from?  That would have been a lot of fun and great experience.  Yes I can imagine, you would be great at the deep vocals with YES  smile

Brillant Peatle, you nailed it with this song.  Liked the lyrics, liked the blues and vocals, and guitar work suited it.  Nicely put together with the visual on You Tube as well.  Well done Peatle all round smile

Ok thanks neo smile     

Gosh no suggestions from anyone yet?

Here are a few suggestions from me:
Country ..... Friends in Low Places (Garth Brooks)
Folk ......   Blowin' in the Wind (Bob Dylan)
Blues/Swing ..... Summertime (George Gershwin)
Pop ..... Cupid (Sam Cooke song)  -  [critic Bill Janovitz described the track as a "perfect pop song" which combines "Latin, R&B, jazz, and mainstream pop elements]
Reggae .... No Woman No Cry (Bob Marley)
Soul .... Stand By Me ( Ben E King)   
Rock .... I Should`ve Known Better (The Beatles)

(edited by Jandle to add the Rock song)

Looking forward to hearing you Bill, think it will be the first time smile     

hey neo both those links you put up don`t work.     

neo ....... thanks for comments, I think I probably could have done with some distortion on this one as I failed to make it jazzy lol.  Oh well, can`t win them all smile  Challenge accepted re   these ~Boots are made for walking~ IF I can get time this weekend as looking after my 2 yr old grandson is keeping me full on presently.

Peatle .... thanks for your comments.  Yes I agree with you, it easier to try and sing jazz with someone else playing the instruments and then you can just concentrate on singing jazz.  Both singing it and playing jazz are new to me ............ I have a long way to go learning to do it properly I think.  Yes I think your right, it sounds more folky smile

Thanks neo, I had fun playing this one smile     

Ok here is my entry that easybeat challenged me too.  I had a  bit of free time tonight to learn it,  practice it a little bit and record it.  Actually easybeat, when I listened to Frank Sinatra singing it, I didn't know the song at all really, it was not what I was thinking it was.  Anyway, I had to do it tonight or not at all as I am babysitting my 2 yr old grandson for 3 weeks and today and tonight was my only child free day to do anything this month.  Also, I have never really tried to play Jazz before, that in itself will take me a while to learn how to play properly.  So I am not sure it sounds very Jazzy to be honest, and the vocals aren't the best in places as I am not that familiar with this song.  It is another song that I wouldn`t mind having another go at but I had to stop, it was getting late and the neighbours probably aren't impressed!

Well I am having a busy 3 weeks babysitting my 2 yr old grandson whilst his parents are overseas on holiday.  Today I have a child free day as he has gone to the other grandparents for an overnight stay, which gave me a nice little break.   
So putting up this little number, an oldie but goodie.
