TIGLJK, because I am only just putting up this Month of June FSOTM which is Rock now that it is actually June.  That was Suggestions and Discussion topic ready for this month which is June now.  Also, because Chordie has been down and not working properly, I couldn't add the new ones on until today.     

neophytte, you performed that well, a good cover.  I always look forward to what you are going to add into your videos, e.g. this time a candle, it makes it interesting to see what you are going to do smile  I like this song, the Eurythmics put out some great songs and Annie has amazing vocals.  I looked up the genre of this song, it says Electric Pop, but I guess it's up to the musician and listener to what category or how they play it to what genre it is smile

Thanks, neo, that's what my husband thought it was too after I told him about it.

Really good cover Grah1, you performed it well.  Only comment I would make was your vocals needed to be louder or maybe a microphone needed as the guitalele was louder than your vocals.     

easybeat, the guitar playing was flawless.  Vocally it sounded the same all the way through, I wonder if you had mixed it up with a chorus or bridge in amongst it to make it a bit more interesting vocally.

Hi Grah1, I am having the same problem.  Keeps saying Chordie is not secure.     

neophytte, another one I hadn't heard of before.   A bit different for sure, can't say I loved it or disliked it.  But good to hear new stuff.     

Grah1, good cover by your and the band.  I am not particularly a fan of Black Sabbath, but you guys did it well.

You covered and performed this one well Grah1, you did Brian proud.  Great to see members covering and collaborating with each other's songs.     

Ok, so here we are into MAY already!

Looking forward to hearing them.

Thanks for sharing TIGLJK, good to see these songs where actually performed in the end.  Enjoyed listening to both.     

Both are really good TIGLJK, I hadn't seen these ones before but have watched other similar ones in the past.  Love i t when musicians from all over the world with different instruments perform like this smile     

Grah1, it certainly gives it a really good sound.     

Such a fun old song, brought back memories.  Well done.     

TIGLJK, really good lyrics.  Love that line "no turning back, walking that last mile" and "truth and lies walking side by side", "love don't live where secrets hide", really good lines.   I had a listen as well, make sure to put the link to it here as well from SoundCloud.  Well done.

Nicely performed neophytte, you definitely have the Blues touch, a natural.  Extra special as written by yourself and the harmonica a bonus.  I liked this one.     

TIGLJK, just another comment on Earles performance, I went on and listened to heaps of his music last night and really like his style and stuff.  What a talented guy, all the sadder to hear he is now gone from this world.  He was pretty open about his drug and drink issues, laughing it off at times, talked about the cost of the drugs, cocaine he was on etc  Made me feel really sad, but wow an amazing talented guy.     

easybeat, good attempt at Blues, it also sounded a little bit jazzy in places, well at least to my ear with the guitar.  Love the whole guitar playing once again.  The vocals, sorry to say didn't quite sound Blues to me, maybe not the right style for you, but then, who am I to say, just think I have heard other vocal styles that suit you better.  Blues is hard to sing, hence I haven't tried them myself, I don't think I even could sing Blues if I tried.  Come to think of it, I can`t play Blues either.  I have been trying the basics on ukulele and oh my gosh, talk about slow and painful lol.  I am trying not to strum them and to pick the strings instead, don`t think I am patient enough, so all that to say, you have totally outdone me in all areas, so kudos to you.     

Grah1, good performance, I didn't know that song though I must admit.  Maybe because I am not a punk rock fan, thought this one says its folk, punk.   I checked it out online after listening to your cover.  One another note, as I am not really a guitarist, what is the white thing in the middle of your guitar over the hole part of the guitar?  I noticed that Justin Townes Earle (who TIGLJK) introduced to me this month in Blues, has one on his guitar too.

TIGLJK, I hadn`t heard of him before nor this song, but WOW, that was great.  One I have downloaded to and will listen to again and again.  How sad, so young, RIP sad
