Anymore Jazz entries?  I am away presently so most likely won`t get to record anything this month.     

Well done Richard, Jazz is hard to play (well at least for me).  Great how you did both parts.  Congrats for being first to post on here this month.  On a different note, that wee child falling over on the rocks, ouchies.     

Thanks, Jim, aww such the lovely comments. 

The song My Elusive Dreams is a cover I did.   It was written by Billy Sherrill and Curly Putman and performed as a duo by Tammy Wynette and David Houston.  Others like Nancy Sinatra have done it too.  Here is a link https://www.bing.com/videos/riverview/r … ORM=VAMGZC

Yes, I remember Dean Martin performing this song, he was great at it.   I always liked Dean Martin.     

Grah1, thanks for the comments.  Yes, it is an electric ukulele, and I may have had my settings a bit wrong if it sounded distorted, I am very much out of practice with everything.  I do have an old ukulele, just a cheapy with a Low G string, I don`t tend to use that uke much though as I prefer my Ibanez one which is this electric one.  Having said that, I will grab the one with the low G string on it and give it another go and see if I prefer the sound.

Good demo you did on your uke by the way with the low G string.     

Really good TIGLJK, thanks for sharing.  Gosh a very young Louis Armstrong in that one.     

Will put up the new threads tomorrow everyone, sorry been away the weekend so running late.

Here are my very late entries and probably first entries in over a year.  I will check SoundCloud myself actually to see when I last put anything up.  Anyway, what I am realizing is, "Use it or Lose it".  That goes for anything including anything musical, instruments, singing.   I am quite surprised how the vocals slacken, and the strum become just that, strum, strum, strum if you don't keep practicing or playing.

The banjo gave it a completely different effect Richard, nice to see something different with a well known song.     

Also take tumeric in vege capsules every day.     

He certainly was a character as is Sharon his wife.     

I like Louis Armstrongs Jazz stuff and I like Amy Winehouse jazz style though she did cross into other genres as well.  I like some jazz but I find a lot of it just to slow for me.     

Good message in this song, getting back to nature sounds good to me.  Nice one dbernhar.
