Hi Diana, welcome to Chordie, lovely to see another lady join us on here

Here is my cover of Captain Kennedy by Neil Young.
I ended up singing it alot faster than the original version by Neil Young, simply because I couldn`t even begin to play it like Neil does let alone sing it like him.  I hunted high and low to find the fantastic tabbing/ picking he uses for the intro and outro and in fact through out the song but to no avail.  So after singing it in various styles, including in a slow haunting style which I liked, I realised without the awesome tabbing Neil does, it just didn't sound right with the strum I was using..... so decided to make it my own version and faster ................ AND still learning guitar.

Well written TF. 
The  Media and its information or misinformation these days really provides speakers, writers, poets, songwriters a full menu of choice morsels to choose from ........... handed  to us on a platter it seems ..... for those so inclined to speak, sing and write.

landav5 thanks for the suggestion and great to see you join in here    Just in case your interested, this month of June which if you look in FSOTM for June, we are doing covers of songs such as this about Captains etc.  If your into doing covers, we would love to hear you do a cover of this song in that thread

As I told you already, you did a great job of this song easybeat, well done, you nailed it all by yourself Definitely a jazzy sound.

Yep I offered to do one of your jazz songs for you but just to clarify,  you will need to write the lyrics out and send me the chords and even better if it you send a recording of you playing just the guitar so I can sing to it.   So you won`t be able to do a one off this time   you will need to actually write the chords and lyrics down (now from what you told me already, that will be a challenge in a half lol )    lol

And no worries, I find it a challenge and half even writing a song full stop!!!

Thanks for looking for me TF I appreciate that.  At this stage looks like I will have to just play it without the nice fancy bits.

I have only ever had the privilege to perform publicly in the last 3-4 years in a small group of ladies who all play ukulele and we perform once a month in rest homes.   We also do a little bit of busking in the summertime when the cruise ships come in, to raise money to buy  ukulele`s for children.  It is nice to play for the elderly and we enjoy it.
I have only ever once performed  at a gig (with the same group but back then we had a much bigger group with a couple of guys in it) and we performed at a 50th birthday gig and it was such fun, loved it.  We did all the old songs that everyone knows the words to and it was a blast.  We had them all up dancing.   I wish I had discovered the fun of singing in groups or bands when I was younger. 

TF I wouldn't let some ignorant jerk put you off performing ........... you have a gift, use it, for yourself and for others

(Edited to add a bracket in  and to add "at a gig" - Jandle)

Nice one easybeat.  I left a comment on Soundcloud.  Very different to your other stuff, a mixture of Latin and Jazz.  I like it, well done to you

That was great, what beaut car!

mojo ............. great once again, you had me tapping my foot and singing along with you.  Van Morrison is a favourite of my husbands in this household...... I think he has every CD there is of Vans.
PS I love his music too
