Re: What do you take to a gig? (5 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I haven't gigged in a while, but I always made sure I had a soldering iron on hand ...
These days I'd take my iPad and iPad stand, as I've moved most of my songs on there (thanks Chordie!!)

Re: APRIL 2018 FSOTM - COLORS - INSTRUMENTAL (53 replies, posted in Featured Song of the Month)
I forgot I recorded this ... the instrumental "Blue Bossa", which is kinda like some noodling on guitar, added the lead bits in today with my old Jazz guitar. It's a bit scrappy (my lead is way out of practice!!!), but hopefully sounds ok:

I thought I'd commented on these first ones a while ago, but seems my comments went missing ...
I named it Movin' On.

I love it - Scott really makes it flow, his playing style reminds me of a guy I used to jam with ... there's a bit that reminds me of the Cat Stevens song (think it was from Peace Train??)
Good to see you joining in - hope to hear more!!
I did this instrumental a while back based on the "House of the rising sun"
Nice, I like the way you've arranged this, and the organ (?) in the background sounds very etheral
Good to see you joining in - hope to hear more!!
Great offerings from Joe, Tony and Richard. Are they your youngsters in the background, Richard?

I've never heard "Black is the colour" before, you did a great version of it!!!
"Going home" was pretty good too, but you've got a good voice and should do more vocal songs!!!!

I have been away for a few days and catching up. We have some amazing talent. Jandle really good and enjoyed yours and listened twice.
Thanks for the feedback; hope you can add some of your recordings to the mix (next month has been nominated to have some instrumentals, so if you did the recording of "Dueling Banjos", it's the perfect time to link to it ...)
Thanks neo and CG for having a listen and your comments appreciate it
CG so great to see you join in here as well, thanks and hope to see more of you in here
It's always a pleasure to listen to your tunes - hoping you drag out the electric, when time permits ...
Cheers
