Re: MAY 2018 FSOTM - LIGHT (26 replies, posted in Featured Song of the Month)
Neo .... I am seeing double
"That`s entertainment" a song once again I don`t know personally but I never listened to punk type music much anyway. So I popped on to listen to the original and you did a good job of covering it.
Your song "All`s not fair in Love and War", that`s so well written. You seem to have a talent for writing songs. Great lyrics ![]()

easybeat ................ excellent once again, you play guitar or ukulele extremely well. Loved it. ![]()
arkady ...... your welcome and yes I hope you do join in more ![]()
neo ..... wow, you have done heaps once again. I am jealous and wish I could get to even one song at the moment
I listened to them all tonight and once again I applaud you for the amount of songs you manage to perform and cover. White Rabbit, Golden Brown and Fields of Gold I must confess I don't know those songs at all (where have I been all my life: lol). But very good guitar work on them all, especially on White Rabbit. Liked the little touch once again with your filming, on Golden Brown changing from yellow to blurred natural light. Fields of Gold had lots of reverb, so your mixing things up and changing things around for each song.
Black Magic woman was catchy to listen to and suited the lead guitar.
Green Green grass of home, an oldy but a goodie. I wondered if this song was a little bit deep for your voice and wondered if a different chord might suit you better so you didnt have to sing so low???
Behind Blue Eyes, a great song and I enjoyed it. I had to laugh at your son and his cracker photo bomb of your video haha ![]()

Re: APRIL 2018 FSOTM - COLORS - INSTRUMENTAL (53 replies, posted in Featured Song of the Month)
Wow, I have been absent due to being busy busy busy with other stuff but so awesome to see all covers, you all rock! I have managed to pop in from time to time and have a listen to a couple of covers at a time until I got through them all. I thought I would comment all at once after I had listened to them all.
Neo .........what can I say! You once again covered so many, you amaze me. I always look forward to seeing what scenic background you are going to perform from
and I really liked the stream running behind as you sang and the kids playing in it. I noticed the slight variations on the filming eg Mellow Yellow had a slight yellow hue to it
You once again made it look all very relaxing as you cruised through all the covers you covered. I thought your last one, 'Blues Bossa' with the lead guitar really added to it, hope to see you bring that out more in some of your other covers ![]()
Roger ... your 'Black is the Colour' cover was just lovely and almost haunting sound to it, really enjoyed it. 'Going Home' wow! that baritone ukulele was just great on it. I don`t own a baritone but I could never make it talk like you made it. Awesome instrumental by you. 'Blood Red River', I have never heard that before but what I heard from your cover was great and I liked the video you put together with it.
arkady ......... I am thrilled to see you participating in here as I said before
'Greensleeves plus' , that was so good, it was really relaxing to listen too. Thoroughly enjoyed it. 'She Moves Through the Fair' I actually don`t know that one but it was great and I loved that drumming, the beat of the drums just really caught my ear. P.S. I hope you continue to bring your covers or originals to FSOTM for us. Even if its not advertised as instrumental as such, any instrumental to whatever the song is that month is still a cover whether its singing or instrumental ![]()
I hope I got everyone and haven't missed anyone or any song. I also hope I get a chance to do one but just so much on at the moment for me ... fingers and toes crossed that I can get one done.
