Have fun,  READY, SET, GO!!!

APRIL FSOTM.   This month we are looking for TWO Separate Categories.

The First Category will be any SONGthat mentions a COLOR in the Song, in the Lyric`s or the Song Title.

The Second Category will be INSTRUMENTAL.  Yep you read it correctly,  NO Singing/Vocals.  This gives Everyone a chance to participate, particularly any members that are a bit shy or just don`t want to sing but love to play their instrument of choice.

Pick one (or as many as you want) of the Songs Listed Below that members have suggested for songs that mention a color. 

As there were so few entries for the Instrumental section, please feel free to cover any Instrumental of your choice this month if it is not listed.

READY … SET … GO!!!

Peatle, the song suits you and yes agree with your lyrics, very much Cuba Street.

Ok, I recorded another one tonight at 10.30pm, figured it is the only time before the end of this month that I am going to get a chance to do another Cover from the list above.  Gee wish I had more time as there are quite a few I would like to attempt on that list.  Anyway, outta time for me. 

So here is my attempt at Angie by the Rolling Stones, 'mistakes' and all which you will hear after my 3rd attempt as it was getting late, my hubby in bed trying to sleep and I am in here singing and strumming loudly (poor guy lol).   Anyway, kinda a funny song to sing since it is meant to be a guy singing a song about a woman and here I am singing it lol .... oh well I like the song, it was a fun song to try and cover.  Just wish I had more time to practice this one.

Ok here is one of the songs I had time to do a quick cover of today Jolene   https://soundcloud.com/ukulelejan/jolene
Hoping to get some more done before the month runs out.
I had already done Elvira previously for another Chordie FSOTM   https://soundcloud.com/ukulelejan/elvira

neo ... thanks for that re the info on Imovie  ... I will have to have a look at the program at some stage. I remember some of the other visuals you did on some of your other songs on you tube which were good too but that one really was good for that particular song I thought.   Bit the same with the echo, which on other songs you have done sounded really good so I wonder if it depend on the song choice?  Interesting anyway how it works aye smile

neo ... had a listen to both.  ~Rome and Juliet~  you covered and performed so well, it suited you very much vocally (probably your best yet in my opinion) and also you played it very well on the guitar.  I liked the video visually how you added the blurry screen around it (which program did you use to video record it like that?).  Excellent cover by you, the whole package.
~Joey-Concrete Blonde~ I hadn`t actually heard this song before  so after listening to your cover I went online and listened to the original version.  Maybe one comment would be a little to much echo on your recording? but then I am no expert, just how it sounded to my ear smile

Zurf ....  thoroughly enjoyed it and liked how you performed it smile   No worries it wasn't on the list, I know it is hard to get time to practice new stuff sometimes, I have had a hard time getting any done myself the last few  months.  The main thing is, you stuck to the theme which was a name, male or female in the song or title, so all good smile

Ok I am just gonna say it ...... I liked his music! .... there I said it lol  I found the guy unusual, definately different in many area`s, strange even but he sure could sing, dance and was extremely creative, talented.  Didn't always like the content of some of his music but even then I found him talented.  Ok I am now gonna moonwalk outta here .....  big_smile
