Jiml brilliant, well done lol.  Though I am not a whiskey drinker, I am sure my husband would like this song, he enjoys a whiskey smile     

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.

I have a Roland Street Cube, it does both, portable, easy to use.     

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.

Waltzing Matilda

Hope it qualifies!!

Better version is now here as a duo:

That was really good Richard, this version was great.  I think whenever we have accompanying musicians play with us, our performances go way up, simply because the other instruments make a big difference.   Awesome. 
PS:  On a completely unrelated topic, I like the decor in his house, I kept staring at it, very nice.  Loved the sign with the names on it, like road signs.

I also did this one a few years ago on banjo:

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

You were saying? big_smile

A very different version of Waltzing Matilda  Richard lol but I enjoyed it, well done.  I never thought of it as a Country song to be honest.  So, I looked it up and apparently it`s a Bush Ballard / or some say Folk music.  It`s definitely an unofficial national anthem for the Aussies smile  Anyway, you did good, even if it was hard to hear the vocals ;P

Also take tumeric in vege capsules every day.     

You can try rubbing organic castor oil into your aching joints,  especially at night before bed so it soaks in through the night.  But use whenever you think to put it on.  It won't work straight away, but it's one of those things that the more you use it, the more it helps.

He certainly was a character as is Sharon his wife.     

Good to hear a female cover this, gave it different dynamic.     

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.     

That is so good Jim, lots of really good lines in there, all the better if based off a true story.  I can`t give you any advice as I am not much of a song writer or blues player but love what you have done with this song.

This months FSOTM is COUNTRY.    So as usual looking for any COUNTRY song you would like to perform.  A COVER or an ORIGINAL you have written or would like someone to try and perform for you.

No Love in Oklahoma – Luke Combs
Take Me Home Country Road – John Denver

READY, SET, GO!!!!

Definitely the ROCK vibe going on in that one Richard, awesome.  Vocals were hard to hear though on this one.  Different band to the original? they performed well.

Really good Peatle, I particularly liked the Knoxville Town one, Americana style, those ladies nailed it.  I would love to perform music like that.

Anymore suggestions?

Another rock song I wrote:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnBp8NRrThA

Or the non-video version is here:

https://richardmortimer.bandcamp.com/track/that-night

Bass, drums and guitar were recorded from a jam onto an 8 track analog recorder in the 90's sometime, with the song being chopped up and adding vocal and effects in 2023. My brother and I worked on this song a long time ago, it's changed a lot since the original deep synth version.

That Night - Richard Mortimer

Really good neophytte, the whole package put together is great.  Have you posted this previously? I feel like I have watched this one before?  Anyway, it was worth watching again if you have smile
