I enjoyed your cover of this song ...............well done and agree, Neil Young is great.  Keep up with the music Curt, you are good at it smile

ctech .....I appreciate the work put into this, though I am not a real fan of this type of music.  My son makes this kind of music and I know and appreciate the work and time that goes into making it.  So good on you, I know lots of people do like this type of music, especially the younger  generation (or is that just me being old? lol )

Well I sat down today and listened to all the contributions so far.

unclejoesband ............. though I  have seen that before but it was great to watch and listen to again.  So good how you two have teamed up and are playing together regularly.  Your friend is pretty good on the guitar with all the finger work he`s got going on that`s for sure.  How about doing a new cover for us from one up the top Joe?

Zurf .................... well you deserve a medal for all those songs, very impressive.  I listened to each one and I have to say on everyone one, your guitar playing seems to have really excelled.  You have always been good on guitar but I just could really hear in my opinion,  a whole new level in your  playing style.  Wish I could play like that.  Well done on all the songs you performed.  Have to confess to not knowing a couple of the songs though, which is good, its great to hear new songs.  Will try to leave comments on sound cloud when I next log on there.

neophytte .....  another song I don`t know but I like the sound of it.  You sung it very gently and nice gentle guitar work went well with it.  I will have to look up the original.

Ok keep them coming folks ......... any of you others keen to attempt some of these songs?  Don`t forget to post feedback / comments for people who attempt these songs smile

Wow Peatle, an amazing lady and it brought  tears to my eyes reading about her upbringing and childhood.  So sad a beginning and yet out of all that, came an amazing woman!  Very special lady. 

With regards to my mum ........ she is dearly loved and was a wonderful mum who was my best encourager in life and was always there for me in every way.  She loved us kids all to bits and I love her to bits as well.  Though she still lives at the age of 84 years old, she has very bad dementia, can hardly hold a conversation and is very sad a lot of the time.  I live 7 and 1/2 hours away from where she is in a home, up near my father.  I see her when i can get up but being that far away, I cant just pop up regularly to go see her sadly.  So though she is still with us, she isn`t in away and it makes me sad.  I miss her very much and our long chats, I miss her laughter and smile.

A little twist at the end there easybeat smile

Thanks Zurf for having a listen and comments smile

Ok here is my last entry for this month ..............why I picked it I have no idea ........ I couldn`t find a chord (even after trying to transpose it that suited me) so sheer determination won over vocals .......... it was way to deep in parts for me lol
