Dang, Neo ... that guy's good! All of the passersby completely ignored him; a few barely gave him more than a glance ... how sad.
Yes, was pretty sad - he was in Perth a couple of weeks and I went and saw him a few times at lunchtime .. made a few recordings of him, but never learned his name ...

Thank's for that. That is good to know. I just have so many other things on right now that seem to be draining my bank account. Maybe I will reconsider in the future if i get clear of the current load.

No probs - I also meant to add mine is an iPad Air 2/32Gb Wifi only, OnSong doesn't need the latest iPad to run ... just make sure it's got a 64bit architecture, and it should last for quite a few years ... eBay or CraigsList (I think that's our Gumtree equivalent) are a good source of 2nd handers ...

Re: JANUARY 2018 FSOTM - SONGS J AND D - SINGERS, BANDS K AND R (40 replies, posted in Featured Song of the Month)
Got a chance to catch up on Neo's posts. Good work. It seemed like you weren't as familiar with the lyrics on Don't You Want Me Baby and Those Were the Days as you usually are, but you were on key and the guitar work was good on both. I thought you got a groove going on Those Were The Days, which was really cool because that's not what I'd usually think of as a "grooving" song. It's all about the groove!
Thanks - those two were the "I've got 10 minutes before I have to go to work" left-overs, so were also the ones not practiced before I got to them ...
But please clean the lens!
Ahh yes, I have a sad story about my iPhone 5s, which got the battery bulge, which pushes the front screen out, which makes the camera go blurry ... fortunately mine didn't explode!! I've replaced it now, but haven't had a chancve to try it out yet ...

Thanks Zurf for having a listen and comments
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
https://soundcloud.com/ukulelejan/those-were-the-days(edtied by Jandle to add the word "was")
I had a listen over the weekend, but was when I was putting our young one to bed and didn't get all the way through - went to listen today and it seems to be missing??

neophytte .......... thanks, yep your right about the song being more free flowing, totally ... however as I am not the lovely Carol King and don`t have her vocals or talent, I just have to sing it how I can sing it, it`s a cover after all, done my way lol
No probs - and it was meant with all due respect, just an area that could be focused on to improve

Re: Musicians we lost (2017) (6 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Wow memory lane and a bit sad actually. So many talented musicians, amazing people gone. I also looked at 2016 after 2017 and just so many have gone
Yes, at first I was happy to find it as a reminder of such wonderful talent, but after I felt a bit sad because so many greats had passed ... and after that I felt a bit guilty for posting it .. "look at all these people", but I guess everything has a beginning and an end ...
Some of the lesser known ones didn't even make the news in Australia, or maybe I missed the news that day ...

Re: JANUARY 2018 FSOTM - SONGS J AND D - SINGERS, BANDS K AND R (40 replies, posted in Featured Song of the Month)
Ok, here is my quick attempt (2nd take) at this song .... a Singer with the letter K ............. Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow - Carole King. Love to hear your feedback good or bad
I like it - I'm not sure it's the best you've done, but that's probably (I'm guessing) because you've been on holidays and not as much practice as normal ...
Not sure if this is a valid comment given that statement above, but I found the vocals very staccato, falling on the beat most times, and I seem to remember this song is a more free-flowing one, where the voice kind of "roams around" the beat - it's a darn hard thing to master, though!!!
But it's a good song choice - really suited you ...
Cheers
Richard

Wow neophytte and zurf you two have been busy, love it. I sat and listened to them all today now I am back from holiday and have plenty of internet access again. So congratulations you two, very impressive the sheer number you guys managed to perform this month.
Thanks
I agree neophytte, you are a human jukebox, you sure can turn them out. You did one song that i never heard of before (Dedicated Follower of Fashiion by the Kinks) so that was a new one to me. Probably vocally in my opinion ~Don`t Want Me Baby~ was your best vocally and possibly ~Living Doll~ . I thought ~Those Were The Days~ well done but maybe a bit low vocally for you?, wondered if a different chord on this song for you?. I liked the added video of your setup too.
Glad I opened your musical horizon (even if the song is older than me!!)
Thanks for the feedback on the songs; those two were the ones I didn't practice beforehand ... and were at the end of the session, so my voice was a bit dry and creaky ..
Down side of holidays is the clean up when ya get home.
Ain't that the truth!!! Welcome home, BTW.
Cheers
