Anymore attempts at this month before it finishes?

Zurf ........ all good, I think there was a bit of confusion this time around ...... I will try to write it up better next time smile

Welcome back Grah1,  glad to see your on the road to recovery vocally and health wise smile

Zurf .......... yeah probably a bit confusing.  But this month was if you go back and read it, was the listed songs which people had suggested for their first ever songs they attempted.  So this month was to for anyone to attempt those songs that people suggested last month BUT they could also challenge anyone to try and cover any one of the listed songs this month (hope that makes sense) verses other CHALLENGE MONTHS where we get to challenge any one for ANY song  you want smile

mojo .................. loved it ...............  at the beginning i kept waiting for you to start singing .............. then as it continued, ahhhhhhhhhh I think to myself, just guitar ............. LOVED it!!!  Oh but couldnt help singing and humming along with it smile

neophytte ........ well played on the house of the rising sun ............ you even had the sun shinning in through your window smile

Peatle ...............  an original by you from going to the Doctors and you  came up with that .... pretty clever.   Even if it is not a FSOTM song smile

Hey eveyone ............. if your songs aren`t ones from this months FSOTM ......... they should be posted in ~ My local band and me ~  cheers  smile

Just a gentle reminder this months songs are: 

Elvira
Folsom Prison
Sylvia`s Mother
I`m Going To Love You Forever – Randy Travis
To Her Door – Paul Kelly
Proud Mary
Smoke On The Water
A Horse With No Name
Gloria – by Van morrison or Doors
Stepping Stones – by The Monkeys
Leaving On A Jet Plane
House Of The Rising Sun
Jambalaya

Well done zurf to get through so many songs on a Sunday.  I hadn`t heard of Randy Travis song  Forever and ever, so that was new to me.

Anymore suggestions for December Christmas songs? 

I will probably dig out a New Zealand Christmas song and  suggest it (not sure which one yet)  and the Song ~Mary did you know~

Thanks Peatle, awesome for that feedback and  I enjoyed playing this one  smile

Thanks also Jim for your kind comments, it`s a fun song to sing  smile

That is an amazing story, wow mojo and ditto to what Tig said, must be a song in that family history smile  Thanks Peatle for finding the info smile

Thanks neophytte for having a listen smile  And in regards to your cover on this song, covers are how you want to make them so there is no right or wrong smile

Here is another very quick attempt as one of this months FSOTM ~Folsom Prision~.  Bit of lag with me blowing the whistle lol as I was trying to perform this on my own (hard to get to the whistle on time). Think my banjo ukulele could do with some new strings too! smile

easybeat, I haven`t forgotten your challenge song to me, will get onto it, I will have to sit and learn that one though as I don`t know it that well smile 
easybeat, reckon as you did your first challenge so quickly it is time for another challenge for you too..... so I challenge you to ~Gloria~  smile

Comments on sound cloud beamer,  awesome you get to have fun jamming with your son smile

Thanks Peatle for having a listen smile

Thanks neophytte smile

Ok, here is a very quick attempt I did this afternoon of ~ Elvira~ .  I tend to get a bit too fast in parts (but then I have a bad tendancy to do that at the best of times).
