Love it mojo  ..... and the talking bits in it really add to it smile

Zurf .... I enjoyed your cover, it`s a song I know well, one we perform at Resthomes or Retirement villages.  I enjoyed your guitar work in this one too smile

Ok ... just got done listening to all of your covers neophytte ............. and I have to say, well done for attempting so many of the songs this month!  I think you are the first one to have a go at so many, so wow and well done to you! 
Smoke on the Water ... great guitar work in  there.
Stepping Stone .......some very clever guitar work particularly toward the end of it! 
Sylvia`s Mother ... very recognisable, well done
and finally  Leaving on a Jet Plane .  You have done really well to cover all these songs, impressive to say the least.

any chance of a video????

Wow great to see all these covers going up smile 

So far since I was last on here and commented, I have listened  to 3 of your songs neophytte ........and will continue to listen to the rest this evening when I get a little bit more time.
So neophytte,  so far I have listened to Elivira, Folsom Prison and Proud Mary.  Good covers and well played.  You play the guitar well and the use of the fret board on some of the songs very well smile   Elivira was a bit different to how iIusually have heard this song but the beauty of doing covers here is that we can make them to sound however we want, so good for you.  Folsom Prison version also a little bit different too but both of these songs you made them your own.  Have to agree with what zurf said about the vocals, they could do with being louder or the mic up closer so as not to be out done by the guitar playing. 
Proud Mary was the best one I thought because you seemed more confident and it seems like you know it well, so your vocals and guitar style on this cover were good, very enjoyable on this one smile

Thanks everyone, appreciate you having a listen.

neophytte .... hope your wife enjoys the ukulele as much as I have and yes,  get your wife to join into FSOTM

Peatle .... thanks, Belinda and I have fun mucking around.

mojo01 ... thanks, Belinda is very good on the harmonica and just keeps getting better and better on it.  Something very cool about a harmonica.

Phill ....  Thanks but it isn`t a FSOTM song at all hence why i put it in this section wink   Yep it probably is longer than the original,  just as well its a "cover" we can cover it our way smile

Had fun mucking around with some songs today with a friend.  Here is one we played around with but only had two attempts at recording it before she had to go home.  I think with a couple more attempts at this song we could have done it a bit better and a mistake on my part in the song wouldn't be in there roll

Belinda on Harmonica
Me on vocals, ukulele and cajon.

mojo01  ... that was a touching song, after all that hard work then to be taken out by cancer and not get to enjoy life after and retirement.  I am sure your dad would have been very proud of your guitar playing and songwriting talent.

We now live in an apartment which saves us the house payment. The car is almost paid off. The complex furnishes free cable tv which saves us about  $100.00 a month, and we can now afford a cleaning person to come in every 2 weeks to help us keep the place clean.

We love you guys and ladies!

Well Bill,
I am glad to see there are some positives happening in your life, so keep trying to focus on the good stuff whilst your going through the tough stuff.  Hang in there, it will eventually pass and you will be back to yourself before you know it.  Thinking of you and Dondra smile
