Peatle ................ thanks for the nice compliment by the way smile and I really do hope Maree plays the piano LOTS MORE smile

Hiya neophytte .....  welcome and great to see you joining it smile   Look forward to seeing what you come up with for the FSOM .... you can try to cover them the same as the original or make them your own .... whatever takes your fancy.

On that note, just went and watched your cover of "I had to say I love you" .... very nice ..... you covered it well, timing great, and you had a lovely soft voice with that particular song which suited it.  Well done smile

P.S. your braver than me, I haven`t been brave enough to put myself up on video.  I did one video of myself singing something quite a while back and thought nope, not doing that again lol

Hi neophytte, great to see you on board smile

Mojo01 .... NICE!  Another song I confess I hadn`t actually heard of before but now I do.  Nice cover once again, you just seems to nail them smile

Peatle .... I like how you make songs your own and one never knows what your going to do with it.  The piano was awesome, tell Maree she is a great pianist ..... how can she not play it more often? smile 
Regarding my broken leg and my journey, i am getting there, better each week.  I have progressed to being able to get up and down small steps now which means i can actually leave the house with out help! Yay!

Zurf.... haha I loved your commentary once again, it always makes me laugh.  And wouldn't we ALL love to have a piano player such as Maree or drums or other instruments playing along side us   *ahh to dream* .  Anyway, liked your cover and you are another good guitarist.

Anymore suggestions? we are heading into the last week of September before October hits us smile

I know there are more of you out there that could make some suggestions smile

Loved the guitar work on this one easybeat.  I know you like to flick them out real quick, ones offs etc but it would be really good to see you writing your lyrics down with chords so you can reproduce your music and or others could attempt to play them .... just a suggestion smile

Zurf ....  you have now introduced me to a new song, hadn`t heard of that one before.    Well done, liked how you performed it and as always, love your commentary on your covers smile 

Peatle ......  well you had a ukulele going on that one smile  So good to hear your take on this song as well. 

I will have to go online to listen to the original version of this song as never heard it before, comments left on sound cloud for you both smile

Thoughts and prayers are with all our Chordie friends through the hurricane.

haha funny

My name comes from my nickname of Jan and part of my surname dle .......... hence Jandle ..... but is also very much a Kiwi or New Zealand thing to wear jandles on your feet in the summer (jandle = thongs in some countries)

Looking for Two Song Suggestions for the month of October.

One song from the UK and One Song from the USA – any song of your choice, from a band or solo artist, any genre.

Have fun,  READY, SET, GO!!!

Ok - so we are going to have another Challenge Month just like last month.   Why you may well ask?, well, due to the lateness of getting this month’s FSOTM up and running and because it was fun!

How's the Challenge Month work?  Here's how we'll try this one...
1. Pick a song, any song you like... cover it... upload... challenge!
2. Take that challenge!  Try to cover the one before you, and offer up another song as a challenge if you like!
3. Snowball out of control with multiple songs offered up as challenges that others can pick from and try out too!
These don't have to be GREAT AMAZING COVERS... have FUN with it!

You can't challenge others, unless you submit a recording!
The first one to post a recording starts the challenge rolling!

Go!

Hiya  Zurf,
