easybeat ....  I wonder if the reason some of your music is not being seen is because they are all out of order on your page on sound cloud.   Everybody else`s latest songs go to the top of their page on sound cloud where as on yours they are out of order, so the latest songs you put up are not at the top but somewhere further down on the page.

Jim, tried to comment on Sound Cloud and its not letting me but I will try again to comment on there .... I think Sound Cloud is just having a hissy fit smile  Anyway, the song has come out great, once again, you have written a fab song.  I hope one of our talented male chordian`s will attempt this song for you as it is written from a male perspective.  Well done to you smile

boyandclub .... though I didn't understand the language, the music and the vocals were great as was the video clip to go with it.  I wonder if it is possible for you to put up the lyrics in English on your YouTube video  as many people viewing speak English and that would help with understanding the song smile

Your solo on guitar was excellent as well smile

So anyone going to have a go at these songs?  I have been away again this last week, so hopefully NO more trips away this month for me, so I can try to record these.

Ok,  so no one has made suggestions yet and since this time the songs will be picked from the most votes,  I am going to start the ball rolling with these suggestions.   

There are just so many choices out there but I will start with these two male artists simply because they have been or are coming to NZ this year.  I went to see Bruce Springsteen earlier this year and I am hoping to get to Cat Stevens as well.  I love lots of their songs but just went with these two.  Hmm the females artists ... there are heaps of choices I like out there but I tried to pick females artists and songs that you guys can cover too.

MALE:  Cat Stevens ... Father and Son
MALE:  Bruce Springsteen ...  My Home Town

FEMALE:  Bonnie Rait  ..... Something to Talk About
FEMALE:  Amy Winehouse ..... Rehab

I really enjoyed both versions of your song Mojo ..... both had my attention, both were great listening.  I think the studio one was more professional on the recording side and I think you played it without the capo on the 3rd fret? where as the original you played it with the capo on?  I think the original was still good though as you have a natural talent anyway.  Hard to choose between the two songs which i preferred as they were both good.  I guess if it boiled down to it, the recorded version would be better listening on the radio for the sound quality but as I said tough choice as i like both versions.

SUNDAY MORNING COMING DOWN

Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down is a song written by Kris Kristofferson before becoming a number one hit for Johnny Cash. This song has been performed by many artists over the years including Willie Nelson.

From Wikipedia:  Sunday Morning Coming Down is a Johnny Cash album, released in 1972. It is a compilation of previously released tracks.

SANTA MONICA by Everclear

From Wikipedia: "Santa Monica" is a rock song by the band Everclear, from their 1995 album Sparkle and Fade. The song was written by the band's lead singer, Art Alexakis.
Though not officially released as a single in the United States, American radio stations played "Santa Monica" enough for the song to reach #29 on the Billboard Hot 100 Airplay chart in 1996.[1] The song also spent three weeks atop the Billboard Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart,[1] and reached #5 on the Billboard Hot Modern Rock Tracks chart. The song also hit #35 on the Top 40 Mainstream chart. Alvin and the Chipmunks covered the song for their 2007 video game Alvin and the Chipmunks. It is also featured on the video game Band Hero, and as a downloadable track for Rock Band 3.
