Hey there again ....... needing to decide which of the MALE vocalist is the winning song.  Looks like we have 3 male vocalist that have 2 votes each ................ how about some one voting on one of them so we can get the next FSOTM up and running smile

Oh my! ................. I couldn't even pronounce what they were singing .... let alone keep up with what they were singing lol

Yep Strummerboy Bill and Doug_Smith ...................... it was done a year ago as I commented above smile   I think if we all just stop commenting on this thread, it will eventually fade away into some abyss, beyond our reach (or not) hopefully  smile

Thank you Zurf .... I am trying, just wish I got more time to practice it smile

Amritaspa, thank you, I did this song this time last year smile

TIg .....thank you .... I am not sure what your talking about here but I did do Ode to Billy Joe last year, it was the first FSOTM smile

(Edited to fix spelling mistake Jandle)

Suggests songs so far and votes ......

MALE:                                                                  
Cat Stevens ... Father and Son ..... 2 votes                              
Bruce Springsteen ...  My Home Town
Guy Clark .... Bag of Bones
Billy Joe Shaver .... I'm Gonna Live Forever ... 2 votes  (ahem,  already performed and up on sound cloud by one enthusiastic member ... now that`s either enthusiasm or jumping the gun wink 
Chris Cornell ....  any songs of his ....... 2 votes
Greg Allman .... Midnight Rider or I`m No Angel


FEMALE:
Bonnie Rait  ..... Something to Talk About
Amy Winehouse ..... Rehab
Patsy Cline ....  Walking After Midnight
Janis Joplin .... Bobby McGee .... 2 votes

This is due to close very soon .............. anymore votes on the above suggested songs?  or suggestions?

zurf ..... Bobby McGee by Janis Joplin (or other artists) hasn`t been done on FSOTM.   From memory, MKM did this at one of the Chordie get togethers and she did a fantastic job of it too.  But it hasn`t been done as I said on FSOTM,  so yep it can be entered and voted on and I for one VOTE on it smile

Jim ..... a touching song, very appropriate too after what has happened.  Your gift with words shinning through once again.

BGD awesome, any particular song of his?, helps in case it gets chosen and can put up the song.

Any one else with male/felmale artists? A song of theirs?   ........................ ??????

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.

Great thanks for suggestions everyone ...................but there must be more suggestions out there and votes. 

What about some more suggestions for songs from the female artists as well as males artists.

What about more votes on the ones that have already been suggested.

SUGGESTIONS, SUGGESTIONS, VOTES, VOTES  smile

Hi everyone, I just spent tonight catching up on what you all have been recording and commenting on here in Chordie. 

easybeat ......... .Firstly,  thanks for getting the ball rolling with FSOTM  smile  and wow, great job!  I liked your cover, you certainly did it justice and left me wanting you to do the whole song!  As i have told you before, this style of song suits you very much.  More please smile

Zurf ........... that was so  good, you got me singing along, great guitar work too.   Nothing wrong with your recording ... what are you talking about?! smile

BGD ........ Looking forward to hearing your covers too.

TIGLJK ........... Yay,  I hope you do Sunday Morning Coming Down, will look forward to it.   Hey, join the club regarding getting chords right on guitar ......... stupid F and B chords!  How are we meant to get the timing right with chords like that? trying to get fingers in position on time ..... sheesh roll

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
