Rich,

Nice job - all of your songs are well done.
The way you played Folsom Prison was quite unique.
An array of guitars as well - liked what appeared to be the pink top guitar on your Beatles version of All my loving that was along side the others on YT

Have a great day
Jim

Thanks - that was my wife's "Hello Kitty" guitar ....

I'm not sure of the legalities of it, but if that's a side issue, any PC with a CD dive should be able to read the CD and convert it to an MP3 format - from there it will go directly to SoundCloud ... iTunes will do it on a Mac, there are too many programs to list on the PC side, but I'm sure ImgBurn will do the trick ...

Cheers

Gidday,
I`m always trying new things,this is my attempt @ doing a kids story.

The story is quite good, but when listening to it, I found myself dubious about the amount of echo you've put on ... spoken word needs to be a lot clearer (and it's also probably caused the 'peaks' in the recording) ... looking forward to the next installment of the series smile

Cheers

That looks like an interesting instrument - never seen a nylon string one before!!! It would be a bit too big for my smaller hands, but sounds like it 'matches' a classical guitar sizing from the description in this video - good luck with it, post a video and show us how you tamed it!!

Cheers

Shallow Mind - recorded live to the desk, excluding the vocals and bass, which were added later (as we were without a bass player at the time):

It was also remixed in 2013, which fixed up some bits:

I liked the jangly sound you got on your guitar!! But it's hard to hear the words (in my el-cheapo $2 headphones) ....

Ha ha!  "Hello Kitty!"  That guitar sounds good. I didn't expect that from the novelty decoration. 

I'd never heard that song before and didn't know what to expect, but I liked it and couldn't tell that you had a cold. The diction was clear and you were on key. You're very good at keeping a steady beat too. That's something I need to work on.  Very nice recording!

The "Hello Kitty" guitar is made by Squire - it doesn't sound too bad, but needs a new set of strings (as the wife never plays it) ...

Thanks for the kind words!!

This was from my solo CD recording:

Got a fair bit of air play, mostly on the local stations.

I didn't get a chance to listen to your contribution yet, Neophytte, but I'm eager to hear it. I like your whole approach and style.

Thanks - my voice was a bit off, as I was coming down with a cold, and didn't know it at the time ... I may re-do it now that I'm on the mend smile

This is an instrumental I wrote a long time ago:

http://neophytte.mine.nu/audio/mp3/Inte … 20Ride.mp3

This was a re-recorded version for my solo CD project. I also used it recently for a backdrop to a video I put together of random photos of the sunrise from our front yard over a couple of years:
