easybeat, yep pretty much what is happening in the world today in most countries, understandable but has a cost to people, families, jobs etc. Many of those who are skilled in their trade are replaced by more efficient machinery etc................... i hope those valued skilled people never fade away completely.
Good poem, makes one think and reflect ......

Hi Jandal I put a cover up on soundcloud just my version of a Bob Dylan song . It is not as good as what you have done.
Peatle ........ well done, you have done a great job of that Dylan song and a very meaningful song it is too. So awesome you joined in
PS: i am now going to correct my terrible spelling of Dylans surname on my earlier post ....... I must have been having a" moment" with my spelling (Dillon duh) lol

Ok everyone, I have done one today, a very quick take on a cover and it is up on Sound cloud. I would like to perfect it a bit more when i have more time but heading out now and thought i would get something up to start us all off. I messed up the end on this one but as i said have run out of time to record another just yet.
Have a listen: Ode to Billy Joe ......original by Bobbie Gentry ....... as usual on my ukulele .........i would love to have a drum beat with one too.

I know all about those noises when you're trying to record. When I was trying to record "39" a few weeks ago the first interruption was the phone ringing. I started over and one of the dogs decided to bark. I have one I'm going to do tomorrow when the house is empty. I may just put the dogs outside and unplug the phone.
unclejoesband .......... sounds like my household! Exactly the same thing has happened to me whilst recording some of my other songs, the phone, the dog (many times), tui birds (they can be really noisy) and they sit right outside my window in the tree there (hence where i got the song Tui that i wrote) and because there is public walk way right by our house, skate board, bicycle, runners, babies/toddlers in prams, pushchairs sometimes crying ......the list goes on lol

StrummerboyBill, great glad you approve and yep i think we can either do solo performances OR do performances together somehow either tape over each other OR whoever wants to get together to perform something. Looking forward to it
Easybeat, great glad your keen, we can email some ideas to each other and get together to record something maybe aye? Peatle might like to join us as well, some kind of guitar/drum/uke sing along happening 
unclejoesband, great glad you like the idea too I have one ready to go, just need to re-record it because just as i was on the last line of the song, my son walked into the room and in a big loud voice was talking away to me ........ he didn't realize i was recording lol, so that was the end of that one! Got to re-do it, hopefully today, but just waiting until i have the house to myself so no noises from the others in the house Also good idea, i will put this into My local band and me section once i have recorded it
Peatle Jville, great, hope you will do one too or join in with easybeat and me and do one

Hi everyone,
I was just thinking how a lot of the songs we do on here are originals, or covers of people on chordie who write their own songs, brillant and i am loving it.
I wondered though just for fun, if everyone or anyone was interested in us all doing one cover from a famous known singer, or group .............see what we can come up with............
