Cheers Piri, my Maree liked their disco music but I couldn't get into it.  Maree liked that film "Saturday Night Fever".  Sometimes just to wind Maree up or get a bite out of her I will refer to Johnny Travolta as Johnny Revolta. One of their later songs that I did like was this one which I will attach here.

Excellent feedback Jan, Piri and Jim thank you.
Jim your brilliant words are more of a reflection of the narrative running through my head rather than the lyrics on the song I put up by Derrick Dove&The PeaceKeepers.
Though there have been times when the song that I put up here reflects the temporary moods that I go through.
I think that band is from Texas but I'm not sure as they don't seem to get much airplay down here in New Zealand.  Though having said that I don't listen to mainstream radio much.     

Another clever lyrically written song Jim . When I saw the title I was thinking about how our Auctioneers down in this part of the world say, "going going gone"  before dropping their  gavel to confirm the winning successful bid.     In your song it takes on a different meaning.

Jan your magic. I love your mahi on here thank you.     

I listened to this and I see on the YouTube link you put up here it is Al Hunter but it sounds like Willy Nelson. only thing I can think of is it is to do with Airlines or flying or travel. My question is it the kiwi Al Hunter?     

Cheers Jan and Piri thank you for your feedback and question on how I record.
Just recently I installed a free online thing called Clipchamp onto my laptop. It is real easy to use. It has non-linear editing software that allows users to import, edit, and export audio and visual material. So I record my vocals and guitar on my cell phone. After experimenting a bit I began multi tracking my vocals. So I put my headphones on and play what I previously recorded through my laptop  while recording my  next vocal  into my cell phone. In regards to echoing voice parts its just multi tracking the same vocal in a way that makes it sound like it is echoing. So the echo sound comes by singing the same thing a little after or before the main vocal, also sometimes by singing a bit lower or higher. By using my recording method I can hear my previous dubbed track.  I have a terrible voice but I suspect someone with better vocal ability than me could make it work better. I email my recording of my phone to my laptop then download onto Clipchamp. Lyrically I’m losing my way at the moment.

Jim, I like your number 2 version the best of this song.     

I love not only the vocals but the incredible banjo and cello sound. Good moves there also to the music with the finger clicks and whistling.

Yes Jim that is the same Rolf Harris.
