That was a great song, used to dance along to that at parties.  I never knew the lead singer was from Split Enz, some new I learned!  Sang along to it, still a great song.
TIGLJK, I already brought the book from Brian, he did an awesome job of it for sure.

Oh wow, that was amazing and what an honor for Neil Finn to have meet and played with not only a talented musician but hero.  Thanks for sharing, Brian, it was very touching to watch.     

neophytte, good to see you performing your song live and glad you added the final verse.  I did however struggle to hear the lyrics of the final verse and even used the transcript which wasn't much help for the last verse lol.  If you get the chance, write the words of the last verse down on here so I can have another listen.  I liked the subtle changes you made in the song, the clicking of fingers, the end outro was good on guitar, slightly different to the original outro, which all added to it.  The only other comment was it was harder to hear overall, no doubt being live makes it harder with the recording side of things, whereas the first version you did for us last month, it was quite easy to hear the lyrics.  Anyway, a fun song, I like it, well done.     

Any suggestions from anyone?

here are some from me:

Deliliah - Tom Jones
Bad Bad Leroy Brown -Jim Croce
Bobby McGee (Baton Roughe) - Kris Kristofferson
City of New Orleans - Steve Goodman

I remember this song but the first time I have seen this video.  I never knew Bruno was part of the band, I really only knew him as an actor.  Cool easybeat, you're showing us some history here.

TIGLJK, that Rock n Roll song wasn't a failure at all, I thought it was well written.

TIGLJK,  I could totally visualize that scene.   I would love to hear you play this or anyone else on here with an electric guitar to hear what it sounds like.   Nice one Jim.

Oh now that's a great song, I used to love that song, haven't heard it in forever.   And I am ashamed to say I didn't know they were a Kiwi band.     

TIGLJK, thanks for having a listen and comments smile   Sadly, I haven't had time to write any songs, it's been hard enough getting time to record covers.   Hoping to do more now the painting is finished, though more painting awaits in the future.  Maybe you could write a parody suitable for me to attempt?  You're the man with the writing skills smile

neophytte and easybeat, thanks both of you for taking time to have a listen and your comments as well smile

Nice to see you back on here easybeat.  That is a song I havent heard in a very long time.  Memory lane for sure smile     

neophytte, that was really good as well.  Like the new way your mixing it.  Good lyrics too.     

Hey good to see you Jets, haven't seen you in a while on here.   How about covering that song you mentioned? or writing one for this month? smile

neophytte, that was great, really enjoyed it.  Liked the lyrics, the way you sang in it, including the little speaking bit haha and of course guitar wise, it suited the song very much.  Look forward to hearing the next verse.  Maybe you could write more about your reaction in the 3rd verse or make up something that happened for a 3rd verse smile
