Frank and Johnny, both artists I have enjoyed over the years, thanks for sharing.     

wow, that was good, I hadn't heard of that song before.  I am realizing easybeat, you are miles ahead of me in the music industry with all these artists and their music.     

lyrics are very sad sad     

After all these years (36 years to be exact) living in Wellington, I have never heard that song before easybeat.  Cheers for sharing.     

wow that was not only a great listen on this song, but the information you guys gave to go along with it, very interesting.  P.S., I loved that movie Papillon.     

Loved it! I am a fan.

Hi everyone, sorry been absent most of this month, had a very close family member in hospital for a couple of weeks up north, sadly they have passed away, hence my being absent on chordie.

Anyhow ......
neophytte, that little mic looks great, have you invested in one yet?
 
Peatle, as far as I am concerned trying new things in music is GREAT!!!  Keep on experimenting smile

Jim, this shorter version is good and it's a great song smile     

neophytte, great setting the Vinyl Cafe to perform in.  Well done on your original song, nicely performed.  Only other comment I would make is, it was very hard to hear in parts what they words were that you were singing, not sure if it was because of the recording or the background public noise or the guitar louder than your vocals.     

Peatle, that was a clever way to write and perform a song.  You had the old man and the young man responding to the audience.  Very clever, well done smile     

Great suggestions neophytte.

Anyone else?

Jan and all of you New Zealanders ....

what a classic song......   I had never heard of it before.   A lot of history with that song.

Great cover Jan.

I can picture it being sung by a bunch of people at a party. 

Thanks for sharing.
Jim

TIGLJK thank for having a listen and yes, it is definitely a party song here in NZ smile   Hey that was a great find you found on the internet and have shared regarding the history of the song smile

Jan your a natural born musician good to hear your excellent version of two great party songs from the 60/s.

Thanks Peatle for your feedback.  They are great parties songs still and always get people tapping their feet and singing along.

They weren't as rough as I was expecting, and the addition of the bass/snare was quite good!

Wow, just noticed it's almost the end of the month, better get something prepared for next month ... already!

Cheers

Richard

lol thanks Richard, was using my 6 stringed Kala ukulele on this one.  It actually is an eight string ukulele but I took 2 of the strings off as I prefer it with 6 strings.

Nice one neo.   I don't know that particular song I have to admit.  But without knowing the original, you performed it well from just listening to you.

Thank you, this is an original which has the line:

I'm feeling something completely new
