LOL!  Here is an aborted attempt on City of New Orleans that I think all of you will appreciate.  Especially those who have raised silly and bold children (Mekidsmom!).   I'll try again some other time.

I've been busy and haven't listened to ALL the recordings on here yet, but was reading through and saw my name... so of course I HAD to listen to this one.  I laughed out loud along with you.  Jim heard me from the other room asking what the heck I was laughing over.  So I played it for him.  HE laughed out loud too, and I couldn't help but to laugh again!  AWESOME!  Yes, yes, yes!  Silly bold children for the win!  Ha!

OK, I finally made it through all the submissions!  Thank you everyone, as it made me smile on this gloomy Saturday... AND inspired me to get the guitar out after the long week!  I've commented on all the soundclouds and youtube pages provided since my earlier post in the thread!

Thanks for your kind words dino..
It was me on the harp and guitar. I find it to be a very useful tool when I can't remember the words to a song.

Sounds great Ricky. Really well put together. How did you record? Mic in a room or individual microphones?

Re: Sept. 2016 FSOTM: City of New Orleans - Don't Think Twice It's Alright

Thanks Jandle, I'm glad you liked my songs.
BGD, I run my mic and instrument thru my 35 watt amp, then mic the amp to my computer. Just sitting here in the music room.

On a side note... Every time I put a song up on soundcloud I get several "follows" from young women. I block them every time...I'm an old guy and don't need no heart-attack.
Does anyone else have this problem or am I missing something?

Thanks Chordie for the years of music and advise.

Re: Sept. 2016 FSOTM: City of New Orleans - Don't Think Twice It's Alright

rickyjack ........ yes it seems to have become an annoying part of Sound Cloud and I say "become" because it never used to happen when i first joined Sound Cloud.  Anyway, the majority of them if you go check out their sites, they have no 'tracks' themselves but seem to follow and add new listings.   They try to get followers themselves, so it makes me wonder if there is some kind of deal with getting as many followers to listeners that they can earn from???  The other ones that seem to happen, are set up to look more like a professional ... but again the same thing, no Tracks, just advertising to get you to follow them.  A couple of them even messaged me to like their Sound Cloud account (like i am going to do that).    Just seems to be annoying part of Sound Cloud now sad

Re: Sept. 2016 FSOTM: City of New Orleans - Don't Think Twice It's Alright

Yeah i get this stuff too.
It seems to me there are two types of musician.
The type that love music, want to listen to others ,enjoy & converse music .
or the other type, they are only interested in themselves and what they are doing
they are out to promote themselves.
needless to say these young chicks are in the second category.Go figure!

Does that mean the Soundcloud is turning into the "Facebook of Band-Camp Groupies"??  How sad is that?!  Tweet me and share your thoughts...... Good Luck with that by the way. wink

Re: Sept. 2016 FSOTM: City of New Orleans - Don't Think Twice It's Alright

Most of those likes and other bits on soundcloud from young woman are just computer generated rubish. I just ignore them the same with the advertising stuff and other annoying unwanted messages that I have received through soundcloud.

Re: Sept. 2016 FSOTM: City of New Orleans - Don't Think Twice It's Alright

OK I have now posted my version of Don't Think Twice It's Alright. Instruments used: a fingerpicked Nashville tuned guitar, strummed Nashville and standard tuned guitars and the autoharp. The drum and bass are courtesy of Band-in-a-Box.

Wow! There are some great and different versions of "Don't Think Twice It's Alright". Now I have completed  mine I have listened to them and commented on Soundcloud but I was unable to access the one from Easybeat. Well done all.

I will listen to "City of New Orleans" songs after I have recorded my own.

Sounds good Roger The band in a box gives a full accompaniment .I just took a look at it on line its a hell of a program but expensive.

Re: Sept. 2016 FSOTM: City of New Orleans - Don't Think Twice It's Alright

Roger
yeah i just put it up for a week.it wasn`t very good.
But i did it to encourage others to have a go.
