Topic: MAY 2026 FSOTM – ANYTHING GOES

This month of MAY is ANYTHING GOES month.  You can perform any SONG you want.  It may be a COVER or an ORIGINAL, you know what to do.

We only had one song suggested this month which was:
~Wild Thing by the Troggs~ 
A great song which I personally like, so a great suggestion there Richard.


READY, SET, GO !!!

Laugh Lots ... Forgive Much ...  Love one another     smile

Graham,
you guys rocked that song ! Sounded great.  Listened to it with headphones - shut my eyes - it was like I was right in the front row of your performance !  Really, really, good ! Thanks for Sharing!

Thanks, we also did All along the watchtower, but my microphone was recorded too high which causes distortion on the vocals:
