TIG ...... thanks so much for your great feedback.  Yes, it`s a thought provoking song for sure, I always enjoy this song when I hear it on the radio or where ever, definitely tugs at the heart, makes me sad for people living in this situation.

Classical Guitar ..... thanks also for your wonderful feedback.  On this particular song I used a guitar which I am still learning to play.  In regards to my ukulele`s though,  I have a few actually but the two I use the most are my Ibanez electric/acoustic cut away ukulele which is a concert size.  The other one I use a lot is my Kala 8 string tenor which I have made into a 6 string as I prefer 6 strings to 8 for the sound effect, however, i am able to put it back to 8 string if i want.  I don`t play my soprano size ukes much these days, except I do take one soprano uke away on holiday with me that lives in the camper van.

TF ........... gosh thanks so much as well for the amazing feedback, really encouraging for me.  I think this song is one of those ones it has a lot of feeling in it with the lyrics.

Peatle ......... thank you also for the awesome feedback.  I do like to try covering different styles as there are so many different styles out there that I like, to many lol.  I think the only stuff I am not really keen on is heavy metal and opera.     

What no names yet? yikes     

TIG ..... still a great song written by you and of course not to mention how it was covered vocally and musically.   Loved it as much as I did the first time listening to it.  This could easily be heard on the radio and people sing along to it.     

neo .... great guitar work on ~Sunny~.  The guitar made it i think on this one.  ~I can see clearly now~, an oldie but a goodie.  I think of the 2 songs, Sunny was the better, your guitar work really worked on this one.     

Hi lethanh, yes sure have heard of that song, I think most people would know  it.  Are you going to perform it for us?     

Here is my quick Cover tonight of the song "Luka" by Suzanne Vega.  I am thankful I have never been abused  physically but my heart goes out to those that have been and live in this atmosphere of violence.

Bill, I enjoyed that, and agree with Phill, your comment "had enough yet" just cracked me up smile  Keep going your doing great and its just great to see you putting stuff up.  And this particular song has memories for me too ................... Peatle and easybeat put myself and 2 others through some challenges with this particular song to see if we could do it acapella styel!!! They had me doing the main bit and two other ladies joining it ................. lol we had a bit of a laugh with it smile

Baldguitardude ............ I liked that one of Matisyahu One day/No Woman no cry  .............. awesome!!!     

Bill you made that sound so interesting .......... your a story teller for sure smile 
I can`t say I have ever had the honor of playing in a band since I only started singing and playing uke and guitar a few years ago .......... ahhh how I wish I had started younger and been in a band............ who knows how many I would have been kicked out of yikes     

Wow, so crazy thinking about JANUARY 2019 already!!! 

For this MONTH`s FSOTM SUGGESTIONS for JANUARY, there will be TWO NAMES drawn OUT OFTHE HAT.   The TWO MEMBERS whose names get pulled out will get to pick a COUPLE OF SONGS EACH for this month`s FSOTM.  It can be ANY SONG of that members choice.

So, PUT YOUR NAMES DOWN TO ENTER and your names will go in the hat and get drawn out at the end of the month.

READY!   SET!   G!!!

Here we are in DECEMBER again, 2018 is nearly gone. For this MONTH`S FSOTM, as there were no suggestions for songs from any members this is what we are looking for.

1.    Any Christmas Song or Song that Mentions the word Christmas
2.    Any Song that causes you to Reflect on this Year (in other words ANYTHING you like)
3.    Any Song that makes you Think about the New Yearor Mentions the New Year

It can be an Original,  a Cover or an Instrumental.  Let’s see what you can all come up with.

READY ... SET ... GO!!! 

Ok looks like was a very very quiet month ............with zero suggestions neutral     

That`s great easybeat, I think there is lots of songs and poetry to be written regarding reflection ......... even paintings!!! ( but that`s not musical yikes  lol)     

Peatle .....thanks so much for the lovely comment and yep, i like this song smile     

Thanks to TIGLJK, neo and CG for your very kind feedback.  Its a great song, one I enjoyed performing.

CG, that Janis Joplin version was amazing, she certainly has an amazing voice. 
neo ... lol I thought the same as TIG, where did 2019 go? lol smile     

Here is my attempt at covering Summertime ...... nearly at the end of the month already .....where does time go?!
