Thanks guys for the suggestions smile

Hi ya wmcfrum, I hope we get to hear this song? will you be performing it for us smile

With that I am very aware of the date and I am fast running out of time to get even one done ............ fingers and toes crossed i can get something done (need to find some time first) sad   Last month and this month there are SO MANY I WANT to try!

easybeat ................ excellent once again, you play guitar or ukulele extremely well.  Loved it. smile

arkady ...... your welcome and yes I hope you do join in more smile

neo ..... wow, you have done heaps once again.  I am jealous and wish I could get to even one song at the moment smile  I listened to them all tonight and once again I applaud you for the amount of songs you manage to perform and cover.  White Rabbit, Golden Brown and Fields of Gold I must confess I don't know those songs at all (where have I been all my life: lol).   But very good guitar work on them all, especially on White Rabbit.  Liked the little touch once again with your filming, on Golden Brown changing from yellow to blurred natural light.  Fields of Gold had lots of reverb, so your mixing things up and changing things around for each song. 
Black Magic woman was catchy to listen to and suited the lead guitar.
Green Green grass of home, an oldy but a goodie.  I wondered if this song was a little bit deep for your voice and wondered if a different chord might suit you better so you didnt have to sing so low???
Behind Blue Eyes, a great song and I enjoyed it.  I had to laugh at your son and his cracker photo bomb of your video haha smile

That was great, thanks for sharing Peatle smile

Yep I have noticed that too CG ... guess it boils down to what people want to use Chordie for.   As for me, easybeat introduced me to Chordie and I enjoyed the helpful info and general chit chat here from people.

OH wow, that is just awesome!  Jim something you should be extremely proud of!! Love that touch of having your name on it too smile

Wow, I have been absent due to being busy busy busy with other stuff  but so awesome to see all covers, you all rock!  I have managed to pop in from time to time and have a listen to a couple of covers at a time until I got through them all.  I thought I would comment all at once after I had listened to them all.

Neo .........what can I say!  You once again covered so many, you amaze me.  I always look forward to seeing what scenic background you are going to perform from big_smile and I really liked the stream running behind as you sang and the kids playing in it.  I noticed the slight variations on the filming eg Mellow Yellow had a slight yellow hue to it smile  You once again made it look all very relaxing as you cruised through all the covers you covered.  I thought your last one, 'Blues Bossa' with the lead guitar really added to it, hope to see you bring that out more in some of your other covers smile

Roger ... your 'Black is the Colour' cover was just lovely and almost haunting sound to it, really enjoyed it.  'Going Home' wow! that baritone ukulele was just great on it.  I don`t own a baritone but I could never make it talk like you made it.  Awesome instrumental by you.  'Blood Red River', I have never heard that before but what I  heard from your cover was great and I liked the video you put together with it.

arkady ......... I am thrilled to see you participating in here as I said before smile  'Greensleeves plus' , that was so good, it was really relaxing to listen too.  Thoroughly enjoyed it.  'She Moves Through the Fair' I actually don`t know that one but it was great and I loved that drumming, the beat of the drums just really caught my ear.  P.S. I hope you continue to bring your covers or originals to FSOTM for us.  Even if its not advertised as instrumental as such, any instrumental to whatever the song is that month is still a cover whether its singing or instrumental smile

I hope I got everyone and haven't missed anyone or any song.  I also hope I get a chance to do one but just so much  on at the moment for me ... fingers and toes crossed that I can get one done.
