Wow neophytte, you did good! lol

anymore people want to make suggestions?

Wow here we are already, thinking about January 2018!

So to start the year off for 2018 we are going to go with an idea from one of our members suggestions, (Beamer to be exact) and pull out RANDOM LETTERS to choose a SONG, a SINGER or BAND for JANUARY`S SUGGESTED FSOTM.

So using the tool that Beamer suggested which chooses random letters, we were able to come up with the letters for this month.

So looking for SONG SUGGESTIONS starting with the letters ~ J ~  and or ~ D ~

Also looking for a SINGER and or BAND SUGGESTIONS starting with the letters ~ K ~  and or ~ R ~

Ok, put your thinking caps on and start making suggestions  .... READY, SET, GO!!!

Hi neophytte,  wow, amazing!  This music you post on ~my local band and I~  is completely different to your other music i have heard you playing on your own with just you and your guitar.  What are you and your friend using for the back ground instruments? is it some sort of music track programme?  Any way well done, I only listened to the radio friendly one, but as I said, completely different to your other stuff.

Ok,  I managed to fit another FSOTM song in tonight ~Sylvia`s Mother~ ........... brought back memories of a song we used to sing years ago.  It was definately a very quick take tonight as the hour is getting late over here and it`s time for some sleep.  My second take ........... still trying to learn guitar again and cajon was not the best but to tired to do another take.

Welcome back Grah1,  glad to see your on the road to recovery vocally and health wise smile

Zurf .......... yeah probably a bit confusing.  But this month was if you go back and read it, was the listed songs which people had suggested for their first ever songs they attempted.  So this month was to for anyone to attempt those songs that people suggested last month BUT they could also challenge anyone to try and cover any one of the listed songs this month (hope that makes sense) verses other CHALLENGE MONTHS where we get to challenge any one for ANY song  you want smile

mojo .................. loved it ...............  at the beginning i kept waiting for you to start singing .............. then as it continued, ahhhhhhhhhh I think to myself, just guitar ............. LOVED it!!!  Oh but couldnt help singing and humming along with it smile

neophytte ........ well played on the house of the rising sun ............ you even had the sun shinning in through your window smile

Peatle ...............  an original by you from going to the Doctors and you  came up with that .... pretty clever.   Even if it is not a FSOTM song smile

Hey eveyone ............. if your songs aren`t ones from this months FSOTM ......... they should be posted in ~ My local band and me ~  cheers  smile
