Really good!!

Great cover mojo, you nailed it once again.
Yeah will be interesting to see if anyone does any Milli Vanilli songs ..... i didn't have a clue who they were before this.  Guess your not going to be doing any of their songs from your comment?

Zurf ........... don`t worry, be happy, everything's gonna be alright,  ........... all era`s  of music will be covered over time and over different months (but not necessarily month after month) smile

We are looking for TWO SONG Suggestions for the month of April.  We are wanting ONE SONG from the 1960’s and the SECOND SONG from the 1980`s. 

It can be ANY SONG of YOUR CHOICE, a band, a solo artist, any genre, whatever takes your fancy, whatever you like.   

This time we will be picking your suggestions Out Of The Hat.

READY, SET, GO!!!

Up now

For our March FSOTM, we put it to you to vote and there were two votes for Wish You Were Here.  All other songs mentioned only had one vote however there were two mentions for Milli Vanilli.  So looks like they are the chosen songs for March.   As there was no mention of which song from Milli Vanilli,  you can perform any song of your choice as long as it is a Milli Vanilli song.

WISH YOU WERE HERE

Here`s a possible Chord page to use: http://www.chordie.com/chord.pere/getso … e.2.chopro

Here is a YouTube link David Gilmour:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvOe7q5MDOw

From Wikipedia:   Wish You Were Here is the ninth studio album by the English rock band Pink Floyd, released on 12 September 1975 by Harvest Records in the United Kingdom and a day later by Columbia Records in the United States. Inspired by material the group composed while performing around Europe, Wish You Were Here was recorded during numerous recording sessions at Abbey Road Studios in London, England.
Wish You Were Here was an instant commercial success (despite the fact that Harvest Records' parent company EMI was unable to print enough copies of the album to satisfy commercial demand), and although it initially received mixed reviews, the album has since gone on to receive critical acclaim. It appears on Rolling Stone's lists of "The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time" and the "50 Greatest Prog Rock Albums of All Time". Band members Richard Wright and David Gilmour have cited Wish You Were Here as their favourite Pink Floyd album, and many critics and fans have considered the album to be the band's magnum opus.

MILLI VANILLI

No Chord Suggestions:  Sorry no chord suggestions for this, as it depends on which song you choose.  However as you know, Chordie does have a great search engine for songs, so depending on which song you choose, do your own search.

Here is a YouTube link and example of Milli Vanilli:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdSmokR0Enk

From Wikipedia:  Milli Vanilli was a German R&B duo from Munich. The group was founded by Frank Farian in 1988 and consisted of Fab Morvan and Rob Pilatus. The group's debut album Girl You Know It's True achieved international success and earned them a Grammy Award for Best New Artist on 21 February 1990.[1] Milli Vanilli became one of the most popular pop acts in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Their success quickly turned to infamy when Morvan, Pilatus and their agent Sergio Vendero confessed that Morvan and Pilatus did not sing any of the vocals heard on the record. The pair decided to return the Grammy awards and asked they be given to the real vocalists.[2][3][4] The group recorded a comeback album in 1998, but Rob Pilatus died before the album was released.[5]

Ok, Off You Go And Get Started!

Thanks Grah1, i enjoyed trying to perform this song of yours smile

Yep know the feeling Grah ........ life gets busy sometime for sure smile

Ok...... I am in catch up mode with songs.  I have put up my attempt at the song `Cloak of Invisibility`.  It was a little bit of a rush job, so the beginning is a bit to fast and i did hit a bum note lol.  Guitar playing not the best either but i enjoyed trying to play and sing this one.  I like the meaning behind it.  Wouldn't mind improving on this one when i get the time.  https://soundcloud.com/ukulelejan/cover … visibility

Finally caught up with everyone's effort for February`s FSOTM and wow awesome efforts by everyone.  I have left comments on soundcloud for you.

Rickyjack ......... so great to see you back performing.   Your cover of `Amie` was so good, the harmonicia once again just adds to it, great guitar, vocals, the whole package, awesome!

BGD and Zurf .......` Country Road`..... great you two got together and sounds like your having a blast, just how music should be, fun and enjoyable.  I found myself smiling all the way through listening to you both.  Loved the fancy guitar bit at the end too.

BGD and Zurf .....`Amie` .... I sure wish i could play guitar like that!  Great vocals there, i really enjoyed listening to this and was busily playing the drums on my desk along with you both.

Mojo01 ........`Amie` ...... Ditto to what the others said, great vocals and guitar, i really enjoyed listening to you.
Mojo01 .........`Country Road` ....... You sang this really well, played it well on guitar, great listening.

Roger ........... `Country Road` ...... this song really suited you and I liked how you put it all together musically as well as the video to go with it .... worked the whole package (even if the car is driving on the wrong side of the road lol)

Ok I think that is everyone, hope i haven`t missed anyone out.

HI everyone,  nice to be back and I have been busy catching up on everyone's performances since i have been away smile  I have left comments on Sound Cloud for all of you smile

So starting off with:

Zurf ..........on Cloak of Invisibilty ....... you picked your guitar so well in this song, really good and a good performance by you.
Zurf ....... on Mother (a Punks Version)...... I loved how you played this on your guitar, it was awesome.

Roger ...... on Cloak of Invisibilty ....  very heartfelt version, can hear it in your version of this song.
Rgoer ..... on Mother .........  i liked how you performed this song and your arrangement of it.

Beamer ...... on Mother (Acoustic Version) ........I liked this version the best of your two versions,  it suited your voice and it just worked ... PLUS i did hear and liked the added heart pulse and line at the end.
Beamer .... on MOther (Heavy) .... though i am not into heavy metal or heavy music, i expected it of you and you did it justice, well done.

Beamer great to see also you have commented on people`s versions of your songs....................... Grah wondering where your comments are and what your thinking of peoples versions of your song?
