Ok everyone, I have done one today, a very quick take on a cover and it is up on Sound cloud. I would like to perfect it a bit more when i have more time but heading out now and thought i would get something up to start us all off. I messed up the end on this one but as i said have run out of time to record another just yet.
Have a listen: Ode to Billy Joe ......original by Bobbie Gentry ....... as usual on my ukulele .........i would love to have a drum beat with one too.

I know all about those noises when you're trying to record. When I was trying to record "39" a few weeks ago the first interruption was the phone ringing. I started over and one of the dogs decided to bark. I have one I'm going to do tomorrow when the house is empty. I may just put the dogs outside and unplug the phone.
unclejoesband .......... sounds like my household! Exactly the same thing has happened to me whilst recording some of my other songs, the phone, the dog (many times), tui birds (they can be really noisy) and they sit right outside my window in the tree there (hence where i got the song Tui that i wrote) and because there is public walk way right by our house, skate board, bicycle, runners, babies/toddlers in prams, pushchairs sometimes crying ......the list goes on lol

StrummerboyBill, great glad you approve and yep i think we can either do solo performances OR do performances together somehow either tape over each other OR whoever wants to get together to perform something. Looking forward to it
Easybeat, great glad your keen, we can email some ideas to each other and get together to record something maybe aye? Peatle might like to join us as well, some kind of guitar/drum/uke sing along happening 
unclejoesband, great glad you like the idea too I have one ready to go, just need to re-record it because just as i was on the last line of the song, my son walked into the room and in a big loud voice was talking away to me ........ he didn't realize i was recording lol, so that was the end of that one! Got to re-do it, hopefully today, but just waiting until i have the house to myself so no noises from the others in the house Also good idea, i will put this into My local band and me section once i have recorded it
Peatle Jville, great, hope you will do one too or join in with easybeat and me and do one

Hi everyone,
I was just thinking how a lot of the songs we do on here are originals, or covers of people on chordie who write their own songs, brillant and i am loving it.
I wondered though just for fun, if everyone or anyone was interested in us all doing one cover from a famous known singer, or group .............see what we can come up with............

Thank you everyone for your kind words and to Scott, Amy and Phill ( which will be posted as well soon) who all did beautiful covers, each in their own way - and all so very cool.
This is a link to the TV commercial I watched the night before I wrote this song, and what I was thinking of as I wrote it.
Angels are just people sometimes I believe.

Jim, that`s beautiful the way the male nurse deals with the little girl and the little girl is trying to be so brave. That song they are singing i used to sing and do the hand movements with it when i was a kid with my friend when i was about 11 years old.........................i haven't heard of that song in years until last year when i looked after my great niece for a couple of weeks here and i taught her that song with the hand movements...... talk about memory lane

Beamer .................. had a listen, well done, a haunting version of Jim`s song. I left a comment on your sound cloud (kiki Jan) in case you didn't realize that`s me.
mekidsmom ..........................Wow, wow, wow!!! fantastic take on Jim`s great song! Love what you have done with it. Don`t think i am going to put my version out now after hearing your one!, i was so impressed with it! Sorry can`t comment on your sound click as i am not a member of that.
