Topic: SUGGESTIONS: JUNE 2017 FEATURED SONG OF THE MONTH

This time, for JUNE`S SUGGESTED SONGS of the Month, we are looking for TWO SONGS. 
Firstly:  a MALE Artist/Vocalist/Musician/Singer Song Writer/Band, of Your Choice.
Secondly:  a Female Artist/Vocalist/Musician/Singer Song Writer/Band, of Your Choice.
They can be your favorite artist, someone you want to cover or would like someone else to try to cover, it could be a song that you would never normally try to perform but think it`s time to try something new.  The options available to choose from are almost limitless, go on start suggesting!  You can suggest as many Songs as You Want! 
NOTE:  As it seems to be mostly males participating, just a suggestion, it may be advisable to pick a song from a female artist that you (guys) can perform, so that you get to cover both songs.
ALL Suggestions YOU get to VOTE ON!  SO, this time, suggest HEAPS of SONGS and VOTE LOTS … it doesn’t matter how many times you enter Suggestions or how many times your Vote …….. at the end of the day …… it`s all just FUN!

READY?   SET?   GO!!!!

Laugh Lots ... Forgive Much ...  Love one another     smile

Re: SUGGESTIONS: JUNE 2017 FEATURED SONG OF THE MONTH

Ok,  so no one has made suggestions yet and since this time the songs will be picked from the most votes,  I am going to start the ball rolling with these suggestions.   

There are just so many choices out there but I will start with these two male artists simply because they have been or are coming to NZ this year.  I went to see Bruce Springsteen earlier this year and I am hoping to get to Cat Stevens as well.  I love lots of their songs but just went with these two.  Hmm the females artists ... there are heaps of choices I like out there but I tried to pick females artists and songs that you guys can cover too.

MALE:  Cat Stevens ... Father and Son
MALE:  Bruce Springsteen ...  My Home Town

FEMALE:  Bonnie Rait  ..... Something to Talk About
FEMALE:  Amy Winehouse ..... Rehab

Re: SUGGESTIONS: JUNE 2017 FEATURED SONG OF THE MONTH

Female - Walking After Midnight by Patsy Cline

I'll second the vote for Father And Son.  It's one I used to do and I could use a break from having to learn new stuff (though it's been a fun challenge). 
Also, a song I've been trying to learn but instead have been learning all these blasted CAGED chords (jk) is Guy Clark's Bag of Bones.  I need to learn how to do slide for that one though.  Dang it's such a good song.

Granted B chord amnesty by King of the Mutants (Long live the king).

I'll second that one too.  In fact, I already perform this song, so I'll just record it and put it up once my voice heals up.

Abusing moderator privilege to edit in a link to a recording of Live Forever I knocked out between meetings at work. Campfire style - no polish.

Re: SUGGESTIONS: JUNE 2017 FEATURED SONG OF THE MONTH

Janis Joplin did a good version of Bobby McGee, but didn't we do that one already?  It's also a male song, written by Kris Kristofferson and performed by Willie, Johnny, and others.

Re: SUGGESTIONS: JUNE 2017 FEATURED SONG OF THE MONTH

zurf ..... Bobby McGee by Janis Joplin (or other artists) hasn`t been done on FSOTM.   From memory, MKM did this at one of the Chordie get togethers and she did a fantastic job of it too.  But it hasn`t been done as I said on FSOTM,  so yep it can be entered and voted on and I for one VOTE on it smile

Re: SUGGESTIONS: JUNE 2017 FEATURED SONG OF THE MONTH

Great thanks BGD, that helps us with a winning male vocalist for June`s FSOTM and yes it will any song of his as written  in the list above.

So with that and all votes in, the winning songs are:

Male vocalist =  Chris Cornell (any song of his can be covered)
Female vocalist = Janis Joplin`s Bobby McGee

New FSOTM Thread will be going up soon smile
