well I butchered another one for better or worse heres my go at it
So what's wrong with that. I think it sounds great. 
I'm with UJB! Sounds great MoJo!!!
Yeah that sounds great. I'll still move it down for you if you want, just need to know what key you're in right now. 
^ I enjoyed that mojo - Nice job!
Wow mojo ............... as i said to Baldguitardude, you nailed it! that was awesome, really enjoyed listening to it, foot was tapping away with a life of its own What talent you both have!
Mojo
Excellent Man ! Really had that southern Louisiana feel to it.
Lots of talented dudes and dudettes on here - you're one of them!
Jim
thanks for the positive feed back folks that's what keeps me posting .
This is a song I do not know very well so I have listened to the original a few times and 'had a go'. The drum and bass are courtesy of Band-in-a-Box but the guitars are me:

Now I will listen to everyone else's versions (and probably wish I had not put mine up).
Roger
OK I have just listened to everyone else's versions and, out of the now four versions here, I put mine at 27th......
Jan. Wow! It works great with the uke and you have a smashing voice.
Joe. Brill! Great to hear a 'bluesy' version of this song, it works well.
Mojo. Super! Another different take on this song and you did a great job with it.
I enjoyed listening to all three of these versions. Well done to all of you.
Roger
One day I'm going to figure out how to put backing tracks on my stuff. Until then I'll leave it to the experts. Great job Mr Guppy!

Roger.......... Awesome, totally different again. That is what is so awesome about us all having ago at these covers, how each of us does it so differently and they are all good! And you are definately NOT 27th!!! I have never heard of Band in a box by the way, is it any thing like audacity (which i have downloaded but never used yet!).
All the covers are good in their own way.
Great to see several versions.
Non are the best or worst they are just different, which is how it should be.
congratulations all of u.
Thanks easybeat and agree
Any one else going to attempt this one before the next one starts in June? I have loved all the versions so far, been fantastic hearing them.
I had an attempt at Junes song as I know quite a lot of NY stuff. Only problem is when I played it back , I realise I have the type of voice that would send a glass eye to sleep. Has anyone got any spare helium?
I'm still hoping to give it a shot! Hopefully I can make it before the month's out!

haha love it ... glass eye to sleep!!
NY, he does have that kinda nasal or yeah helium sound to him (suits him though). I may have to attempt this one with a peg on my nose to get the sound effects

Cool hope so mekidsmom
That sounds like a good name fo a new musical movement the. Sleeping Glass Eyed Club.
I DID IT! I got the song recorded AND uploaded in MAY!
This shouldn't seem like such a daunting task, but well, it is for me sometimes. LOL! Anyhow, I kept screwing up the words or chords in the SAME PLACE every stinking time. Since I don't like to edit a whole lot, I just kept recording over and over again. Then the kids were laughing at me, which didn't help the situation at all. I still messed up on this final recording but it is what it is. I was starting to get a little too goofy.

(Blushing). Ha ha! Yeah, this song was tricky for me, having no real strong moments in it. When I can't make up for that in song, I do it with my face! Ha ha ha!
Thanks you guys!
Nice Amy!
