Topic: FEVER
This song dates back to the early 50's but I decided to give it a fresh coat of paint. We haven't come up with a name for the band yet but no hurry

Re: FEVER
That arrangement sort of happened on the spot I wanted to do something different to the song more of a rock sound with some blues thrown it thanks for watching and for taking time to comment

Good stuff Russell. I always enjoy listening to you play.
Live in the "now" - a contentment of the moment - the past is gone - the future doesn't exist - all we ever really have is now and it's always "now".

Re: FEVER
Thank you TF I think there are tons of songs just waiting to be re-worked most of todays music I don't listen to just not my cup of tea, and it is great to have a pad to rehearse at that is in the woods surrounded by no near by neighbors to complain about volume.

Re: FEVER
Very well done Russell! Much bluesier and growlier than the 1965 McCoys version.

Re: FEVER
DE much appreciated, My Les Paul Deluxe has natural sustain and I am getting a nice balance from both amps I have one set on clean and the Marshal on overdrive the Boss ME-50 adds the delay, chorus and overdrive (if needed)

Re: FEVER
Thanks for your comments on my You Tube channel PJ, one of the things we talked about when we decided to get together was taking a different approach in our treatment of some of the songs (tempo,genre etc.) we did not favor a cookie cutter approach like a cover band which opens the door to a lot of possibilities
