Re: July 2016 Featured Song - Wagon Wheel & Down on the Corner
Ok here is my attempt at WAGON WHEEL.
I struggled vocally with this song to be honest, it definitely suits a male voice in my opinion .... I probably should have tried it in a different chord. I am also playing guitar on this one and I am re-learning guitar which I haven`t played much in years. Ok, that is all my excuses over with and except to say, we need some females here having ago at these songs too
I changed the word 'Momma' to 'Baby for obvious reasons.
I have a friend of mine joining me, she is playing the harmonic and banjo bits. My daughter is playing the Cajon.

Well done Joe and Jan another two cracking versions of these songs. Nice to rope in some extra musicians for yours Jan.

Re: July 2016 Featured Song - Wagon Wheel & Down on the Corner
Ditto Rogers Sentiment!
Excellent job Joe and Jan (and crew). How nice to get a few others to join in with you Jan!!!
Joe as always, your playing is infectious. It makes me want to grab my guitar and play along. You're a true entertainer all the way around. (I hope there was a pick in your hand. If not, I can see why your poor finger tops are in so much pain!)
What constitutes excellent music is in the ears of the listener.
Re: July 2016 Featured Song - Wagon Wheel & Down on the Corner
Thanks everyone!
There was not a pick in my hand. Trying to figure out this new strumming thing.
Re: July 2016 Featured Song - Wagon Wheel & Down on the Corner
Roger ............. thanks for that generous comment and yes it was great to get the girls to help make this song more interesting and it was fun
Belinda is learning the harmonica and doing a great job of it. I have to say, it was the girls who did well in this recording I honestly did NOT, the words came out rushed, I couldn`t quite fit them in with the timing and they were unclear to hear in parts and overall not suited to me ..... it would have been nice to have had more time to rehearse it with the girls ..... maybe next time But the main thing is ...........I had a go at it

Amy ........... thanks for that and yes it was fun to have the girls join in with this one. See my comments above to Roger re: that song
I have recorded the other song as well which i will upload to sound cloud soon which the girls helped me with too, we did both yesterday when they were here

Ok my second song ~Down on The Corner~ is on Sound Cloud. Again the girls helped me do this cover. Vocals/ukulele/kazoo by me, friend Belinda on harmonica, my daugher on Nicola on cajon and little wash board.
Had fun .... probably a bit too fast to begin with.

I saw you had a comment about more practice. BAH! Practice is for sissies! Not when you can have your girls over and jam a while. It sounded like you were having fun, and fun is what this whole music thing is about.

First off I want to thank you Jan for starting this thing.
I have enjoyed listening to all the contributions and I look forward to next month.
Re: July 2016 Featured Song - Wagon Wheel & Down on the Corner
Wagon Wheel. I tried to do a reggae thing (which I will eventually figure out) but for now just a chill jam.
