Ok, here is my attempt at the Cat Stevens song: https://youtu.be/sDch5Cn0tXw with apologies for the end ....

Here is my attempt at a Tom Petty song: https://youtu.be/hFStYoLEHlM

I don't know many Tom Petty songs, and was going to substitute it with a Travelling Wilbury's one ... but, this is what I have ... smile and a flower at the end ...

Cheers

Neo

Nicely done !

Having your son ( I assume)  give you flowers so innocently and unconditionally sincere made it fantastic!

Thanks for sharing

Thanks for the compliments ... yes, my second son was sitting with me at the beginning of the session and playing his recorder along - he went out the back to get some flowers (it's spring in Australia, so flowers are starting to bloom) for me ... he helped me out on a "Lola" cover smile

Beamer Your vocals work perfect on this one. That acoustic fits like a hand in a glove. Out of everything of yours I have heard so far that is my favourite.

I tried to leave a message on SoundCloud, but my tablet is pretty poor and I wasn't able to get it and me to coordinate well enough fast enough.  I love that you brought your own timing to it, and I agree that your voice worked well for the song and your arrangement.

Re: OCTOBER 2017 FSOTM – CAT STEVENS – TOM PETTY

Ok ............. got through listening to them all smile

neophytte .........  enjoyed your cover of Father and Son, well played and i liked the picking bits you did on guitar smile  Your 2nd song with your son was well done.   Your son did well as he had learnt the song off by heart by the looks (couldn't see him reading music at anytime) and his timing with the little shaker was on point!  He has an ear that boy of yours smile

easybeat .............. very original!  I liked the conversational commentary through it with the reverb on.  The message was definitely food for thought lol  smile

Beamer ...... wow your first one with the 15 attempts, you sure  gave it the heavy metal distorted treatment for sure smile  Your second song ~You don`t now how it feels~ i liked very much and thought that style suited you .... would like to hear more from you in this style smile

Re: OCTOBER 2017 FSOTM – CAT STEVENS – TOM PETTY

Zurf ............. nice soft touch, gently sung, well done smile

Thanks Peatle for your comments smile  My leg now at 12 weeks on is still in a brace which i am hoping the orthopaedic surgeon will let me take off this Monday coming when I see him and hoping i can start to finally walk on it.  Will need physio though when i can walk as my leg won`t completely bend or straighten out.  Its been a long journey smile
