Thank you ... I did this one a while ago, but felt it needed to be re-done to add some effects to the vocals ...

Cheers

Ok here is my entry that easybeat challenged me too.  I had a  bit of free time tonight to learn it,  practice it a little bit and record it.  Actually easybeat, when I listened to Frank Sinatra singing it, I didn't know the song at all really, it was not what I was thinking it was.  Anyway, I had to do it tonight or not at all as I am babysitting my 2 yr old grandson for 3 weeks and today and tonight was my only child free day to do anything this month.  Also, I have never really tried to play Jazz before, that in itself will take me a while to learn how to play properly.  So I am not sure it sounds very Jazzy to be honest, and the vocals aren't the best in places as I am not that familiar with this song.  It is another song that I wouldn`t mind having another go at but I had to stop, it was getting late and the neighbours probably aren't impressed!

As usual Jan your voice sounds great.  To do that song Jazzy with a ukulele would be hard even for a Jazz singer. I like your folky version. It is  hard for a vocalist  , playing their  own backing to jazz up and yet keep that tempo.     I should imagine the 7th chords would be hard to play on a Ukulele.

Classical Guitar thank you for your kind comments. I always enjoy reading your knowledgeable insights into music and guitar.     

neo ....... thanks for comments, I think I probably could have done with some distortion on this one as I failed to make it jazzy lol.  Oh well, can`t win them all   Challenge accepted re   these ~Boots are made for walking~ IF I can get time this weekend as looking after my 2 yr old grandson is keeping me full on presently.

Peatle .... thanks for your comments.  Yes I agree with you, it easier to try and sing jazz with someone else playing the instruments and then you can just concentrate on singing jazz.  Both singing it and playing jazz are new to me ............ I have a long way to go learning to do it properly I think.  Yes I think your right, it sounds more folky

Hmm, just tried them again, and they both worked for me ... ? Did you want to try again??     

Thanks .... maybe that's why Jandle couldn't reach my links ...     

Ok back from holiday, so having a catch up tonight.

neo ........... managed to get on tonight to listen, must have been a clinch somewhere in the system when I tried last time.  Ditto to what Peatle said, you give everything ago which in itself is great.  I thought of the two covers Crazy was the better.  I liked the the way you strummed it too.  The other song You and Me you covered seemed a lot harder as the vocals were a lot deeper in the chord you were singing it in.  A hard song to sing I think, so points for having a go at it

Roger.......... no worries, totally understand what busy is ..... it's been crazy busy here for the last 6 weeks here for me too.  Just when you get time, put it up as we would love to hear it 

As for your challenge to me for These Boots neo, I just haven't had time but I will attempt it at some stage when I have caught up with stuff here at home and post it
