I added a video for "All's not fair", which is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-d-Plzd5RIs

It wasn't as successful as I would have liked; getting the video to match the guitar parts was hard (and having my 7yo doing the videoing was possibly not the best move), but I've put it up, warts and all ....

Cheers

Nice to watch visually in the woods neophytte, your son did well to put that together together for you at age 7 years!  Not sure what sound effects you had on with the vocals but it reminded me of the David Bowie era on some of his songs where he had a similar kind of effect on his vocals.  Well done.

Roger I enjoyed listening to that one.  I haven't actually heard of the song before you covered it, so a new song to me.  I will try to find time to listen to the original at some stage but from just hearing your version, you did it well.

Re: APRIL 2022 - THE WORLD

Oh that was great zurf, I thoroughly enjoyed it.   I was singing along with you and tapping my foot.  You covered that song so well, no apologies needed to Cat Stevens at all.  Loved the visual too, it was great to see you in action and it was neat to hear about the guitar as well.  Loved it smile

Thanks Peatle, I appreciate you listening and comments smile    I did hit a couple of bum notes in that song but considering it was a rush to record it as it was so late, I wasn't going to muck around and keep re-recording it.  It was quite a fun song to cover smile
