Re: MAY 2022 - GHOST, GHOSTS, WOMAN and MAN

TIGLJK,  great song you have written once again, your writing skills always amaze me, a great gift you have there.  I hope we get someone to cover this one, it is thought provoking, contemplative.  I look forward to hearing this one covered.

Peatle, you can post as many as you like each month, no restrictions smile  I like the lyrics in this one, very contemplative, reflection, thoughtful.  Is that your good lady on piano?

Cheers Jan. That is me playing piano on that one. If Maree had played on that the piano would have been far more better than what I can do. Maree has stopped playing the piano and I don't think she has played anything for about two years now.

Re: MAY 2022 - GHOST, GHOSTS, WOMAN and MAN

Although I put them in the suggestion thread, here are links to my two versions of "Ghost Train":

With my son: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wHXdexbjZYM

With half the band: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykU4-zd1Ifk

Solo live in '95: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3iYMaBi_T2Y

Enjoy!

Re: MAY 2022 - GHOST, GHOSTS, WOMAN and MAN

I missed April so I didn't want to miss May as well.

I was at a "barn" jam Monday night. It's quite literally a barn that this fellow turned into a huge music room; complete with a bar, a stage, and all the sound equipment you could ask for. He does this every 6-8 weeks. He's in the process of installing a kitchen and bathroom also. The only thing missing is the animals. Lol! The lighting is very subdued so the quality is a bit lacking but it a great setting for an open jam.

So here is my rendition of Eric Clapton's "Promises." On stage with me is Paul on the harmonica, Jerry on the box drum, and our host Frank on the bass.

Jim your song writing as always of a high standard.
Jan your voice and ukulele hit the mark perfectly.
Richard was good to hear and see the three different versions of your song.
Uncle Joe enjoyed seeing and hearing you and your band it looks like a perfect venue to play the owner has come up with a good way of doing things.

Re: MAY 2022 - GHOST, GHOSTS, WOMAN and MAN

Firstly thanks Brian, James and Peatle for having a listen to my version of Ghost Rider, appreciate the feedback.

Secondly TIGLJK, I have tried and tried to play your song but to no avail, its just not working for me sadly, I cant seem to get it to flow sad

Neophytte, thanks for reposting your song here in this month rather than suggestions, that helps me when I list the songs each month for the over all monthly entrants smile

unclejoesband, looks like you had lots of fun at that gig.  What a great setup by the looks and to get to perform with a bunch of mates, is what its all about.  I would love to do something like that smile

Sorry Jandle, I saw your other post and realized I hadn't listened to, or commented on, this recording. I remember seeing it, so I was probably at work, and it depends on how lazy or busy I am as to whether I get the headphones out of my bag or wait until I get home. Then distractions happen ...

Anyway, the introductory notes felt a bit rough (not sure how easy or hard they would be on a uke), but once you got into the strumming it felt a lot more confident, I liked the overall feel of it there ....

And I know I did listen to this one at work ... I was surprised how big the barn is, and all the instruments on the walls!! Was also surprised at the tempo you did it at; I usually go quite fast on this song (and you missed the F#->G slide thingy!!), but it was great to see so many people out having fun and making music, because that is what life is all about!!

Cheers

Re: MAY 2022 - GHOST, GHOSTS, WOMAN and MAN

Thanks for feedback neophytte, yeah that intro with the picking is the first time I have played it, I normally just strum the whole song, so still practicing when it comes to picking.

Re: MAY 2022 - GHOST, GHOSTS, WOMAN and MAN

Here`s another quick (and I mean quick)  recording I did this afternoon in between housework lol, a few little mistakes in it but just recorded on a break before starting the vacuuming (anything to delay the vacuuming *sigh*).  I didnt muck around re-recording as got to much to do today.  It has the word MAN in it.

When I learned it 30 some years ago, it was a very  low point in life and that's how it came out back then. Guess I never really gave much thought to the tempo. It's just how I was feeling at the time and I've always played it that way. The "F# > G thingy?" Never even knew it was there until you pointed it out. Lol!!

Jan
That sounds awesome. 
You have such a unique voice and just a bit of an accent ( at least to me) that enhance it greatly.
Beautifully done.

Thanks so much Jim, appreciate the listen and comments smile  When we were in Canada many years ago and lived there for a few months, all the Canadians kept saying I had a strong accent lol
