FEBRUARY 2023 FSOTM - FRUIT, ANIMALS or VEHICLES

Well, that was a surprise neo, I wasn`t thinking of Ships for vehicles when I suggested vehicles lol but your right, I guess it is a type of vehicle Thats a song that I like too.   In the original version the guitar work in it is awesome, and I never could find a link anywhere to learn play it like the original.  Well done, you played it well and much slower than my version of it.  I played it fairly fast to make it a bit different as I couldn't match Neils guitar skills or even try to copy him.

here is my entry for FSOM it's called Caribbean Dream it's reggae and I've just finished recording it, it's a full recording not stripped down. It has fruit and a mode of transport in it. Hope you (the members) like it. ta.

That was a very appropriate song for this month neo, had lots of animals in it, so good choice of song.  Hey nice bit of reverb on this one by the sounds.  Looks like you perform at that place quite a lot.

Grah1, lol well I think a wasp is an insect but it`s a living creature, it moves and since you decided to join in this month, we will let it in lol    Yep it was a bit dark in the video, so hard to see the performers but then I guess some bands do that anyway when they perform don't they.  I found it a bit hard to hear the lyrics in places if I am honest with you, but maybe it's just my hearing, it would be interesting to hear what others on here thought about that.  The music was good, you all played well.

Wow, that was terrific, some of the stand outs were the bass line and the horns - everything was mixed really nicely and had a good all round feel to the end product. Are you doing all this in the box, or with other musicians?

The song sounded good, but, as with all rehearsal videos, the sound kinda drifts in and out. I tried looking the words up on Google, but could only find another (live?) video of a different band playing the same song, which was unfortunately around the same quality.

Thanks for the compliment; yes, perform there monthly and I'm on the committee, so quite involved with them.

Stray cats: I liked that shaker in the background, are you getting people to join you, or using a multi-tracker in some form to get some other instruments in there? When I was first listening to it, I thought I hadn't heard it, but as I got further in, it felt familiar, so maybe I have heard it before, but just didn't give it a lot of attention ... anyway, it was a nice rendition!!

Yellow bird: You are correct with the key being a bit high for your voice, you sounded a bit strained, but (mostly) covered that over effectively. This song sounded a bit more rushed than the stray cats one, but a good effort nonetheless!!

Cheers

Jan I enjoyed both recordings. Stray cats was by a band called stray cats, coincidence?  Great rendition by the way. Yellow bird if I remember correctly was by MIcky and Griff?. The only part I thought was too high was the outro. I normally find that when I sing in the house I tend to restrict my voice so as not to cause neibours earache! Best way to record your voice is to stand up ànd forget the locals.

As for my recordings I play all the instruments my self, the horns are from the horn section on my keyboard. Thanks.     

Thanks, Phill, for having a listen and the feedback.  I used to let rip a bit more with the vocals as the neighbors all worked, so it wasn't a problem.  However, these days, both my neighbors are home during the day, so I am a bit more aware of them being able to hear me, so I don't feel as free to sing loudly and openly as I used too lol
