August 2023 FSOTM: Ticket, Memory, Water, Winter, Wine, Picture (Page 2 of 2)

Bryan weve   had  the  heaters  on  today    ,British summer  time   LOL     

Jim  I  always  like  the  way  you  try  and  fit  all  the  words  of  the  challenge  into  a  song  .I'd  like  to  hear   it  sung  though  ,Not  being  a  great  Buddy  Holly  fan  I  haven't  found  the  rhythm or  the  tempo  for  this  one yet  that  suits  my  voice or  style , but   I'll  give  it  another   try  and  get  into  the  groove  shortly     

Grah

Richard you made that song your own and it came out good.     

Peatle, there were so many lines in that song I liked and appreciated.   I thought as I listened and read the lyrics, WOW!  Simple words, simple meaning, from the heart to his lady.  I actually re-read the lyrics, loved it!  Also, Peatle aside to the actual song and lyrics, I want to congratulate you on how you not only write songs and perform them, but how you take the time and effort to put it all together with pictures. 

neophytte, thats actually quite a hard song to sing, I know as I have tried to sing it in the past.  It sounds a simple song but it's harder than you think because of how the song drops quite low in places.  I think you did a good job overall but in places in the song, maybe the chords a bit too low for your vocals.  I would be interested to hear you do this song in a different key for those low notes.  Otherwise, you sang it well and of course played it well on guitar.  Nice job.
neophytte, i enjoyed watching and listening to that one with Al on the autoharp.  Great to see you jamming with a fellow musician and what a smiling man Al is, obviously enjoying playing and singing this one with you.  I actually have a autoharp that my father gave me.  I have fiddled with it and can play it but I need to learn to play it without looking at the keys lol.  Thanks for sharing that one.

Grah1, good performance, vocals good on this one, it suited your style.  Lots of rain by the looks too. 

easybeat, that one was good, bounced along nicely, foot tapping, guitar awesome as always.

TIGLJK, you did it again, all the words!  Great song you have written again, you really do have a talent for writing songs.  I wish I was so good with words.

Laugh Lots ... Forgive Much ...  Love one another

Thanks - was that for California Dreamin' or Cheap Wine?

Thanks for that - like I mentioned, it's Al's song, I just joined in - we were hoping to do a duo performance in the future, but can't seem to line up some rehearsal time. It's an interesting instrument - you kind of pluck at it, and deaden the non-relevant strings for that chord.

Cheers

Richard
