Practicing this song for the Cigar Box Nation does Neil Young Album. I often like to video my practices so I can critique what I'm doing. It's sometimes pain...

Thanks Cris. Thanks to your Madonna song I'm working up an arrangement of Cyndi L's Time After Time.

Wow, thanks Matt. That might be the most useful constructive critique I've had in a long time! This isn't exactly the version I sent in but close enough that your observations are still valid. Every now and then what I imagine in my head for a song comes out but more often I keep wanting to do another take. That's what I did on this song until the takes kept getting further from what I wanted. Thanks for the good points.

Jim I really like it. But I think you could bring it home a little differently. What I mean is what if you sang it like you were giving advice to your son or daughter or someone who is feeling it for the first time. A little more world weary. Don't think twice its all right comes to mind. Dylan's version is so different in tone to the Peter Paul and Mary version and some how for me it rings more true. Now if it is already done I would not worry about it your voice is beautiful on it just as it is. I am just re imagining it that way. Really fine playing and you sell great right here I am probably just day dreaming. Great job....matt
