Nice Ron, well done. And you have great taste in music too!
And its tuned BFD! Now theres some irony......
And another thing, I was grooving to this theme to a TV show I was kind of half watching, got it stuck in my head and had to check and see what it was......
Damn you Fogerty!
Hey nice one Mr Oily.... Fab playing and great voice...thanks for sharing.
Thx, Steve!
Nicely played and sung Oily! (-:
Thanks y'all! @c# merle: I love Dylan's work, but Dylan's younger singing voice is about half outside my normal vocal range, without falsetto. I'm a "straddler" - a bass-baritone, who can also sometimes sing the lower half of the tenor scale if suffiociently warmed up. I pretty much give up when I have to go above D or E an octave above middle C. Something to do with my nasal passages; my nose was broken twice as a kid and once as an adult. So I live in the lower frequency rumbly spaces. I could transpose some Dylan to a lower key, and work it there. Hmm.
Anyhoo, next up vidwise will be the blues original I intend to give to Dan Sleep for his 2012 CBN blues compilation album. Still learning to play and sing it at the same time, and get over this cold so I can scream a little. Maybe in a coupla three weeks...
Very well done Ron! Thank you for posting this.
very nice rendition. your voice has a cool melancholy vibe to it - in a good way!!
love to hear you try something like this:-
guitars a beauty too.
I didn't know that song but right away I like it a lot. Very nicely sung and excellent playing and thanks also for the education.
