Mine is very nearly ready , lurksalittle has recorded some superb extra vocals, but I had a bit of a production problem last night. For some reason the left and right channels seem to have flipped. I must’ve done something and I can’t work out what it was, anyway, researching it for about 40 minutes last night, I still couldn’t suss it out. I got up this morning went to my computer and put the headphones on the right way round ..DOH !

I find that as soon as a holiday arrives, the stress levels chill out and the viruses move in. it just seems to happen that way , need to find a relaxing way of keeping up the motivational stress levels for the holidays.

that’s a bold statement 😉

go 7.1 full Dolby surround sound or ….. wait for it ….. MonoBassAlpha I thank you

The eldest can help play some of it I guess , he is in your band after all 😁

Bummer , that SoundCloud thing could prove an issue while we are posting covers , though we haven’t noticed it before. i guess that’s AI doing the VAR and making a hash of it 😁

When we were younger ? some of us think we still have one 😄

EXTC tonight, superb , you are absolutely spot on Steve , a great player, really at ease as a great frontman and certainly seemed to be enjoying himself , a brilliant evening.

I had an idea , and lo, auto tune, should save the day , Lurksalittle might even contribute some harmonies. She has heard my practice warbling and isn’t overly disturbed by it , she thinks the lyrics suit my personality to a tee. In fact, it’s not far off done , I usually draw a blank until the last minute and then rush it , this time it won’t be such a panic, but that doesn’t mean the playing or production will be any better 😂

OK Y'all Fill your boots

🎄 December Cover Song Challenge 🎄 As is tradition, we're doing something a bit different for December... so instead of composing to a photo, we're running a covers competition. Basically, choose a song or instrumental that you like and write your own version of it. You can be faithful to the original or completely ruin it and get creative; the choice is yours. All of the usual rules apply with a few additional caveats: 🎅 It doesn't have to be a Christmas song. 🎅 You're welcome to submit anything recorded this year (not just from December), so there's no excuse for those of you in cover bands not to enter. 🎅 Don't go lifting any samples from whatever song you intend to cover, as that will breach the usual terms and conditions leading to extreme punitive measures. 🎅 This is the only time of year that bagpipes are allowed! But that still doesn't make them right. The deadline for entries is midnight on December 23rd.

Congratulations to @Jean-Luc Pickguard a worthy winner indeed. If you hold on to the choice of photo, we will use it for January. December traditionally being a cover challenge , with a track you have recorded this year or have a chance to before 24th ish. I will put up the thread soon this morning

Ah Bollocks , just saw the timestamp , would have had a look next week!

😂 ah yes, the rubber stringed hand-me-down , that I too had played for cool Mr Quigley in various folky type arrangements of praising songs at assemblies and the like, prior to our kid picking it up. my first live performance however , was at Romford working men’s club. My uncle Dave played Keys in pop covers band back in the 60s and 70s and they would occasionally play afternoons at various social clubs and the like at weekends. On one occasion we were attending and I got thrown up there to massacre Mouldy old Dough when I was about 10 or 11. I don’t know if that still haunts me or I remember it through pride , probably the former, but didn’t seem to put me off 😂
