Members garthman Posted April 17, 2018 Members Share Posted April 17, 2018 Hello everyone. Another late start, sorry - spending a few days in County Durham. This months submission is a short instrumental of an Incredible String Band song called "First Girl I Loved". Written by Robin Williamson and I have no idea how he manages to sing as well as play this. "First Girl I Loved" by The Incredible String Band. https://app.box.com/s/xiebc2e7yfcuiyoatm7ts6ful2rsnkv5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Etienne Rambert Posted April 18, 2018 Members Share Posted April 18, 2018 Lovely playing Garthman. One of my favorite movies came on TCM last night. It inspired this little ditty twelve years ago. I wrote & recorded it in a Saigon hotel room the day after watching the movie on late night TV. Suzy Wong is All Right It's one of my favorite movie scores by the very under-rated George Duning.

Members Idunno Posted April 19, 2018 Members Share Posted April 19, 2018 https://app.box.com/s/lpbw0cht2qaxpoj4lh432avyixjslces Minstrel Of The Dawn - Gordon Lightfoot. Apologies for the reverb. The amp was set for another venue and I didn't tweak it for the man cave. Usual rig of Yamaha classical>Fishman SA220>Zoom H4. This time the recording is a raw 1-take loaded from the Zoom H4 to box-dot-net without dragging it through a DAW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeepEnd Posted April 20, 2018 Members Share Posted April 20, 2018 Idunno - I haven't heard that in a good while. Trying to recall the last time. The change in tempo gives it your own stamp. Nicely done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Etienne Rambert Posted April 20, 2018 Members Share Posted April 20, 2018 DeepEnd: I'm not much of a Dylan fan but you you play & sing it very well. I'm no great singer. But I learned after watching clips of the Francis Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim TV special on Youtube, that singing was a form of acting. Sinatra really had that down. He was sitting in a chair. Yet, when he started singing - he started acting. With a line like this: "I'd go hungry, I'd go black and blue;I'd go crawling down the avenue;There isn't anything I wouldn't do,To make you feel my love;" That's tailor-made for a bit of dramatic acting. I've always thought there were two big questions about singing.1. Can you hit the note? (In your case - the answer is YES).2. Can you act the part? (I didn't learn that bit until watching Sinatra/Jobim)--- Idunno: I love Lightfoot's work. You do it very well. Your guitar playing was excellent & you did not neglect the subtle vocal dynamics Lightfoot always had in his best recordings. Good job.--DeepEnd: Unfortunately, the only vid I can find from that Sinatra-Jobim masterpiece is this one.My favorite cuts are CHANGE PARTNERS & BAUBLES & BEADS. But you can see the acting both by Sinatra & Jobim in this cut.

Members garthman Posted April 20, 2018 Author Members Share Posted April 20, 2018 Deep - you're probably right - it should have been this coming weekend - I glanced quickly at the calendar and thought the 1st was a Saturday (not Sunday) so that would have meant last weekend was the 3rd one of the month. Sorry for the confusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeepEnd Posted April 21, 2018 Members Share Posted April 21, 2018 catscurlyear - I've never been a big Pink Floyd fan but you guys did a great job covering that. So, are you singing lead on that or not? Inquiring minds want to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For whatever reason I find "Make You Feel My Love" difficult vocally, even though I can play it well enough. As for the lyrics, not to get preachy but they remind me of Christ demonstrating God's love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DeepEnd Posted April 22, 2018 Members Share Posted April 22, 2018 Hey, it's all good. It got me and some others off our collective butts and recording some music, which is what counts. I haven't contributed since February and I didn't want to let another month go by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Etienne Rambert Posted April 25, 2018 Members Share Posted April 25, 2018 Catscurl: Very tight. I’m no fan of classic rock. But the singing is good & the band plays it well. Thanks for your kind words. I've always thought of myself as having a decent voice but nowhere near Sinatra's orbit. For whatever reason I find "Make You Feel My Love" difficult vocally, even though I can play it well enough. As for the lyrics, not to get preachy but they remind me of Christ demonstrating God's love. My only point was the best singers know how to act w/ their voices.
