Members bigald18 Posted February 14, 2010 Members Share Posted February 14, 2010 Hi every one. Finally got around to doing another VOM. My entry for this month is an old traditional blues song called "Things About Comin My Way." It's about a poor guy thats so broke and can't seem to catch up no matter how hard he tries. The song doesn't start until about 30 seconds into the take due to my own professional recording abilities but it is there. Be patient.vom.infocusreviews.com/index.php?p=play&id=bigald18/Things_About_Comin_My_Way_1.mp3BigAl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Surrealistic Posted February 14, 2010 Members Share Posted February 14, 2010 Okay - here's my first ever VOM entry. We (wife & I) wrote this song for a female singer friend but we don't have her version yet. This is a quick recording I made today of the song - hope you'll excuse the less than perfect playing and occasional bum note in my vocal. I've been working away for the past two weeks and haven't picked my guitar up in that time! Okay, enough with the excuses, here it is:Silhouette Words & music :Keith & Lily Foster Performed by: Keithhttp://www.surrealisticpenguin.ryepress.com/music/Silhouette14-Feb-2010.mp3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members chriscarnucci Posted February 14, 2010 Members Share Posted February 14, 2010 Morning all! I didn't have much time this month to get something together, so I just vomited this out! It's Pigs on the Wing, by Pink Floyd. (a couple different ones )It's as close to a love song as Pink Floyd writes, so I at least tried to stay with the holiday vibe. I already got through some of the submissions for this month and so far its another great month!Hope you all like it...http://vom.infocusreviews.com/index.php?p=play&id=chriscarnucci/Pink_Floyd_-_Pigs_on_the_Wing__Acoustic_Cover-03.mp3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Oldskool Texas Posted February 14, 2010 Members Share Posted February 14, 2010 Queequeg: I envy your chops. Really nice, and that guitar sounds great! TBryson: I like your upbeat version of this classic; one of my favorite Beatles tunes. Well done. Knockwood: Fantastic singing and playing; I think you captured the melancholy vibe of the song without milking the pathos. Tastefully done. Lifestarts: Ambitious song, but you really did a fine job here. Great consistency throughout! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bigald18 Posted February 14, 2010 Members Share Posted February 14, 2010 Been listening and here's what I've got so far:Queequeg - As always, great playing. Love that hollow body!Black Hat Hunter - I really liked the performance with the gravelly sound in your voice.T Bryson - Nice Beatles cover!g6120 - I was never a Zombies fan, but I sure liked your cover!Chicken Monkey - Johnny Cash was my hero.Fendouglas - Nice cover for a great performer.Samilyn - Hope you're feeling better soon. That's such a nice song.rhancox - I'd show your video to my wife but she'd want me to do something like it. Great Valentines Day card!Fussenkuh - Sounds much better than last time. Never heard of CoC though.Stackabones - Nice one Chris, really enjoyed it.BigAl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Starrshine Posted February 14, 2010 Members Share Posted February 14, 2010 This is my valentine's day entry, which I dedicate to my lovely wife. A song written by Neil Diamond, done in my own style. Recorded with my Guild and hammered dulcimer.

Members Chicken Monkey Posted February 14, 2010 Members Share Posted February 14, 2010 Queequeg--great arrangement! I love this tune. Blackhat--As much as I want to compliment your performance, I'm WAAAY more interested in how you set your blog up... Do you need to buy extra space to imbed a YouTube clip? tbryson--I thought this would be a really hard one to do--you pulled it off. If only you could hit those high notes... Gil--This is another one I've tried to do, but couldn't make the arrangement work. You are a better man than me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chicken Monkey Posted February 14, 2010 Members Share Posted February 14, 2010 fendouglas--haven't heard this one. I'm going to look it up, though--my interest is piqued.Sammilyn-- builds really nicely.rhancox--All those guitars really sit well together. I didn't hear the first version, but this sounds really good to me.Fussen--I don't know this song, but it sounds good. Your vocals have a Tay Zonday quality to them :poke:. It looks like you're using a single mic (or the computer's built-in)--if so, bring it up a bit so it picks up more vocal and less guitar. Otherwise, turn up the vocal.Stack--really like the lyric. I read through it a few times before listening. The music was not what I was picturing, but it's a very cool arrangement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guildfire Posted February 14, 2010 Members Share Posted February 14, 2010 Man, I can never remember how to attach this stuff. Hope this works. I'm really looking forward to listening to everyone's stuff again.Title: Can't Find My Way HomeCredits: Blind FaithPlayed on a Gibby SJ-100, recorded into a spanking new Zoom H2. Recording on this thing is terrifically easy. I still cannot figure out how to do the simplest edits, though. Can't even manage to open an H2 file in GarageBand... I'm frickin' hopeless, folks.http://www.soundclick.com/bands/page_songInfo.cfm?bandID=1020866&songID=8699612 Nice track. One of my favorite songs.

Members Whalebot Posted February 14, 2010 Members Share Posted February 14, 2010 I have no voice...so I recorded this without it. I am reaaallly sick, but this came out kinda cool/funny. Enjoy. It is called Carolina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members poppytater Posted February 14, 2010 Members Share Posted February 14, 2010 This is awful. I know it's awful. I recorded it with a mic from my $20 mini cassette voice recorder stuck inside my guitar, the only way it would pick up. I can play this song much better, believe or not. Wnen I tried to record it, everything went to hell, the more I tried, the worse it got. This is about the 23rd try and one of the worse. So you may ask, why post it and take up valuable space on the VOM? For me, to push myself to be a better player. It's kinda like being a contestant of that t.v. show, Biggest Loser, I'm standing on the scale with my shirt off, in front of the world, hoping the experience will help me shape up. Besides, if I force myself to sit in the front row, maybe I'll learn a little more.

Members knockwood Posted February 14, 2010 Members Share Posted February 14, 2010 Haven't had a chance to listen to everything yet, and I've been cut short here - wife keeps nagging me about today being some kind of special occasion. :poke: No idea what she's on about...Anyway, I've been really enjoying this so far and hope to get to listen to the rest later today.QueequegOnce again, a great VOM opener! Lovely. I'm really beginning to envy your git collection, not to mention your picking. One day, perhaps I'll be able to use more than two fingers for something other than shoving pizza into my pie hole - which really pisses off the pie people.BlackHatHunterNice! Great singing & love the overall tone - both vocal and git. Have you considered buying a Tele?TBryson One of my favorite Beatles songs. I enjoy your Beatles covers - always a unique personal rendition, never attempted carbon copies.GilWell done, yo.Chicken MonkeyTerrific vocals and love the git tone.FendouglasWow. What a great voice! Love the harp, too. Some day I must get my {censored} together to play git & harp simultaneously - I'm still struggling with walking and thinking at the same time... Seriously, killer voice.SamiDamn, girl! I kept thinking how I'd love to have that tune on continuous play and get stoned out of my mind. Loved it.rhancoxNicely done!FussenKuhExcellent incorporation of your head in the video! Not familiar with the group/tune, but I like this quite a lot. Great-sounding Epi, and well played! What's up with the tag on the headstock?StackI really, really REALLY dug this. Great lyrics and tune. Damn, I wish I could compose like that. I blame you. I may ask your permission to perform it (totally all right if you tell me to GTFO), if I ever again get up the nads to play for anyone other than my cats.IllinihoopsI cannot fathom why, but I could not get this to play more than a couple seconds. I'm using Soundclick myself, so it makes no sense whatsoever. Will keep trying.OldSkoolTexasAltogether Awesome. Every detail. Writing, vocals, playing, recording. Holy crap, man.

Members Michael Martin Posted February 14, 2010 Members Share Posted February 14, 2010 Well this is weird. I posted a song last night just after midnight and it vanished. It was right after Fuss. I take this as a sign that instead of the just-written and just-recorded love-gone-wrong woe-is-me song I attempted to post previously, I'm going to man up and post something that commemorates a close friend who died very unexpectedly at age 31 just about exactly three years ago. It came up on my Shuffle this aft when I went for a run in the snow. Surely that is a sign. Missy (Melisse) Lange was a truly extraordinary person. Every February brings her back to me and I STILL can't believe she's gone. I wrote three songs just after she died; this was the third. It was recorded by my friend Dan, who has a great basement recording set-up--no idea what software etc. he uses. I know he had a REALLY nice mike, and he wasn't used to it, and I had a cold that day, so forgive the heavy breathing. One take, just me, my bare thumb, and my Yammie jumbo. http://www.box.net/shared/e1opl8q966 A picture of Missy, playing her guitar: http://www.box.net/shared/142214bdsc Come My Way Again Wicked cold February dayHalf a life awayA thousand years agoA lifetime to rememberNever comes the dayDays are getting longer Longer than they used to be but I can still recallEvery single thing We were in a garden it was early in the springI was thinking once again I was such a lucky manWill you ever come my way again Angeline lay down your gunI am not the oneThis is not the wayHe is really goneHe was never thereIt was all a dreamIt was just a semi-precious love affair that's allDo I have to nail it to the wallCautionary taleCarefully constructed and guaranteed to failWalk away/let the music play Melisse/God it feels so strangeMaybe in a thousand years everything will changeEverything I knowEverything I knewAll of it was realBut none of it came trueAnywhere you areWe will be connected by the starsI can still recall almost every little thingEarly in the springWe were in a gardenWill you ever come my way again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Queequeg Posted February 14, 2010 Members Share Posted February 14, 2010 BlackHatHunter- When I listen to this I understand that I have really neglected the works of the great artist in Guy Clark.Man, you got that whiskey voice for it too. Fantastic.tbryson- Dude, you got that whole Beatles catalog committed to memory, don't you? This is one of my favorites. Great job on it, too.g6120- hey my brother, I remember that song too. Well done, Gil. Thanks for the 60s flashback.Chicken Monkey-Thought I knew most of the Cash musical library but this was a new one to me. Great job.Fendouglas- Happy Birthday, man. Harry Chapin was a genius.Thanks for lighting a candle under this one. Glad you got to see him before he left us. I never had that pleasure.Samilyn-I'm picturing horses with riders working their way through a narrow slot canyon. This is film soundtrack stuff. I'm getting serious visuals from this. bravo!rhancox- What a nice thing to do for your wife on Valentines Day. Great video. Nice touch by including all the still shots. 12-string sounds wonderful this afternoon.FussenKuh- Corrosion of what? Don't mind me, I'm an old timer. Cool song, well played with plenty of good singing.Stackabones- man, there is simply no genre you won't wrestle to the mat and conquer. Blame it on plenty of talent.illinihoops- especially like the impressionist chords under the vox on this one. on an iphone? holy crap. what will those guys come up with next?Oldskool Texas- wish I could write songs like this. The bass is really good on this song. Love the guitar solo/break too. this is very good.Glenn F- dig it man. I got a sneak preciew on this one but I just had to listen again. kudos out.Knockwood- I always liked this BF tune. You killed on this one; complete with hauting string bends. Your vocals are better than the original by Steve Winwood.I'll listen to more later on. Great stuff (once again) this month alla youse guys!
