Members illinihoops Posted February 14, 2010 Members Share Posted February 14, 2010 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. Just tried uploading a new version, works for me but it is available for download if all else fails, thanks for the time of trying to listen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Buck62 Posted February 14, 2010 Members Share Posted February 14, 2010 Okay, I've never jumped in here before, so I'll give it a shot. Here's a song from a CD my partner and I did about 10 years ago. The song is called "The Guitar Song" It's a tune I wrote that was inspired by doing a lot of songwriting and shows with my old Yamaha FG-335. My partner plays real sweet lead acoustic on this and I play everything else (strummed acoustic part, bass and drums) and I also did all the vocals. When you click on the link, a different song will start playing, just click on the second song just below it. The recording quality isn't great because we had some cheap recording equipment at the time. But the music is still listenable. We used to play this song at shows and open jams and we also played it on a live radio broadcast. But I just couldn't find the live recording of it right now, as it's buried somewhere in our files. I gotta work tonight and I'm headed out the door right now. So I won't be back to check out everyone else's songs until after midnight CST. Until then, hope y'all like The Guitar Song...http://www.isound.com/mac_brothers Lyrics: I need a woman who understands... Although this guitar is second-hand, she's my first love, Oh yeah She's been with me through thick and thin We've been to hell and back again To the skies above... the skies above I play her soft and sweet so late at night She'll never let me down or put up a fight My sweet wooden lady, with your curves so fine Whenever I hold you, I lose all track of time Sweet wooden lady, so many stories to tell My lady you know me better than anyone else Now I'm on the road again Another city with my old friend and I'll sing some songs... As she plays along I'll play her soft, I'll play her loud There's nothing she loves more than a crowd... When they sing along, as we play our song I play her soft and sweet so late at night She'll never let me down or put up a fight My sweet wooden lady, with your curves so fine Whenever I hold you, I lose all track of time Sweet wooden lady, so many stories to tell My lady you know me better than anyone else Later on, afer the show Down the road at a small hotel Before I turn in, I want to play her again... Play her again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kwakatak Posted February 14, 2010 Members Share Posted February 14, 2010 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVwBB8P6xMY This song was co-written by Don Henley along with J.D. Souther (a long-time collaborator from Henley's days with the Eagles) and Mike Campbell of Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers. It originally appeared as the last and ultimate track on Henley's 1989 solo album "The End of the Innocence" and IMO closes it nicely. I chose this song for no other reason than I really like it and it speaks to me. It may not be the best choice for Valentine's Day, being that to me it's basically about moving on after breaking up but I like the bittersweet lyrics and the underlying message of healing behind them.

Members guitarist21 Posted February 14, 2010 Members Share Posted February 14, 2010 [YOUTUBE]id5kkoURf8s[/YOUTUBE] My apologies for being so absent lately. School is consuming my life (but only for 3 more months!) and I haven't been able to post. Here's my makeshift VOM entry, a submission for a contest at Berklee to be in the Guitar Department Showcase. I got in and it's March 9th, for all you New Englanders. This is Pete Huttlinger's version of Alabama Jubilee. Enjoy! Can't wait to find some time to listen to all your entries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ohioarrow Posted February 14, 2010 Members Share Posted February 14, 2010 The streaming player on the VOM Archive is incredible! Thanks, Joe!!! Your welcome..

Members Oldskool Texas Posted February 14, 2010 Members Share Posted February 14, 2010 Here is my first entry into the VOM. A song that I wrote a really long time ago and just recently re-recorded. Stunning vocals, bludog! Very professional performance, and a really cool original. (Oh, and yes, that was my fretless bass on mine - thanks for the compliments!)

Members bludog79 Posted February 14, 2010 Members Share Posted February 14, 2010 Hi Chordchunker - I love this cover. I am a big fan of old jazz standards and also do a lot of chord melody stuff myself. You really made this song your own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ohioarrow Posted February 15, 2010 Members Share Posted February 15, 2010 Helping out a new comer to the VOM - this post is for Maggie Garza: Title: Between You and MeArtist: Maggie GarzaGenre: Acoustic Pianohttp://vom.infocusreviews.com/index.php?p=play&id=Maggie_Garza/Between_You_And_Me.mp3About the Song: I had the words to this song saved on my computer for a couple of weeks before I decided they needed a melody. It's my first try at putting a song together. It was late, and my voice shows it. But I enjoyed writing/recording a song so much I'm going to do it again!Lyrics:You speakI hear youCalling me to something that's whole and trueI know your'e with meBut I need to hear you more clearlyWhere silence is sweetYour promises I do rememberI keep missing something;Keep talking to me!When there's nothing leftAt the end of the dayIt's you that's here with meEverything I am is between you and meI get tired of searchingMy uselessness weighs me downI need to shout that I'm here,But I can't make a soundWith you I'm no longer silentWith you all barriers are goneThe mundane is extraordinary And I'm thrilled to sing your song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Stackabones Posted February 15, 2010 Author Members Share Posted February 15, 2010 Alright! Maggie's in! Thanks, Joe! btw, I'm Maggie's sound engineer on her tune. We belong to the same parish, and we had a recording session at our church to record her voice & grand piano with my Zoom H4n. After I got the levels working and got a few bugs out of the Zoom, she knocked it out in one take. Pretty good first original song ever, Maggie.

Members LiFeStArTs@40 Posted February 15, 2010 Members Share Posted February 15, 2010 Poppy, you are braver than most and despite your self-condemnation vs self-preservation you are here. Congratulations for rising above yourself and trying. BTW, I can use your piece here as an intro to one of my own. I have a healing broken right hand at the moment but I'll post what I have in mind when I can. Good effort and don't be so hard on yourself. Poppy, Like you, I'm just starting out. It's really hard to post at our stage in this journey, but I think it's important that we do. Can we play like some (most) of these guys? Not a chance... yet. But posting is kind of like lighting the fire under our butts. As for the piece you posted, nothing awful about it. Congrats on having the stones to post! You and I can be the "NOOB" contingent from here on out on future VOM's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members C70man Posted February 15, 2010 Members Share Posted February 15, 2010 Well its not a Valentine song....won't be this year....instead another original copyrighted last year and submitted to a few musicians for recording....who knows, maybe I'll get lucky...Not the final version, but a true VOM1T...with all the quirks in it as well as a few lyric screwups. An effort that took the better part of 2 years to finish....some just don't come easy. Standard tuning, no capo, finger picked on my Penco.http://c70man.xanga.com/audio/8d08b3830015/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Michael Martin Posted February 15, 2010 Members Share Posted February 15, 2010 My wireless interweb ist gebroken, mostly. I have a dial up 1999 iMac but very hard to listen and even harder to post. Extremely slow. Music files keep stopping mid-song. So I can't respond as I like to do, not now. I did hear the first few postings last night and enjoyed them much. Hope to be back in normal mode soon. Gotta go to Des Moines Tuesday, get a new power supply for the Airport Extreme. Might have to visit a guitar store while I'm down there... MM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
