Members knockwood Posted February 15, 2010 Members Share Posted February 15, 2010 I'm flattered and humbled by your comment and request. Yes, of course, perform it as often as you can. I've been looking to get into the cat market! Thanks for trusting me with it, yo. Need to work at it for a while to do it any justice at all. Killer song. And my cats have a lot of pull in that market... Still haven't been able to listen to everything else, but can't wait. Awesome stuff so far. Edit: Also, to the folks who've commented on my submit, thank you so much for the generous comments. They mean a lot to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ohioarrow Posted February 15, 2010 Members Share Posted February 15, 2010 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. Poppy. No such thing as wasting bandwidth on a valid try. The day someone suggests that someone else is not good enough to play in the VOM will be the day that my association with the event ends. My Turn And to put music where my mouth is, I am gonna help you and LiFeStArTs@40 with a little bandwidth usage of my own. And Yes, folks, I know it sucks, but my first ever VOM entry in support of my fellow beginners. Bad timing, lousy voice, and going too dam fast, again.. Title: Behind Blue eyes Credit: The Who http://vom.infocusreviews.com/index.php?p=play&id=Ohioarrow/Behind_Blue_Eyes.mp3 and yea, I had to splice the end of it because the mic boom walked away from me, on it's own dang it. And then I had to it too close to my mouth, sheesh.. So I even violated the 1 take principal of the event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Title: Blue eyes Credit: The Who http://vom.infocusreviews.com/index.php?p=play&id=Ohioarrow/Behind_Blue_Eyes.mp3 I guess we now know where you've been hiding! Solid job, Joe. Good to know that your talents run deep. I've spoken to you on the phone, but I had no idea what your singing voice sounded like. I expect to hear more in future VOMs. Eventually, you should make this a family affair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ohioarrow Posted February 15, 2010 Members Share Posted February 15, 2010 Wow.. We shattered participation records on this anniversary! 42 performances. Best ever, new people galore. Gotta love this event. I have had my hand full today folks, been running behind the scenes on the VOM, transferring music to the streamer, and dealing with a burnt up water pump. SO Please, as always check my work at the Archive site: http://vom.infocusreviews.com make sure your entry was included and is correct. I have received a number of PMs and emails today on support matters, I have tried to take care of everyone, but the day has run away from me. I hope I got to everyone. If not... Hit me again. Happy Anniversary VOM! And a grand one it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Surrealistic Posted February 15, 2010 Members Share Posted February 15, 2010 Haven't managed to listen to anything yet - had a morning gig yesterday then a romantic Valentine's evening out. Had a little too much wine and there's no way I can listen to anything until this steam train stops running around inside my head. Will try later though.

Members rhancox Posted February 15, 2010 Members Share Posted February 15, 2010 There's some great performances this month. Bravo to everyone.illinihoops - very creative writing. Amazing quality from the iPhone recording.Oldskool Texas - Wow. Loved that one. Very powerful. And an excellent recording as well. Glenn F - What a cool tune and you two did it superbly. That sounded great. Bravo on your first submission.Knockwood - That was awesome, Knock. Some nice pickin' and you got the voice to match. Great job.Garthman - Well done, sir. I always look forward to your songs.Frets99 - What style. You put your stamp on every song you do.riffmeister - That was beautiful. You played that so well. Didn't sound "stiff" to me. You nailed it.hypcollector - Nice tune from that poem. If you hadn't mentioned it was an existing poem, I would have thought it was an original. It has your familiar flavor to it.LiFeStArTs@40 - if that's where you're at after only a year, you are making stellar progress. That was really good. No apologies needed for that piece. Great job.TSMusic - nice piece, Tony. A little bumpy on the timing here and there, but it's not like you're playing cowboy chords there. I was closing my eyes and thinking of the title picture. Nice marriage of sight and sound.OldGuitarPlayer - Great performance. Love the harp in there. Gotta learn me that one. I liked that.RKO - what a cool song for Valentine's Day. I'd never heard that one. You did it well. Be proud.gthom - Beautiful. And I love the backdrop. Congrats on the new baby. That's a great lullaby.bigald18 - Sing it, Al! That was cool. I gotta learn me that one too. Nice sounding git there too. Gotta get to work myself. Which for me just means alt-Tab. Thanks to everyone who commented on my submission. My wife loved it and we had a great day yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Glenn F Posted February 15, 2010 Members Share Posted February 15, 2010 Thanks, Glenn. The H2 is recording in WAV format, I think. Easiest way for me to get it into my Mac and then onto Soundclick is to upload it straight into iTunes and convert it to MP3. Can't seem to do anything with it beyond that point, though. I can move the file to a hosting site, etc., but can't open it in GB to edit. And I'm only talking very simple edits, like cutting off massive silences at beginning/end... I'll figure it out eventually. For the moment I'm happy just to be able to finally contribute something. Hi, Which version of GB do you have? I just tried importing .WAV and .MP3 files into a GB song, with no problems. If you download the audio to your desktop, open Garageband, and then drag the file onto the song grid, doesn't it import the song? Cheers, Glenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel very privileged to play among some unbelievable talent. You guys are truly inspiring! Now I have to figure out what I'm going to do next month.

Members RKO Posted February 15, 2010 Members Share Posted February 15, 2010 I couldn't begin to offer comments to each and every submission, but that session rocked! I do want to shout out to my fellow Kentuckian Poppy, for submitting something he thought wasn't perfect. Brother, if I waited until I was perfect to play for people, nobody would ever know I play. Your submission was good and you'll be amazed at your progress as you keep doing this. A couple folks asked me about the song I did, "Valentine's Day." It's NOT an original, I wish I knew how to write a song. Steve Earle wrote and recorded that tune. So, well done my HCAG brethren and sistren. The support and encouragement we give to each other (along with some good natured constructive criticism) is invaluable to me as a work in process!I look forward to next month.

Members Ohioarrow Posted February 15, 2010 Members Share Posted February 15, 2010 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVwBB8P6xMYThis 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. Neil, I always envied your vocal range. Don Henley and the Eagles in general are among my favorite cover targets, but someone else always has to sing 'em cause I can't touch Don's vocal range. I don't even wanna talk about Timothy B. Schmit's vocal range. Nice Job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FussenKuh Posted February 15, 2010 Members Share Posted February 15, 2010 Wow! 42 entries... I'm going to have a lot of music to start streaming tomorrow. And, thanks to Joe, it'll be as simple as clicking a single button Thanks to everyone who gave my tune a listen this month and thanks for the feedback. It is truly appreciated and does definitely help me improve my playing FussenKuh--Not familiar with the song but well done!Thanks. It's always great to hear that I'm improving... even, in my eyes, if it's only ever so slightly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BlackHatHunter Posted February 15, 2010 Members Share Posted February 15, 2010 I wanted to thank all those who listened to my entry. I still have some MP3s to listen to, then I will post my comments. Talk about another strong VOM. To those who donate their time to run this, my sincerest thanks. I look forward to this every month. Like all people, my life has its ups and downs, and right now is more of a down than an up, and it's little things like this that make the downs be not as down as they could be. It may not be much, but it means a lot. We all need something to hang on to when the seas batter our ship... So my thanks to you for your generosity and the opportunity to belong to this very talented, friendly, supportive, creative and inspiring group. BlackHatHunter...good job. Thanks, friend!

Members Chicken Monkey Posted February 15, 2010 Members Share Posted February 15, 2010 As much as I want to answer your question, I am waaaay more interested in your compliment! How's this--I've never been a Clark fan, after seeing him live in several settings and hearing a few albums. That said, I'm definitely looking this song up.

Members Chicken Monkey Posted February 15, 2010 Members Share Posted February 15, 2010 BTW, I am surprised that you didn't like his songs after seeing him live. Any particular reason why? I see the stitching on most of his songs--he's really obsessed with the songwriter's craft, to the point that he's writing for other songwriters, and not for "the people". IMO.
