Members Melodeous Posted July 12, 2009 Members Share Posted July 12, 2009 http://www.box.net/shared/a85b99qgx8I wrote this song for my Dad, David Willis Martin, not long before he died. I played it for him by his bedside at the hospice, along with some other songs of mine. I am grateful that I had the chance. We lived so far apart. This is one of your best.

Members panfloj2 Posted July 12, 2009 Members Share Posted July 12, 2009 This is my first post to VOM1T. It is an Old Time song called Cherokee Shuffle; the arrangement is by Mark Geslison and it is not as complex as a standard arrangement. http://www.box.net/shared/u4xoord0u7 It was recorded on a simple logitech computer mic into Audacity. There are two tracks: a rhythm track and a track with a guitar lead (both played by me). It should be played faster, but I just can't do that yet.

Members Terry Allan Hall Posted July 12, 2009 Members Share Posted July 12, 2009 Just a quick single-take version of a song I wrote for The Other Half Of My Soul, my wife/soul-mate/best friend, Georgia Anne. http://terryallanhall.com/the_other_half.mp3We are such different peopleBut opposites attractAnd when I gaze into your eyesI can see what my life once lackedI want to hold you in my arms Until we both grow oldYou're the angel of my lifetimeThe other half of my soulAnd when I count my blessingYou top the listAnd to this day my toes still tingleWith your every burning kissYou filled my life with such warmthIn a world so often coldYou're the angel of my lifetimeThe other half of my soulI wish I had the words to tell you What you mean to meBut how can mere words convey the truth Or explain the ecstacy?I'll love you for eternity Until the World grows oldYou're the angel of my lifetimeThe other half of my soulGear used was my Guild JF-4, a Rat-Shack stereo condenser mic, my tonsils and my fingertips.

Members happy-man Posted July 12, 2009 Members Share Posted July 12, 2009 This doesn't fit my username, and it's a song I first heard on a previous VOM1T by someone else, but it fits where I am right now. After 23 years, my marriage has hit a brick wall. This song is probably more the sentiments of my wife right now that mine; I've hurt her deeply. I'm out of work and my life is upside down. I've got the kids with me for now very temporarily; we haven't told them yet what is coming next. This is a very raw, true VOM1T. The good news is that I'm in God's hands, He is holding me, and I am not without hope - but what ever happens, it's going to be a long road.http://www.box.net/shared/0nsuh8an8e Scott O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just me and my trusty Martin D12X1. Forever Young, by Bob Dylan Forever Young What a beautiful version of that song. I've heard many and I think your take has real flow and sounds the best. I dl'd it!But,... such a cheapie guitar?.... I mean HPL??I'm starting to come to the feeling that a good solid top and laminate sides and back may just be one of the best ways of making an acoustic guitar. There's such an even-ness with just the right amount of bass resonance and sparkle on that guitar!! Well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Samilyn Posted July 12, 2009 Members Share Posted July 12, 2009 Thanks so much for your kind words, Frets! The git is always tuned down a half step, especially for this song. (It's the only key where I can pull off the vox...LOL...and I'm too lazy to transpose on the fly) Interestingly, this particular D12X1 has a tone that I haven't found in any others I've played. Mine is an '06 model and the top has a sh**load of bearclaw. I've played newer ones in several git stores, A-B'ed mine against a few, and for some unexplained reason, mine sounds way better. Maybe the top is opening up or maybe it's the loads of ding mojo? Go figure. I've received several good offers from folks who want to buy that git, in spite of it being HPL, but I won't part with it.

Members happy-man Posted July 12, 2009 Members Share Posted July 12, 2009 So, happy-man ... quit singing about her and get her back. Sorry. I'm married 24 years and I feel for the 2 of you. Nothing is irreconcilable. I have to keep on the straight and narrow, love her, and be patient. She drove me to the hospital a year and a half ago and had me locked up. I needed it, and I was fortunate enough to be able to spend 2 months getting the help I needed. I'm a changed man, but she's not so sure, and rightly so; I put her though a lot. We have six children, the oldest of which was married last month. We can sit together and talk civilly, like we did last night at Starbuck's figuring how to divide things up: neither of us wants to fight, but there is no easy fix. I'm committed to love and support her for the long haul - but she's not able to trust that right now. as far as VOM1T... I've only listened to a few submissions so far. Frets99 got me laughing; I needed that. Gil - GREAT job on Time. Scott O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Galabar Posted July 12, 2009 Members Share Posted July 12, 2009 Good Mornin' from a hot So CAl! I really haven't had time this week to put something together. I spent the last two days up in an attic crawlspace wiring up some ceiling fans for a customer. Had to be 120* up there! So, this is something I created last year and happens to be already stored in my webspace. It is called Uke Fantasy. It's a bit long, but it features hammered dulcimer and an instrument called a ukeline.http://1stclass.mylargescale.com/bobstarr/Uke%20Fantasy.mp3Bob That linked didn't work for me.

Members C70man Posted July 13, 2009 Members Share Posted July 13, 2009 Well here it is, though I kinda ran out of time this week with this and that. I noticed that after I had mentioned I was going to do a John Prine song, I was asked to do, "Hello in There". I knew the song, but never played or sang it. Now, I was going play "Souvenirs" as its not only a John Prine song, but one he duo'd with Steve Goodman, and I had practiced "Souvenirs" a number of times and felt comfortable giving it a one take live with lyrics. Anyhow, I was never asked for a song before, so here it goes....in fact I never even played it before....I gave it a couple of good listens to, then printed out the tab and lyrics, stuck it in front of the mic and recorded it....The most "One take" song I have ever taken. Listening to it, there are many obvious mistakes, timing issues, lyric issues, playing issues, but for a totally blind song test, I'm not too unhappy about it. Penco, standard tuning, brand new set of D'Addario Phosphor Bronze Custom Lights.....http://c70man.xanga.com/audio/36ab43595623 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes all we can do in times of hurt is pick up a git and let the pain flow. I hear your sadness in this song.Hypcollector: So haunting. I like this one a lot.Pschaafs: Simply wonderful, Peter. This one made me kick back, close my eyes and relax.C70man: No woodshedding? I'm impressed!! You pulled it off very nicely indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
