Hey All,

Well, what a blast. A real licourice all sorts of texts and styles. I reckon that's what it's all about. Different takes on a very well wriiten song. There's so many diferent harmonics going on, and eveyone used them in a different way. A few quick comments.......

Bob - smooth as usual, and in your own style. Real classic T-bob.

Colin - like what you've done with the chording and phrasing. Real mellow. Gotta love the acoustic nature, and especially the lead break. Very natural.

Joyce Marie - intersting take on the chord structure, it brings out different harmonics on the same vocal melody. Playing outside, then bringing it back to the root notes is very effective.

Calvin - real subtle, could be easily backed up for a toe tapping roots version.

Ricki - really heartfelt, and a pure , pure vocal.

Wendy - haunting, and subtley sublime. Easily placed in film.

Mark - Arena sound and classic soul. Gotta love the b/v's. Magic.

Jim - I'm thinking either 60's or 20's here. Either adaption would fit equally as well.

Herbie - yep, definitely Herbalised . Can tell you're a live performer. You make the song your own, and "entertain" the listener with the results.

For my own, I just wanted to do something simple that could be thrashed out on a guitar, or sung with those dreadful duo's we've all heard in a bar, or worked up further to a band number.

Scott, you've got a great munber there. Hope all the different takes can give some inspiration. There's not many numbers that are "usable" in different contexts.

Before anyone complains about "back slapping", it's quite easy to see that these are all ideas, and good ideas which can be used further by the writer if he needs them in the future.

Best of all, good fun huh ? grin

cheers, niteshift
