Unprocessed blues on Vox.

Newest request is up. "Since I Fell for You" has been covered by Dinah Washington, Mose Allison, Nina Simone, Big Mama Thornton, and, and, and...a lot of other people. I did it in one track, one take. Simple felt best. Overprocessed blues feels, well, wrong to me. Do it, and if it's dirty, so much the better.

Disclaimer: I am not a blues guitarist, but I can shout.

Also managed to record basic tracks of four of my own songs (they're all in French). Was proud of myself for pushing through and doing it, taking mini-breaks along the way. Did you know that a square of fancy chocolate relaxes and resets your left hand after too many bar chords on a classical guitar? Did you? Well, now you do. So there.

Cha-Cha tchatchke! Have read your commentary at PT's place. Always a nice way about you. Finally have had some time to get around a bit and listen. WOW. And I mean WOW! You are one smoky, steamy, sexy, sweet, songbird, incredibly complex voice. I love your voice (and your guitar sounds fine!) Listened to 3 so far at your VOX site. Your Goldust Woman version is wonderful and you've managed to put your own unique voice/interp. to that one. Not so easy! Great work and I stand to applaud you! :::::::CLAP CLAP CLAP:::::


Tink (a nickname) (not the fairy) :o)

WOW.
I also listened to GDW and I have to say without a doubt this is my fave version, vocally, of all the cvers I've heard and the original. And I love Fleetwood Mac,
it's just that Stevie's voice had a tendency to get little...chipmunkie
at times. :)
Yours, totally different. This is amazing cover. :)
I wanted to say something at Pete's about your music but I don't want to embarrass you over there. :)
