I think I'll do "Pardon My Heart" as a video response. Then I'll get the word around. I think Gilsmusic will enjoy it. He reviewed one of my songs. I now have my acoustic so the covers will be coming like crazy. The more I work on covering Neil, the easier it becomes to write my own stuff. You'll have the same experience but when I was 15 I wasn't this good and I didn't sing yet. So bravo, snellular!

[journeythruthepast]

It's done and ready. I look forward to your next one. I think I should do "Ambulance Blues" in all its 9 minute splendor but I lack the proper keyed harmonica for it, so it'll be light guitar soloing over top. And then I'll make THAT a video response to your version and my "Expecting to Fly" will go somewhere else.

P.S. If you didn't know it already, you have an excellent singing voice for someone your age. You'll just get better at it and in a few years time you'll sound as pro as Neil!

[drewm58]

Amazing!

[snellular5]

thanx :)

[suuzzee5]

Oh my.... this is brilliant! You have such a wonderful voice and delivery ... great guitar licks too... 5/5 GilsMusic sent me over ... thanks!

[snellular5]

thank you very much :) and gils a great guy i owe him one

[GilsMusic]

[GilsMusic]

[snellular5]

[coldironsbound82]

awesome.

[snellular5]

thanx

[journeythruthepast]

I should be doing some more folksy covers since I've got my acoustic fixed and all. So, I only hope people can realize how much I enjoy performing these Neil tunes. University is done in a month so after we'll see how much time there is for recordings. As for this, pretty good. I like your choice (1 of the few songs I thought were top rate off the uneven Silver & Gold). The recording quality is good and your singing's improving (ok falsetto was tough to hit at all times but that's it I swear!).

[DustinHsiao]

Praise well said is praise well earned mate. You know me, I don't just compliment everybody! :D You deserve it.

I seriously laughed at the lawsuit joke. Cheeky monkey. I just thought that since all the musicians are suing their fans, you might want to get in on the action... Actually, it's the big record labels; they're screwing everyone over and it ain't a pretty screw either... :P

I'm uploading the ones I've enhanced to sendspace, check back in an hour. :D

Righto now we wait,

Dustin

[snellular5]

kk thanx bro

ahaha i cant stand them all ways suing someone for more money

[DustinHsiao]

No thanks needed. Check your PM box mate.

Yeah, I know... The worst part is the wobbly American legal system, where laws and lawmakers just haven't caught up. Also, the lawyers over there are allowed a bigger cut so there's huge incentive to go sue-mad. The Canadian system's much better but that's still not saying much.

Besides hurting their customers, the big record labels just pump the artists and throw them out the back chute when they're done. It's getting just getting really bad...

[DustinHsiao]

Hey,

Awesome as always Matt. You really dump your heart and soul into these; it shows! The song's more relevant now than ever.

On a really superficial note: Did you get a haircut? :P

Oh by the way, I hope you don't mind but I've been "enhancing" some of my favorites (cleaning up the audio, etc.) and loading them on my iPod... Please don't sue me! :P Guess I have one more to do, if it's all right with you.

Anyways, aces as always mate.

Keep on rocking Matt,

Dustin

PS: Happy Easter/Break!

[snellular5]
