I came across your name in a book called "unknown legends of rock 'n' roll. although the subtitle "psychedilic unknowns, mad geniuses, punk pioneers, mavericks and more" sums the book up better. I don't know the original song, but i love this. I'm sure this won't be the first time you have been compared to Squueze. I apologise if you find that insulting
@irish66 Get hold of a copy of "The Greatest Living Englishman" as a starting point. You won't regret it. Most of the songs from it are on utube but i'm sure Martin would appreciate the royalties (that's if they ever end up heading his way). I saw him today in Colchester and he was as good as ever. Even had a quick chat with him during one of the gig breaks.
As a little bit of constructive thingy...You obviously have heard the song and if you've gone to all of the trouble to learn the chords, why did you take away all of the soul?
I GET that you were doing your own take, but you lost the song....slow it down and it will be better.. Good on you for doing it..
I agree with you. If I were reviewing it, I'd have described it as tired and anaemic.
In mitigation, though, M'Lud
a) We can't always know what the listeners will post up.
b) My first concert in a number of years, after stopping live stuff. It was 2003. I did over 30 songs that afternoon. Nervous and rusty, I was, The voice was a little torched..
I hope to put this incident behind me and rebuild my life. My wife has said she will stand by me.
I was a plod (police type) in Colchester 1975, it's a shame I never got to see this guy. I'm sure he was performing locally. I love Protheroe's 'Pinball' . An interesting punk edge to this cover- I'm not sure but I could get to like it. Not bad.
