[mitomanox]

by the way ....Awesome Cover,, Too bad theres not a" Clap Out loud Button" around here

[buniluvr]

@mitomanox

You are too KIND!

cheers,

julie

[mitomanox]

Im learning this song but i cant find the finger picking pattern , and i love yours , Do you have a tab or some advice for me?

I know that intro is Am-F-E

and verse Am-E -Am-E

And Chorus F-E-Am and etc.

Thank you!

[buniluvr]

@mitomanox

Thanks for stopping by! As far as the picking style everyone has their own interpretation. Robyn Fredrick's is more orchestrated while Nick Drake is crazy and hard to replicate. You have the right chords and I suggest you experiment with your own style. That's what makes YOU special!

cheers,

julie

[rapperfrgman]

Is this song from Nick Drake or from Hederos & Hellberg? I know Nick Drakes version, but i heard first the version from Hederos & Hellberg. Who of them made it?

Robin Frederick wrote this song; I've only heard her original and Nick Drake's cover. I'll have to explore Hederos & Hellberg!

Thanks for listening!

[arleyasdf]

Been Smoking Too Long composed by Jackson C. Frank.

[buniluvr]

YES! I realized that right after I posted. Thank you for letting everyone know!

[ItinerateWolfMop]

Actually...Jackson C. Frank didn't write this number. Robin Frederick did. The Jackson C. Frank songs that Nick Drake covered and recorded that I know of are Blues Run the Game, an arrangement of the traditional song Kimble, Here Come the Blues and Milk & Honey. The last two are covered by both Nick Drake and buniluvr. ;)

[gibsonrocker800]

That was incredible. Guitar sounds great, and your voice is amazing. Keep it up!

[buniluvr]

Wow - you are too kind! It must be that Guild- I bought it in 1976 and it just gets better!

cheers my friend

[Cephlin]

Guild's are damn nice guitars!

[danielchester]

Cheers to you my friend!

[dbwhitwell]

Great stuff. Sounds really superb. x

[danbs07]

very good indeed!!! Just wondering did you transcribe this song yourself. I transcribed the intro but cant really hear what Nick is playing when he starts to sing because it is quite a grainy recording. Please help.Thanks...

[buniluvr]

Glad to help! Can you send me your email address and I'll tab out for you!

Hi Julie ,I like also the sound of dulcimer.

Can you play a piéce one day ? Bravo for this song .*****

[lboog081284]

Great overall production. Your delivery is a class act! Love the decorated room!

LJR

[karledmark]

Marry me? Then maybe you could better teach me to play this song. But, in the meanwhile, I think I have figured it out thanks to you. Sublime

[jeremyserwer]

I really like this, I've never heard his version of it. I will have too look that up. Nice Guild, that is my dream guitar. Thanks for the music and goodness.

[lenfamily]

Julie,

It has been a long time....

"Oh, mirror in the sky

What is love?

Can the child within my heart rise above?

Can I sail thru the changing ocean tides?

Can I handle the seasons of my life?"

Rick, aka, Bum

[tooleydeviljuice]

one of my favorite bluesy tunes, i love your voice on it. less smoky than mr. drakes, but more haunting, in a flowing way. kind of like a dry, less windy norah jones. beautiful.

[dontgivetwohoots89]

placebo rock, and so do you :]

[blondymeg]

Hi Julie!

I'm glad I finally got to see and listen to your video. You have a wonderful voice.

Love, Ellen

[Hurrikcane4444]

Hi Julie!

Awesome job! You've got such a lilting harmonic voice, it is truly beautiful (as are you). I hope you'll find time to give us a bit more preferably sooner than later.

R.M.

[Curliefongs]

Awesome Julie! Definitely 5 stars!

[mofosstolemyusername]

Lovely cover!

I hope there's more to come...

[frankvyvyan]

Nice version and sweet voice.

[BudgetNightmare]

Outstanding Julie!!!!! How about another one from a soulful, dark, smokey dive. You've definitely got it in your blood. Thank you much! BudgetNightmare

[Gort121]

awesome!  nice lap dulcimer in the background, too.

[buniluvr]

Hi Gort121,

Thanks so much for the kind words! I forgot about the dulcimer; maybe next time!

Cheers!

[MaisynPJ]

Way to go Julie...... Imagine being 3,000 miles apart, logging on and there you are.

Rock On Sista. Send us more music.

We love you - GREAT JOB.

[BerkshireShootist]

Way t'go Julie - I knew you played, but didn't realise you could 'really play' that axe. Let's see/hear some more then - Joe oxo

[buniluvr]

Hi Joe!

Imagine hearing from you on the other side of the world! Great to hear from you and thanks for listening.  I loved your video of the swan - very tranquil! Cheers mate!

[buniluvr]

Hey - thanks so much! Yes - it is her song. She has a really interesting write up in "Family Tree" about how surprised she was to hear his recording of it.  My next project is "One of These Things First". Definitely a finger picking challenge! Best of luck to you!

[fakeNRD]

Great job.

I think it's a Robin Frederick song that Nick covered? But Nick's is the definitive version.

Know any more ND-related songs? Everyone's always asking for the early (TIA) stuff.
