Sea of Love cover by Ron 2010

Ok, here's the best I've been able to do with Phil Phillips "Sea of Love" classic swamp pop song. I'm playin' it in the key of D but have my capo on the 7th fret and playin' a G shaped chord for the D mainly because the 2nd chord of the song is I think a fm#6 and I couldn't figure out an easy way to make that chord. But now I have and may re-do the song later. Anyway it's one of the very few I've got memorized and I'v got my band in a box backin' track runnin' in the background. That was a chore in itself, tryin' t figure out how to get that program to run. The instruction book that came with the program is almost an inch and a half thick, I haven't read the whole thing (probably never will) but just enough to get a bass and drums backin' track and save it for later play.
The song is kinda slow which makes it really difficult for me to sing with a steady voice. I do much better with choppy type songs and lyrics. Hope you like it and hope to add more later now that I've got band in a box figured out a little bit.

[Mandolin1944]

One of the all time best rock and roll songs --- but it never gets the credit it deserves do you think? Anyway its always been one of my favorites and you do a very nice job on it I think. What back up program were you referring to? It sounded OK to me. BTW do you recall the Twilight Zone show by Rod Sterling that was built around a juke box and the Sea of Love? It was a great installment.
