Hi Marc,

Can’t beat some Bowie, and you’ve done a great job here.
Vocal has a nice vulnerability to it. Works very well with the acoustic backing.

Hope Maya liked it.
Welcome to J’s.

That was excellent Marc. Your voice was perfect for that song! Loved it!

Thanks for the suggestion David! I just posted an intro here:

Hello! Older American in London learning to make music

American expat living in London, not far from Abbey Road! I’m a software engineer by trade (40 years) but an artist in my heart. A long time Justin student and fan, I enjoy playing guitar, singing, and writing. I just posted my first recording here: My current goals are: play with other people master a small repetoire (e.g. 3-5 songs) perform a song or two live at an open mic in London Read more about me at my blog: https://mco.dev.

Hi Marc, I love this song and what a wonderful interpretation you gave us here! I like the finger-picking and also the calm way to play it, very sensitiv. Looking forward for more!

[marcacohen]

Thanks Helen! Really appreciate the kind feedback.

Great job on this song Marc. I loved the finger style approach. It really fits the melody well. Thanks very much for sharing.

Very nicely done Marc. Your playing and singing were great. I really enjoyed your cover of the song.

[marcacohen]

Thanks Jeff!

Well that was a pretty darned good debut post Marc. Very impressive playing and singing, I just wanted more. Look forward to future recordings. Welcome and thanks for joining us !

@marcacohen that was fantastic! I’ve been working on building up my own repertoire as well and this is a song I’ve long wanted to add but haven’t found a version that suits me best. So far my ideal has been Neil Finn’s cover he did solo acoustic from his home as a tribute to Bowie

I really loved your version as well - the fingerstyle really suits the song. My only request is I’d love to be able to watch your fingers on the video so if possible see if you can keep them in the frame.

Really looking forward to what you tackle next!

[JasonBuk]

both versions awesome!!!. What a great song. It’s on my list. Too.

Thanks Jesse, I’m a big fan of Neil Finn’s, thanks for sharing that nice video! Good suggestion, btw, I may record a longer version and will do a better job catching the fingerwork.
