I’ve enjoyed all the recordings - good job everyone. Thanks for setting it up @grumpymac Deborah.
I did an original. It’s called “Summer in Clacton”. You can find it here:
I hope you enjoy it.

I have been absent from the forum , OMs and guitar in general for a few months. Some good family stuff going on but also some aches and pains of the aging process. I saw @GrumpyMac Deborah’s post on Saturday and thought what a perfect way to get back on guitar. So yesterday I had a think about a song which I could learn quickly and get recorded. Since it is sunny and I have been doing some retrospective tax stuff ( always great fun) , I felt this song was a good choice. Sorry its a bit rough but I did have great fun doing it.All the songs have been great, fantastic idea for the summer. btw, loved the Chris Rea song from Deborah. I was learning his Road to Hell song before my hiatus and Deborah has also inspired me to get back on thisSummer AVOYP

It doesn’t sound “rough” to me. I enjoyed that @eric.lennon.
@simon_plays_bass Glad you liked it. I say a bit rough as I could hear some mistakes and wind noise, it was my recording first take and I was happy I got through the song, I thought about doing another take but you probably know that can become a “rabbit hole” of take after take and I just wanted to finish while I was enjoying playing.

Great job, Simon @simon_plays_bass 
That was really enjoyable 
Well-written and performed - especially for all done in 36 hours!
I’ll have to do the searches to really get the lyrics though, I think.
I enjoyed your performance too, Eric @eric.lennon
It didn’t sound rough to me either. And what a great location!
Beautiful place for playing some guitar - and a cute dog

The song is Sapore di mare, an old italian classic, which I had posted already a few months ago; it’s in 12/8 and it was easier for me to arrange it with a 123 123 123 123 rhythm…now I re-worked it out into a 123456 123456 kind of flow, which is more faithful to the original recording.
Many thanks to Rogier @roger_holland who encouraged me to improve it in that topic and many thanks to Deborah for this wonderful thread which inspired me to make this video (loads of fun in doing it!)

Oh wow! Silvia! That was gorgeous!
So very beautifully played! And it does sound amazing with the 123456 tempo
Also a perfect piece for the location, it really does look like paradise 
So much wish I could put on my swimsuit and try out that water 
I’m heading off to the coast for a few days in about 5 weeks. Looking forward to that.
Hope you feel better soon Deborah @GrumpyMac

the weather should be back to normal in 2 days
I listened to all the new videos
they are all really great
playing in the garden or a video of the sea makes it even more “ Summer “

thanks a lot
I am still a bit behind on the rythm though
I love the road to hell , it must not be an easy song to learn !
@eric.lennon Im glad to see you back
really happy that the summer camp inspired you
I havent thought of the song Sunny afternoon in the list 
good pick !
No need of another take , the goal is not to be perfect but to participate 
@Silvia80
