Thanks for the kind comments!

No worries @brianlarsen , and no need to adjust your Wifi settings. It’s a grainy filter applied to a very low-light candle-light recording (in the early hours of the morn). Just hoping to soften some of the rough edges. I wish they had a plywood filter on iMovie. :slight_smile:

Was not aware of Zevon’s version, will check it out.

That was terrific Clint. Sung and played with soul and feeling. The thumb strum really suited the song. Well done.

Wonderful - I knew the orginal Winwood single, but I’ve never heard such a chill version performed. That worked so well!

Hey @twistor59, that’s from Warren Zevon’s album “Life’ll Kill Ya”, which is pretty great, I recommend checking it out. Zevon is most famous for “Werewolves of London”, which is a bit of a novelty song (written with 2 friends in about 15 min, btw), but his quieter more serious stuff is his best. “Desperadoes Under the Eaves” is a favourite.

BTW, your avatar seems to be a vaguely phallic Feynman diagram. What’s that about? Are you a physicist?

Thanks @jjw1 - I will have a listen to Warren Zevon!

Yes, for my sins I was a physicist in my younger days, before getting a “real job” in engineering. The diagram in my avatar is a representation of some of the things that happen in the MEG experiment Mu to E Gamma - Wikipedia (I didn’t work on it)
cheers,
Phil

That was great Clint. Very chilled. Excellent playing and vocals.

I think Steve Winwood covered that song back in the 80’s.

39

Thank you sir! You are correct, Steve Winwood wrote and performed the song originally, I based my version off of a cover by Warren Zevon.

So enjoyable Clint. I always love your songs. This beautiful easy- listening song was so soothing and relaxing to sit back and listen to. I may take some of your low-light techniques to cover up my own “rough edges”. However, you yourself don’t really need it IMHO.
