@Willsie Thanks John, appreciate it.
@Boris1565 Thanks Boris, not yet at the level of relaxation where I was, but I’ll get there. Chris Liepe was such a game changer for me and a few others here.
@MacOneill Thanks Deborah, glad you liked it and appreciate your listen and comment.
@jgottwals Thanks Jeremy, I will, I just love thew rhythm and good practice on a couple of chord changes/fingerings I find awkward.
@brianlarsen Thanks Brian. You are spot on, this is how I want to sound when performing or recording from the Playroom. And I do like playing live, accepting the variability, and over time can become more relaxed and focus a little more on the entertaining side and not worrting about the performance an making noticeable mistakes. Cheers 
@beejay56 Thanks Brian, glad you enjoyed it, aprpeciate the listen and comment
@TheCluelessLuthier Thanks Mark. You are right but what is annoying is that it was all working so well before my extended absence. And as I said in the after-party, no idea what has changed in Zoom, OBS, or both that it is now not behaving as it did. Glad you enjoyed it.
@sairfingers Thanks Gordon. Missed you there, next time. I know and lots to be said for the super straightforward approach. But I do like the engineering and production side of things as much as the playing and performing. I suppose I am that generalist, the proverbial Jack of all Trades, but master of none. But as you say, I don’t want much more. Sure, would love to be able to play and sing Wonderwall, finger pick some of those Dylan classics, and may never put in enough practice time to get there. But am content at (as CT might say) my strum a dum dum cowboy chord performances, with the odd embellishment thrown in. And yes, Songs from the Playroom (not the Wood) was that series of recording which were superceded by the virtual OMs once we started those up.
@JokuMuu Thanks Nicole, missed you performing in the OM, yours are always such a joy. From a sound perspective, there isn’t a lot of difference, and am not suggesting it was bad in the OM. But I do a few things in OBS that I think add some gloss and polish, at least I think so. Singing along is the ultimate compliment.
@wiredforsound Thanks Kevin. Oh my, now that appreciation can almost bring a tear to my eye. I feel that emotion when I play the song and for you to feel it too is such a wonderful compliment. I shan’t try and persuade you to listen to more Neil Young, and Old Man is a great song but not at all easy. I don’t even dare to dream of playing that.
@mari Thanks Mari, perhaps my highlight was seeing you again, you could have played anything. Glad you enjoyed it.
@TheMadman_tobyjenner Thanks Toby. Yeah, I’m pretty happy with the setup. Guitar and vocal both through the PA. I make use of Fx but try and do it so that it all sounds better than without but with a light touch so not obvious. The tirck in OBS is to double the guitar, apply a little Haas Effect for extra width and fullness, which I think works well. I was chuffed with the little bass riff to open and close, super simple walk from the G to C but I think it fitted well as an alternative to those three down strums on the G7. As for the OBS-Zoom connection, it does seem FUBAR and SNAFU.
@nzmetal Thanks Jeff. Miss your wit and of course rocking out in the OMs. Hope life is settling and we’ll see you there again soon.
@sclay Thanks Shane. And it has been a while since I played regularly and performed. But I did play at the previous OM as well, though didn’t repost the rehearsal recording in AVOYP. Maybe I will now after the feedback I got in the OM after-party. Glad you enjoyed it.
), that gives my kind of people some hope if we ever playing live here 
…time time time flies, but I thought there was plenty of time (good to see i was wrong 
…
It is indeed. As I said in a comment at the OM, Love is All Around that Eric performed was one that I somehow connected with when going through a hard time at work and I just played it over and over and over.
Serves me right for not being as vigilant on the forum as I should be
