Congrats, Carl, first AVOYP.

Link works fine and enjoyed the recording. The tone and balance is good. Your playing sounds easy going and relaxed.

Hey Carl. That was quite enjoyable. You have a really nice voice. You certainly have one good number for your “campfire songs” list. Some day I will progress to singing while playing. In my early tries, my voice keeps trying to mimic the guitar sounds rather than the song melody. Work to do…forever.

Ha! … Excellent cover, Carl … and seeing as I had my phone propped up on the table against my coffee mug while listening, it also became the theme tune to a most epic battle between myself and a bacon and egg toastie, whose egg had decided to explode in my face at the first bite! :grin:

Really good, mate … well done indeed :+1:

Well played, sung, and recorded!

How did you record it? Sound quality was very good, with nice balance between guitar, voice, and backing track.

Thanks! I recorded it with the mic on my iPhone SE 2020 using GarageBand. Backing track was from YouTube and coming from a tablet a few feet away.

Hi Carl,

I immediately recognized that song. You did an amazing job. Thanks for posting this. I haven’t heard that song since the 1990s.

That’s a nice low tech (using high tech) approach that worked very well for you.

Sometimes, simplest is best!
