been trying all week to find a todd rundgren song to do, but all his songs seem to be done with impossible chords and i dont have enough fingers even with multitracking. so i ditched the instruments, this is four voices all using duifferent built in micro br mic settings. intended to do this with voice as all the instruments or with harmonies but couldn't figure out how to do that either. ended up just singing it the same way 4 times. todd is god. we gotta get you a woman words and music by todd rundgren

it sounds great Jim......sounds to me like you got the harmonies without trying ...Good stuff....I know what you mean about all that chord changing stuff, I'm having trouble C Am D these fingers I have were made for the piano not the guitar and I have enough trouble playing that....... |

like Dmaj13, Or Eb9+5 and the like I've seen them in my chords for kids chord book ( which is a great title I'm 48 and I can't manage most of the chords it shows) I haven't quite progressed that far in the book yet maybe you have to paint the nails on your left hand with blue nail varnish as the book shows you ......that must be the trick.....I'll think I'll give that a go I'll just check with the Mrs to see if she's got any......on another note I used to have a Man from Uncle car with little plastic NapoleonSolo and illya Kuryakin when I was a little lad I used to love it ....wish I had it now it must be worth a few bob......ahh the good old days
I'm sure I saw Todd once he was on the bill with Led Zeppelin at Knebworth in 79 I say sure as it was quite a while ago now I'm going to have to google it now to check..... |

after googling, yes he was there I remember the day now Chas and Dave opened and had the whole crowd I don't know about 100,000 or so shouting Bollocks at the top of there voices a cracking day and only sweet sixteen.....arr..the good old days .....
I bet your wondering why i was waffling on about the man from uncle I feel I must explain I got a pm from Odh on alone tone and misread it and thought it was you .....that will teach me to pay attention..... |

he did play knebworth then i recall there being an airshow whilst he was on, tho i got that info from the nme or sounds at the time. saw him at the apollo round about then with utopia when they toured the ra album it was very braw.
nail varnish shouldnt be a problem at rottenhead towers wife and two daughters have litres of the stuff every colour of the rainbow and more |

I've always liked this Todd song.....he caught a lot of crap from the lady groups for the "they may be stupid but they sure are fun" line  Great work here ORH! I've always wanted to do an acapella song myself.....but haven't yet. Farrell |
