First We Take Manhatten - Daniel and Speed Demon

[Speed Demon]

Originally performed by Leonard Cohen. And again by Joe Cocker.

Daniel Desete handles the vocal quite nicely.
Well done, Dan!

I just messed around on the guitars and bass.

Well done!
Good job for the guitars and for the vocals...

[Speed Demon]

Thank you, SG.

It's a good thing music transcends reality. Even if we took Manhatten we wouldn't have a place to store it.

Lovely moody job here, it creates a great atmosphere but is different enough from the original to have your own unique spin on it. Great collab guys!

Cheers,

Nigel

Wow - Dire Straits meet Leonard Coehen!!! Never thought of this before!

We are the Sultans, yeah, we are the the Sultans of Kosher!

[Speed Demon]

"We are the Sultans, yeah, we are the the Sultans of Kosher!"

LOL! Indeed we are. All of us!

[Geir]

great collab guys !!

[Greeny]

I missed this too! Fine work, fellas. Love the sultry, late-night tone on the guitar. Serious skills!

[Speed Demon]

Geir, Greeny, thanks for your kind assessments.

Daniel made this tune come alive. Such a resonant voice.
I had a lot of fun with this one.

I'm fudging the time frame a bit, but I think it was around 400 years ago, in some
countries, a song played in a minor key was considered the devil's music and anyone
caught playing such a song frequently was put to death. In most painful ways.

Such preposterous nonsense! Just like the people of today that still believe in the boogey man.
Scary sapsucker, ain't he...she...it?

Whatever happened to Preparation(s) A thru G?
