I grabbed half an hour and I only had enough time for a single stab. This is a very rough and ready (and in some areas not so ready) take of the great Bowie track.

What surprises me and ORH too from our conversation earlier today, Bowie's vocal range is amazing. I can't do it. So here, murdering the poor unfortunate suicide that is being rescued by our hero, is Flash Harry's version of Rock 'n' Roll Suicide.  I should have dropped it at least a tone.

Some of you may think that I should have just left it well alone.

Oh yeah...it's wonderful!  :)

Love the immediacy of this recording, Mike - it sounds great and also like you were having fun! Great pick.

Agree with you about Mr. Jones' amazing vocal range. I've got a nice, safe one or two picked out for the limited-range-cuthbert treatment.  :D

this is very good. Vocals are wonderful...you go into some Roger Waters darkness with this...chilling.

You've really connected with the song and owned it.  Really admire the talent it takes just to pick up a guitar and record a great song like that.
