Here's a double fester that's been quite a while in the making. I did the uke, lead vocals & drums, Farrell Jackson did the harmonica, lead guitar & the background vocals, Flash Harry did the bass & bruno put down the piano and banjo.
Thank you gentlemen, I'm pretty darn pleased with the results. This is a combined mixing effort. Farrell did the 1st mix then Flash mixed in his bass into that mix. I mixed in bruno's parts into Flash's mix with audacity, not my favorite tool to mix with but here it is!

Farrell Jackson

Wow hook! This is a great mix and accumulation of performances! Thanks for inviting me to join in. Flash Harry's bass rocks as does bruno's piano and banjo. Hook, your vox and Uke laid the foundation for this cool Stones cover. I had never heard this song before so I just played what came natural. I played it then checked out the original on youtube....it's uncanny how close my harp is to Mick's. This is my first real collab at songcrafters....thanks hook for drawing me in with your down home Uke playing!

I didn't realise this was a stone's song - its a really cool tune. Hook asked me for some piano, I did a couple of different takes using different piano sounds - but then I wondered how it would sound with a Banjo (as you do) - so did a take with that on the GR - and sent him that as well as an alternative! I think its a great song, hope I haven't knackered it with some banjo playing - but i couldn't resist!
Thanks for including me on this one Hook - totally loved the harp Farrell and excellent guitar playing, great bass Flash, and Hook, fabulous vox - I must say that I love this tune.

Thanks for the very kind words. I'm not big Stones fan but I sure do like festivals.
64- that was my goal so I guess it was a success.
Again, thank you Farrell, Flash and bruno for your time and effort. I've always thought if I surrounded myself with quality musicians I would sound better, another theory proved!
