I hope that I dont Fall in Love With You (Repost)- Tom Waits Cover

[Ronniejm]

My brother and me were sitting around the other night just strumming and chewing the fat, we got to talking about a friend we used to play with years ago, lost touch with him, he was a great Tom Waits fan and we used to sing a few of his songs together, I've forgotten most of them now, but two of them came back to us after a bit of trial and error.

So I plugged in my BR800 when I got home and did my best at a couple of his songs, This one is I Hope That I Don't Fall In Love With You, I don't have the voice to do justice to the man, but here's what I came up with.

The other one's been moved to a separate thread.

It's a bit rough and ready.

If anybody wants to replace my vocals (PLEASE) I can send you just the guitar track.

Cheers
Ronnie

Just lovely renditions, played and sung wonderfully. As much as we all love Tom waits amazing growl his songs can and have been sung by so many different voices. Well done here brother.
Rock on!

Thanks for the comments guys, it had been donkey years since I had played these songs so it was great fun, and a wee bit frustrating at times working out the pick etc, luckily enough between my brother and myself memories kicked in. I think we got pretty close in the end, just a few made up bits.

It all started with one of us saying "remember that one we used to play.........." then the fun began.

Thanks again

Cheers
Ronnie
