Cool rendition Pinedog - very unique percussion for sure!  This is one of NY's songs I thought of covering myself, but struggle to much with the singing - you did a great job!  

Everytime I record my singing I keep hitting the delete button....there's just too many great singers on here and your one of them!

[Pine]

Thanks Geir...you really area big part of why this site is so cool..


Satch...Thanks for taking time to listen and comment. Ya know, i never dreamed the day would come when somebody would think i sang well. Wait...maybe i'm dreaming now! omg!   No but seriously...thanks. Not sure if you were in the post i made somewhere a while back about singing..but the gist of it is about "staying in your comfort zone". That means trying never to be somebody else. You'll die with the tone you were born with..can't change that..but evrything else about singing IMHO is adjustable. I've heard some good singers on this site..and of course a "good singer" is VERY subjective...but Kody and Greeny come to mind offhand. They sing in their "zone". I've been listening and taking notes and experimenting for the last 30 years and feel i may be finally starting to find my own "zone". I am probably the last person that should be discussing "good singing"..lol...so i'll put a lid on this. Thanks for the kind words.

Aw, c'mon Satchwood! With that tagline under your avatar, you've gotta do this one. If you're uncomfortable with the vocals, why don't you just post the music in collaborations and ask someone else to add the vocals? This NeilFest has shown that we have several members who can do a really good Neil Young vocal impression.

If you ask mrs Rottenhead nicely maybe ORH will have a go .... but don't tell her I said that 'cause I might pay them a visit in the near future!!

hell yeah hail to the casio king!:)) your version works on so many levels! lovely harmonics, singing and escalating guitar solos! such an awesome version - tribute:)

[Pine]

Well thank you kindly Bus! Appreciate the kind words and you taking the time to listen. That old casio is still in my studio...collecting dust. I learned so much doing that NY collection..If NY isn't an American Icon, not sure who is (uh-oh...wait...he's from Canada...)

Great job Pine dog. I for one love your vocals.  Just an overall great job!!.. I know I haven't been singing to much lately.  Been to busy with my guitar lessons. lOL

This is great!!  The vox are awesome, and the guitar solo was a treat!!

Casio? Hey, it worked!!

It's ok to post more than once a week, just so you know!!

Peace,
