I Shot the Sheriff - Eric Clapton cover 1974 Fest

Been missing from the site for a while.. I lost my mum at the end of July and been busy taking my dad to see her every day while she was in hospital for most of July and then arranging the funeral afterwards and all the other things that need to be sorted out.

Life's getting back to normal now so I've had chance to record my version of I Shot the Sheriff, a single released by Eric Clapton in 1974, written by Bob Marley. Hope to be spending a bit more time on Songcrafters again.

Really sorry to hear about your loss. That's a really hard time, so much to do when you're really not in the best place for it.

Nice cover of (you guessed it) a song that was also on my list. Has a real live feel and captures the song well.

Oh, Pete I'm so sorry to hear that, losing your mother is a real heartbreak, I've been there and I'm still scarred.

I hope to see (hear) you on SC more often now.

I love this song and your version is really good, very good.

Excellent guitar work there Pete.
It's great to see you back on here again as I know it's been really tough for you lately.
Music has a way of healing some times.
Nice one.

Sorry to hear of the loss of your mother, Pete - losing a parent is very difficult.

Making music is a great way to help get you through the tough times. This is a great cover, and I hope you find some peace as you continue along your journey.
