Here&Everywhere:
Well about two months ago I got to know two of my co-workers better who it turned out play music. They told me about some local 'open mike' nights they go to regularly and were more than open-hearted in inviting me to the next one, even though when they did I had just met them. I guess they see musicians as some kind of family instantly which is cool. It feels good to meet some like-minded people. It will be good to get back to listening to (and eventually playing) music again like this. The guy writes songs too - very nice songs as well. Very talented. It comes in handy then that I recently got my new Tanglewood semi-acoustic guitar which hasn't been played anywhere but at home. Life is good.
it's just what happens to me, to see people around that are singers and especially songwriters feels special... The karaoke waiter writes music besides singing, and needed to translate one song of him from Spanish to English... he tried with a singer there who's an English teacher, but she isn't used to do verses... He asked me and I've done the job... and he wants to do "something" with me at some studio of one of his friends, etc. Hey, it's cool...

Sorry, I couldn't resist... This fool can't help to do it one more time, it's not the best key for me, but after what I've learnt lately, I've kind of adapted to it, by singing in a bit of different way than Elvis. I guess I'll do my solo version soon... anyway... this is it.

Hmmm... ...I have a suggestion: Since you've decided to sing the lead-melody rather than a harmony part with The King, I thnk you should re-record your vocal but sing an ''answer'' to each of Elvis' lines. For example: When Elvis sings "Must I forever stay a beggar..." Right after that part, you should sing "...a beggar." I recommend you do that after every line that Elvis sings.

well, kind of what I did in some part of Suspicious Minds or If I Can Dream... fill the blanks with my vocals. Those were spontaneous things!. This wasn't very spontaneous . Well, this song is very new to me, so I was not even sure of where the melody blanks are (or what the lyrics are or even how the melody is)... I can try now I'm getting used to the song.... Also think this time I'm not trying to copy Elvis in any second (except the very end), cause my register doesn't fit with his, it never did. Only I didn't know. I'm listening to the Elvis live thing... and I don't see what to sing.... wait, I've improvised something... hmmm... something like the chorus of Paul Simon's Kodachrome.... too late to sing here, especially this great idea it would be an absolutely different take I already had though some answers to fill in blanks in Sing the Changes with Paul, like wo-o-o-o (wo-o-o) wo-o-o (wo-o-o), besides doing a strange harmony, as usual.

Went watching this bloke last night.....the best guitarist of his generation
A strange but lovely man -
I was supposed to post here today Sing The Changes and Rags To Riches duets with The Fireman and Elvis... The thing is that I went yesterday to the karaoke, too much noise for talking, (and many talk that needed to be done :lol... so well, I've tried but my voice is not OK to do those songs, especially The Fireman one... but after singing for a while, I wanted to record anything... so I did this one, I think it's very funny. Like in my old times, spontaneous, impromptu, live... I've only equalized my voice, and added some little kind of reverb, similar to Adam Lambert's one I think... dedicated to all those who desire to have a whola lotta of love...

Thanks. Scarlett looks great!

I enjoyed a lot, great if someone enjoys it too... "I want to go there and kill it", it's great... excuse for me the lyrics, but I spent 5 minutes preparing the song, not lots of days like they do... that ending is not the original one but it's a great ending for the song!!

Ok, I've finished Rags to Riches again with Elvis, but a different version, more like Audi said, answering his vocals. I've done the piano and vocals for my solo recording (not a duet...) of Rags to Riches, now maybe I'll add guitar and drums hmmm... I was going to do Sing The Changes with The Fireman... but the Fireman's voice at the original recording is so low that I can't add anything to the recording without making dissappear his vocals. I've tried instead with a live recording, but it's not so different... I can add vocals but not guitars and piano... so I guess that's what I'll do. When I did Hey Jude, I thought, why not the B side too? And added my vocals to Revolution, but I wanted to added keyboards and guitar just like I did in Hey Jude... only I found that I couldn't add a thing without spoiling the song. The guitar track is perfect, nothing to add, so the keyboard solo of Nicky Hopkins, so I only sang... I think I'll post that too. And... audi and me are gonna do Are you lonesome tonight?. You know that singing's is a lot about breathing, and breathing in peculiar ways with the stomach sometimes... well... to sing that Elvis song you need to do kind of a belly dance , only no-one sees that... so tomorrow can be a day of posting a whola lotta music, you're warned...

Okey, Revolution and Rags to Riches version 2. In both of them I've used a new compressor, as I don't have a clue about compression, I've tried to copy the values of the Audacity compressor. I haven't added any kind of reverb in both... The Beatles and Oliver - Revolution Elvis and Oliver - Rags To Riches (live), version 2 (harmony/answers)

well, Paul already did that. On the official video of the song, that harmony and "shoo-bee-do-ah a-ha..." but not on the record. I think the only thing it's brand new is the Allright! Allright! duet at the very end. The Beatles, only the Beatles... - Revolution (live)
but hey now I listen and Paul is doing other kind of harmony... more like a normal one. -

Someones put this up on the weller forum http://www.jacatu.de/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=7850 Makes you proud to be British. I must admit on a couple of occasions i went into bolton town centre on hot days when it was busy, and it was like being on the set of the hammer house of horrors. Manchester is good though.

Spain looks more like Sweden than to Britain then... It still makes me want to go to Sweden . Anyway there is good and bad wherever you go, there all kinds of places here.
