Focus-Hocus Pocus
Yay, Focus! Proof we Dutch people are capable of making quite brilliant music
(something I sometimes doubt

)
Don't doubt
Though there's a confusion/discussion if they were German or not. Mozart was not Austrian, cause Austria didn't exist then... it would like calling McCartney French if France invaded England in the future... They were Prussian really, If I'm not wrong... I don't like much things like "this country-music" or "this country-musician"...But they're all German, not Dutch
I'm sorry if I offend people by saying I really hate this kind of musicWe make music like this

21st Century Paul:
I've done the Mrs. Robinson recording. Complicated for me, especially after a long time without recording anything. There's some wrong chords and a little mess in some place but I'm too lazy to repeat that too... Probably tomorrow I'll mix it and upload it to a secret link on my website so you Evie can download it and record your voice over... I've got the strong feeling my vocals don't fit this arrangement, I was thinking more of the original version... but If I thought on this arrangement the harmonies would have been weirder... I really don't know how it will be until you add the other vocals.
Okay, we'll see. I'm also working on the guitar version of Mrs. Robinson, maybe we can also do that one if the piano arrangement doesn't work out.
The piano arrangement has definitely worked out. But I don't know if the vocals will fit... I seem to be singing half like the original half like a rocker... it's a bit silly, I tell you. But I thought we couldn't do harmonies if I sang like a rocker... but maybe we can't do harmonies with me singing this way either. You can try, if you can't I can record another vocals, or remove some instruments, or add...

I see Dutch, not Deustch... ! Well some of the "Spanish" music that's popular outside of the Spain is some of the worst one. Especially the one popular in the USA and UK... not in South America or France or Italy, that is the really good one.

Some of my adventures: -I realize that flirting is like anything, the more you practice the better you are... (though again it seems to be better when I'm unemployed). There's a lot of things happening to me that never did. But only because I'm doing different things... if you do the same things you get the same results. -Karaoke 2nd night yesterday
. Hey some people are very good singers in places like that
. Some woman that comes with us likes New York, New York but didn't want to sing alone and I like the song a lot. So we did it, half embraced... but well.. I did the quintaessential Sinatra vocal things in that song "I'm go-nna make" "A--a-a-a-andd if..." etc, and people liked it a lot. So I, I like do it alone, but it's great to see people enjoying while you enjoy. Then 7 people did We are the world there. My idea as you may guess
. With only 2 mics.
I had to do Springsteen, Dylan, Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles... and people enjoyed a lot too. I wanted to sing something slow and a rocker. So I choosed Unchained Melody and Led Zep's Rock and Roll. (no AC/DC there, no Highway to Hell, no Sex Pistols, no God Save The Queen
) But like when I choosed Bohemian Rhapsody, it seems something was wrong and I couldn't sing Rock And Roll. It seems they don't welcome rock there much... so I had to change to Unchained Melody. And people enjoyed just from the moment the song title appeared on stage. I had the night's biggest ovation.... and the boss there seemed to like to compete or whatever cause he rushed to the mic to sing some songs... With all the people waiting to sing quite upset...
He did a fantastic Don't Let the Sun Go Down On me, but didn't stop there at all... Well, another night, I might choose 3 rock songs, so at least one should be avalaible... and that guy will not want to sing that style, I know... Great night for me, so I though I should tell it here.

Doesn't surprise me, I know quite a few very good singers who aren't 'pros'. I haven't been to many karaoke places but I noticed that the very good people are balanced out by the ones who 'think' they can sing....or are too drunk to know better
Looks like you had a great time and the crowd loved it too! One karaoke bar I visited had a singer they paid to keep things rolling or to sing duets with if you wanted. He was okay, but sort of 'lounge lizardish'

maybe I knew the "paid singer" yesterday and took it personally... I don't know III don't know... lots of people I know go there for fun, knowing they can not sing well, actually the We are the world we did was all fun, we couldn't even read the lyrics...

New Vanessa Amorosi stuff
yet another cover of It's a Long Way to The Top and a original song from her last album live, Kiss Your Mama, with her playing guitar too... and after that a tremendous new version of PerfectGet Off of My Cloud (yeah, hey! you! :wink
with Ash Taylor
-
And that Vanessa performances is part of a strange TV show, very Supernova-like... RockWiz where musicians do a contests answering rock and roll trivia! Like what have Queen and Duran Duran in common? The drummer's name is Roger Taylor.
Vanessa incredibly didn't answer who sang Piece Of My Heart...from 5.30 on...
only the Like a Virgin misheard lyrics...
the contest goes on... guessing songs... Vanessa vs Ash last part with Ash Taylor kind of mocking Eddie Vedder singing style..

I've taken a look at paypal and it's easier than I though. (almost everything is always easier that I expected it
: :lol
. I started the thing, so quite soon I can put the option of "donation" or "pay some money for the music if you want" in my page. Not selling the music.
But giving the chance for anyone that wants to "pay" 50 cents or whatever for a downloads (or for lots) to do it. As thousands visit my web, I guess someone will do it. I don't trust much the webs of digital download, you never know how much really was downloaded... kind of the same of ads in one's page. So better do it myself. And keeping it free anyway, by the way.

Here's my latest headless video of The Boxer.
Once again vlivantje...That is Beautiful!! I am sure that Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel would love it! It is one of my older brother's favorite songs and mine as well. I hope you don't mind if I share the link with him. I love the comments below the video. They pretty well confirm how lovely of a job you have done with the song!
-
Thanks, Steven (is that your name?)
I'm Evelien, by the way. But you can call me Eve too, like most people here do.
I'm always rather productive in the weekends it seems, I just finished my 2nd fav. Simon & Garfunkel song, and I just need to make a few minor adjustments (in volume and whatever) and I'll post it later.
I hope you'll like that one as well!
Oh, and I'm planning a Beatles song as my next "project" for a change! Got a fun one to play and sing and I've been practising it too today.
-
And here it is....I re-did this like 50 times before I was finally satisfied. And it's still not without its flaws...but I like it!
Can't do better on the guitar part...I just don't have the right guitar.

I think that they are beautiful Eve! It is great to hear such a lovely female voice covering these timeless classics...and your guitar work sounds fine! I have a cd with these S&G songs on them. You are doing quite well indeed! Thank You for sharing these. Steve and/or Steven is fine. Keep up the good work! I think you're building a fan club!
Your voice and harmonies are so beautiful.......they are humbling
