Well the singing is a bit bland in this, it should be played with a capo on the 2nd fret but i just liked it better with no capo. I was gonna add a few solo fills too but got lazy i guess or lack of time. Anyway hope its presentable, its hard to judge your own stuff

Tom,
Well, the singing could be brighter but the strumming and changes are good. At lease you keep working on a lot of tunes. Thats great.

I heard that eddie, i covered this before and removed it from my soundclick cause i was kinda embarrased by it. When i listen to paul do it, it sounds like a song i could sing but its deceptive, anyway thanks for honest comment

It is hard to judge ones own work , but we can only get better by doing it and doing it again and again . Straight answer no Bs here ok your voice and yourself made comment is a bit bland but hey Tom Waits , Bob Dylan make a fortune from bland voices ...

I wish I could only do something like this , so I congratulate you on doing this ..

Keep posting mate I for 1 enjoy your work

Trev...

Tom ,
You don't have to be embarrassed by anything. I think you have always put in an effort to try something. never afraid to continue on. You just keep doing it.
You got your own style.

I found your vocals in a unique relaxing sort of way, sure not as polished as the pro's, but then most of us don't use that kind of recording equipment anyways. I liked the feel of it, thanks for sharing.

tom, I'll agree that your vocals didn't sit right with this song. But... it's still another song in your bag of tricks. And I'd suggest that it would be a good one to have everyone join in for a sing around the campfire. And based on the progress I've seen in your singing, if you practice every now and then I know you'll get it down.

That was great. It transformed the whole song. There's probably a lesson in aural mechanics in that somehow.
