You can write, paint.....play, record and sing! Fanatastic Chris. You have come such a long way since you were trying to track down your hiss in the sewer! Is this recorded in your 'studio'? It sounds terrific, and the vocals are really outstanding. Well done.

Thanks SlickCat, like the video idea, I'd insist on going on location and I'd have to have my own dressing room and 300 hangers on otherwise it's a non-starter

Thanks a million Eddiez and for the help you've given me in improving recording, you have a writing credit on this for the Epitomy of Artist dreams line thought that was better than mine so put it in and it worked great

I smell better as well Carol, Yes this is the second track recorded in my new studio it's pretty basic but much better than before I'll post some pictures later it's quite small but the Acoustics are pretty good, I've still got a bit of hiss but I've just set the place up so I'm hoping I can get it better, thanks for the comment on the vocals, I actually edited this with my Wife, I had a few effects on but she said it sounded better without them so the only one left is a slight pan on the end and the fade out, really pleased you like it this is one of my favourite songs and another one from the Uni. thread

I agree with that sentiment Kidhaiti, thanks for listening glad you liked the song,
Anyone who has a go at guitar is a hero in my book takes a lot of dedication
