Cool with me 😀 I’m still hoping we can get a few more to take part...who wouldn’t fancy having a pop at doing a cover version?

I thought the idea employed in the @kafla binladeda challenge was brilliant...where we post them every couple of days...fancy doing that again?

I need to do a couple of tweaks to mine...but I think I’ll be ready to drop it on the forum anytime soon...I’m definitely up for a collab too...if anyone will have me...preferably something I don’t have to sing on 😀

Couldn't wait...I uploaded my karaoke version. How bad is it? (the "mix", that is)

That’s brilliant, Vicki!

Suits your voice perfectly and you and pull it off like you know the song inside out. The backing track is excellent too...a winner!

Thank you @PaulAds ! I love that song and can really get into it. I didn't actually get too carried away this time, but I only sang it once the whole day and that was it.

I'd love to do a collab with you if all I have to do is sing! Something in my limited vocal range, though. Maybe something doo-woppy or reggae or disco or bluesy....or old crooner type. I'm old and I like old music....  8) ;D

IF any of that appeals to you. No worries if it doesn't. I have plenty going on without it. But it would be fun!!

Thanks, John @pompeyjazz
I do love singing that song and haven't done it for a while. Finding the backing track to sing with was a great bonus for my day.

Oh, @Morefrog Jones ... I didn't see you there. Thank you so much. It's a classic in my book.

So...as most of my equipment is in the attic at the moment
The best i could come up with was an acoustic live - one take version of:

Ruby by the Kaiser Chiefs

if it sounds like i recorded it in a bathroom on a phone you not far wrong  ;D

Wow... @Morefrog Jones ... here I thought I was doing good, getting "Only You" out with one vocal take. I could have played guitar along with it, but it wouldn't have sounded anywhere near as accomplished as yours. Really nice job!!
