This is my latest song. It's a Crowded House/Neil Young sounding tune, with vocals (of course), acoustic guitars(6&12), bass, el.guitar and drum loops.
Me playing and singing all...

The song is about not daring to fall in love. Lyrics are here:

See you round Smile

Very nice clean feel to it, I like the vocals, kinda reminds me of Yardbirds meets the Beetles. I really like the lead tones. Your a talented songwriter.

it sounded almost professional, very good job, I liked the main acoustic riff alot. good job dude

I definitely hear beatles all over that NICE MAN!

Great tune. Loved the harmonies. It reminded me of tunes done by the Beatles; Monkees; Crosby,Stills,Nash & Young.

Nice work, very professional recording.

I hear a lot of the same things as the others. Great job!

This song makes me wanna burn my draft card. Excellent work!

Wow. That was very nice of you all...
I'm blushing...

Looking forward to hear your music as well!

Just got my new keyboard home, but I'm not are trying to figure out how to install the software, drivers and stuff. I have never worked with midi before, but are looking forward to learn how to add strings and keys to my music.

Anyone else here that use the CME UF keyboards?

Well, here is a couple of links and pics on it, anyway, if anyone has any interest:


I'm a bit concerned about the (software) installation process, so if any of you have the time to help me out, it would be cool...

See you round. :)

Nice Job, how did you do with the install? Can I say a little Simon and Garfunkel too.

Well, I haven't deared yet.

I get tired of only THINKING of doing a lot of regcleaning and restarting...

Puuuuhhh

Thanks for the nice words, yeah, I agree on the Simon&Garfunkel comparison.

Right now I'm more into this kind of hardware install:

A nicely constructed song with a very light and airy sound. Strong lyrics with just about the right amount of ambiguity.

I'd also go with Big Star and Teenage Fanclub with a bit of Lloyd Cole guitar (Rattlesnakes era) thrown in for good measure ;)

All in all a good piece of work :)

Cheers

Thanks for more nice words. I have never heard of Big Star, Tennage Fanclub, well, I see what you mean. And Lloyd Cole; yes, that is very true!

See you round :)
