Song 1

Rikki your still a teenager at heart .....thanx for the kudos

means alot!

Hi Donny
I don'tknow what's going on but when I first received your mail in my Forum, it had only a direction to "Sound cloud" and this did not show what you have now i.e. Song one ,song 2!!!!
Now it has!
Was definitely worth the wait ...what wonderful performances you have come up with, so really professional and beautifully staged.
It seems that the keyboard (or at least, how you use it)is improving all the time.and as for the voice, what a joy.
I am glad the problem was finally sorted because I am looking forward to many more of your top presentations.
I would even venture to say that these songs have outdone the CD I got from you about a year ago..but then we all improve with age

Hi Donny,
Takes something special for me to post,your Songs 1and2 was that something special.Real pro sounding recording.Man I would pay money to listen to more. Great voice and Backing with nice use of the Vocoder.More Please.

Gilbert.

Gilbert, Eddie......glad you had a chance to give it a listen....I really appreciate it. Thank you so much.

Donny, Your usual fine work. Glad you reconsidered and posted !

Thanx Steve so glad you enjoyed it buddy!

Great work as usual Donny!
DonM

Why Thank you sir ....appreciate it Don !!
One more day & I'll be a KORGIE again...
Today is a Holiday.. "Presidents day" no UPS!!!

Very good, as usual! My only nit to this Louisiana boy's ears is you omitted the word "big" from "For tonight, we'll have big fun on the bayou." There's a world of difference between fun and big fun, my friend. Ol' Hank (Williams) knew it too well!

Of course, you can sing as you please, it's just a silly (yet truthful) comment.) I always loved how he wrote the word big in there. A genius writer!

Bill.......what can I say?...
I'm Wannabee Cajun Yankee I need some more Don M lessons gives me an excuse to comedown south with you guys again...thanx for pointing that out...appreciate the listen..

take care!

Hank fooled around a lot with words in this song. "Tippy-to" instead of Thibodaux, Fountain-O for Fontainenot, for example. He mispronounced Bayou to be Buy-O, so it would rhyme with me oh my oh and Pirogue. He even said Jumbalaya rather than Jambalaya.
Almost forgot, Filly-gumbo? It's fillet Gumbo! Or as the Cajuns prounced it fee-lay.
He "borrowed" the melody from an old Cajun song named Grand Texas, but the words were definitely his own!
DonM

Thanx for that Cajun lesson Don only slang words I know are Brooklynese such as "Fuhgettabouttit"

Thanks so much Donny. I really enjoyed both of those tracks. Great job.

Thanx Nigel... I really appreciate it....I hope it leads to hearing more tunes from the membership if they so desire so we can all learn something from each other.....

take care

Donny,
Terrific vocals & a nice showcase of the Korg Pa800.
Assuming you played these songs in auto-accompaniment style mode,
what Korg (factory?) 'styles' did you use for each of these songs?

Scott

Well, to all you ol' Cajuns (real or wannabes) out there, here's my version of Jambalaya (Jumbalaya?) for your critique. Now that Bill mentioned that ol' Hank liked to use the word "big", I'm glad I had used it as well. So for a Welshman/Canadian, and purely for what it's worth, here she blows!

ARRIGHT! Good job 8. (That's short for 124).
This song can be done in so many ways and can sound good in all of them.
Let's hear some more versions guys!
DonM

Hi 124:

Well I'll be a son of a Cajun.
That sounded great!

Here's a list of some other popular 2 chord tunes:

Two Chord Songs

81 Two Chord Songs

I do a couple of one-chord songs. I'm pretty sure Bo Diddly only knew one chord.
DonM

Donny that was really nice, I like the sound of the Korg and of course your fine singing.

Let's face it , you are the Synthzone pinup boy.

Frank

But he played it SO well !!!

I recall we had 'gone around' on this tune once before ...
Found this in the archives :
NOT Cajun !!!

Nobody seems to have mentioned the most exciting 2-chord song of all time...
PEANUT VENDOR

My alter ego is STILL "Faux Diddley". I got the pork pie hat, the leather jacket, the motor scooter AND the square Gretch guitar.

And I know the "E" chord.

Did a tribute to "da man" last year with the local Philharmonic.

Think of it...the dude had 8 million selling singles; all in the key of E and all about his (D***).


He'll be my hero forever!


Russ "Diddley" Lay

Thanx Everyone for all the kudos....hope do more in the future with the pa500..

Good music, Donny. It even sounds good down here in Florida on vacation...

Thanx Cass ....dont get sunburned!!!
