Ok as promised I had a little time today took the S-950 inside and recorded my version of "Mary Did You Know" for all to hear....using Mixcraft to record it on my PC.:
Instruments used,...Live Slide Steel, Sweet Soprano Sax, Gothic ox, Live Allegro Strings, Sweet Violin
I used the Country Ballad style & vocals right thru the
S950 KB also,...being a NEW song to me till I heard it on SZ last week it took me about 4 or 5 takes but finally got it,....

enjoy my friends headphone

Happy New Year to All

Well, Donny, for a newly learned song, this is an impressive recording.

The style worked perfectly, and your vocal was very good indeed.

Nicely done, my friend.

VERY nice job Donny ... didn't expect anything less ... thought I heard a little bit of 'Englebert' in the bridge smile ... clap clap clap

I find it very interesting to hear how different S-Zers have interpreted this beautiful song ...
Nicely done ...

I thought it was a bit too fast, but really nailed the vocals and instrumental.

Cheers,

Wow, I have to say I'm REALLY, REALLY impressed. I must have missed some of your earlier stuff 'cause I had no idea you had such a great voice. Great expression and feeling too. Real talent there for sure. The only tiny criticism I would have is maybe turn the volume down a hair on the guitar and take a little of the treble off (the guitar). Otherwise, spectacular. Beautiful song too.

Thanx Chas.....appreciate the critique...as I said this was a rough single take....with some calm and some multitracks I know it could be done a little better.

Happy New Year!

I know we all like to tease Donny once and awhile, but there's no getting away from it Chas...the man can sing!

Donny has what I call a "listenable voice"...it just is easy to listen to...not harsh, lots of harmonics and richness, great control, good pitch...hey, I better stop before he lets this go to his head...ha ha!

Donny, I started writing a song for you but ran out of inspiration,it went a bit like this:

Oh Donny Boy, the voice, the voice is sounding
In cyberspace, so very sweet and clear
With Mary's song, we heard you for the first time
but many more songs, we would like to hear.

So come ye back, when all your gigs are finished
Your loving fans, are faithful, never fear
we will wait, with great anticipation
For the sound of all, your new songs, posted here

I was I was going to record it but I couldn't think of a melody. LOL

Any excuse is better than none.

All the very best

Col

Talking of song writing, I have been known to post a song or two on another forum and I penned a little ditty which would be quite appropriate here with a word or two changed.

https://app.box.com/s/ofa80wgkuafti2p0x4w3

If you lot don't behave I might just write one for you and I can be very cutting, you have been warned. darthvader

I might just have a spot of bother finding words to rhyme with Diki rotfl

There once was a boy named Diki,
Who woke up one day with a hicky,
Diki said, "man this is tricky,
'cause I'm generally very very picky.

It must have been someone who knew me,
And was able to see right through me,
She bit on my neck, and marked me, by heck,
And then she bent down and . . . (I can't finish this on a public forum!} smile
Repeat Chorus!!!
