Really don't think you would, Donny. I have been literally threatened with bodily harm when I did it!

Donny, Russ is a tease. I've got a short clip (video) of him doing 'What are you doing the rest of my life' which is fantastic, but despite my harassing him, I can't get him to do the whole song (with just guitar accompaniment, just like in the video clip). I want it to play at my or my wife's funeral, whichever one of us goes first (I'm serious). I'll keep trying though (and hoping he has plenty of time to do it ).

Ok

Great renditions of two great songs, Col. And, what I love about your accent is your perfect diction, which makes every single word and syllable very distinct and crystal clear. There's a big difference in the English languages spoken by those residing in the UK, Oz and US. Not only the distinct accents, but also the diction, which is far more pronounced in other nations than the US. I only wish they would adopt this in American schools. Ironically, there was a diction school in Nashville, TN, USA that taught diction to many, many of the top singers in the US, including Elvis. The lady that taught the course was from London, if I recall.

All the best,

Gary

Thank you Donny and Gary, I've just bought myself a Liverpool to play around with maybe I'll try some Beatles songs with a scouse accent.

Talking about diction Gary, when at the ripe old age of 72, courtesy of a comment posted here by Mark, I went for singing lessons where the young lady really emphasised the importance of diction, I suppose some of it stuck.

Regards, Col

Three nice versions here - although Donny's is missing ?!? - glad I listened to it earlier ...

I don't use a LOT of midi files or backing tracks but I have to say I really like the way Donny built the background with the additional instruments and voices, much like a record producer would ...

Chas, I can think of no greater (or sadder) honor. I'l record it and be there personally to do it, if possible. Look at today's email. I think we are indirectly saying the same thing.

Best personal regards,

R.

P.S. There IS nothing more important or time consuming in my life.

Here's a version I did a few years ago, on Korg PA900.
