study break "dirty old town" cover

Post Wed Apr 13, 2011 8:54 pm

was just taking a break from writing my thesis to play a quick pogues song, sorry if it's a bit boring but i thought i'd share my efforts :)
trying to work out how to fit a tin whistle & fiddle part in there to make it more interesting, but don't have time for that at the moment!!

That's lovely.

I'm always jealous as hell of you people that can make pleasing sounds.

Excellent! I am going to play this for the kids tonight. Aidan loves this song and he loves girls so I think this will be a big hit. too bad your sweatshirt wasn't orange; that would have sealed it

Haha, I hope I don't scare him, I look an awful lot like a ghost with the light shining on my face.
I'm trying to work on "Thousands," maybe I'll wear orange when I record that one.

And Steve, jam session definitely!

For me that was a nice break from work. Thanks for sharing and keep them coming. Looking forward to 1000's (dressed in orange).

Sorry, no orange, but here's thousands...a couple of mistakes but it's a long song & I can't seem to get through it without making one here & there, so it's no use waiting for it to be perfect!

Also, I am not happy with how the guitar sounds! But I digress...
