OP Mr_Songman Apprentice Joined: Aug 2010 Posts: 219 Surrey,England	Hi all, I think this song was on my Soundclick page the first time I posted here a long while back. And it was the constructive criticism and valuable advice from those on here that prompted me to go back to the drawing board - or recording board - and try and improve my sound. I still haven't gotten around to recording all directly to the PC yet, so still not using Reaper. But I'll get there. So this one done old stylee! This is an example of what I explained elsewhere on here about starting with a song title. A guy at work had been actioning our work diary and told me: "I've got the diary up to date but I haven't got as far as tomorrow!" Great title I thought. And here it is. All comments gratefully received as always!

Especially the line: "She nailed my pride to the floor" By the way, what's that hollow-body you're playing in your avatar photo?

OP Mr_Songman Apprentice Joined: Aug 2010 Posts: 219 Surrey,England	Thanks for the comments Peter! And thank you too Josie - glad you like it! Hi Bob, and thanks. Yeah I like that line too. Straight from the heart that one! The guitar is an Epiphone Joe Pass Emperor. Always loved the look of this type of guitar so bought this about 10 or 12 years ago. Think I've played it about half a dozen times since then. Have decided to sell it now - it seems a shame to have it sitting there going to waste! Not a great guitar, but a nice sound in the right hands! Music is what feelings sound like.

I am reluctant to offer advice on such a good performance, but have you ever thought of singing with a wee bit less American twang. You have a good voice but sometimes the country twang sounds a little overdone at times to my English ears. A more natural accent may be better (unless you're a Texan living in Surrey of course ), then it is ok ) Chris

I think you have a very unique vocal style, which is highly desirable for recording. I didn't realize you were a Brit until I saw Sinbads comment about your accent. But in my opinion, in the world of music it is OK to embrace a theatrical approach and wear a mask. Do you perform regularly, or are you a hobbyist or strictly interested in recording? You strike me as somebody who has been doing this for a while. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ey71h8ep047758h/AAC12jNM0Hz9Q8zsh5iDeqNHa?dl=0

And this Texan thinks your voice sounds okay (no offense, Sinbad). Keep up the good work!
