The best covers are the ones that have a unique take. BTW did you know Mick Jagger sang backup vocals on the original?
Very nice interpretation, the sparseness really adds. Addictive.
And thanks so much for your kind words. They really mean a lot.
A night hawk sings. A church bell rings. Echoes flood the night.
A stillness tides past the languids of the park. Then you shuffle by.
Beneath your mack, though there is no rain, your eyes catch mine for a while.
You stop, I suppose to see…
Still learning the keys.
This will be the last cover for some long while. It just seemed like something fun to practice on since everything that appears in my head is usually slow and sad. Now I can practice on something fast and sad!

This is from Dylan's album Oh Mercy. In spite of an intention to stop posting covers of songs and work on something angry and new, I got to the end of this without messing up the piano and only barely mangling the lyrics, I got too excited and…
This is the last one. Letting go is not something I am good at, but this is the last one.

But you only regret what you fail to behold.
After all, it was a once in a lifetime scene…

This was an attempt at using the keyboard to make an instrumental invoking looking for something, thinking it had been found, then finally finding it. Or, put another way, this was a way to practice piano.
Hello Mike. Thank you for the tips on miking a kit, tips that I’ll definitely take into consideration.
As far as your inquiry of our influences, we’re three dudes who have all been in bands both together and otherwise since the 1980’s. Our influences are all over the place, but I’d say that pop music from the 1960’s looms large with all of us…me especially. Almost all of my tunes are straight-up attempts at capturing that groovy vibe….anything that the Wrecking Crew worked on, as well as the mop-tops.
I’m a genuine fan of your stuff, so please keep ‘em coming.

This song was a favorite of a dear friend we lost a year ago. It felt like a good song to practice the piano. This was the first try -- not that it was good, but it just kept getting worse.
The vocals sound distant because they are... the microphone…

I'm not a stickler for pristine recordings....in fact, there are albums that I insist sound BETTER on old vinyl.
This recording is soulful, raw and terrific. Well done.

I strapped on my acoustic and had a go with this great song. Recorded in one go straight into my Boss microBR built in mic. No fussing around wit this one.
Reg went to a funeral of an old friend the other day. He then went for a drink in the cellar and got chatting with Vincent Price and Elvis about life being just a game that you couldn't win no matter how well you played . Reg started jamming over…
I was taken aback, really, expecting, "The Crying Game." Goes to show you should wear your glasses even to listen to music.
Too clever too be depressing. I like it.
An unusual traditional tune from the first Scartaglen album way back in 1984. Going through stuff the other day and ran across the LP and couldn't even remember the tune or having recorded it. I played guitar on this track

A simple mind
not evil or unkind
had lost it's sight
of anything but it's spot in the night
the words should have been unsaid
what they did can't be undone…
Faith is assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.
When Faith goes to the market, it always takes a basket.
The beginning of anxiety is the end of faith and the beginning of faith is the end of anxiety. [George Mueller…
Comments on Mike Denison (Lumberfork)'s stuff
I’m liking the piano sounds like a real one rather than midi but I’m probably wrong
For being angry, the light touch on the piano brought a bit of sunshine. That’s the best way to channel all that anger indeed!
The best covers are the ones that have a unique take. BTW did you know Mick Jagger sang backup vocals on the original? Very nice interpretation, the sparseness really adds. Addictive. And thanks so much for your kind words. They really mean a lot.
Great vocal
Ok, this is great! Your voice is perfect.
Again...soulful. Beautiful.
I'm late to the party on this one, but had to comment to say that I think you really did a great job making this song your own -- bravo!
Enjoyed this one!
Excellent track Happy new year 🥳
Very nice. I admit, it got me in the feelies.
Well done….i’ll have to check out the original, I’ve never heard this one. You shouldn’t curb the covers….it’s ALL better than AI.

Everything you put together is perfect. Thanks for sharing.
Love it.
Great sound, great production, great tone, great vocals... great.
This is crazy awesome stuff. Where have you been hiding?
Way cool and kind of spooky. I always was afraid of middle kids.
Mr. Bojangles meets meaning.... Awesome.
I wasn't too freaked out until 3:45 when Chef stepped in. Awesome.
Kept the feeling of the original. I'm a sucker for a good Floyd cover!
And the ending is extra super double freakin' awesome! Great, cute tune.
Fantastic. Great lyrics. Strangely Beatlesque.
Good jam. I really love the running bass. Poor old Mary. ;(
Looked to see who else has a cover of this. Just fantastic.
Touching. You are beautiful.
Great job. I love this, along with Danny Boy. Something about the beauty and the timelessness of both songs.
I was taken aback, really, expecting, "The Crying Game." Goes to show you should wear your glasses even to listen to music. Too clever too be depressing. I like it.
Catchy little tune. I like!
I'm usually not a fan of a big celtic sound, but this is just amazing. Beautiful and happy. This really moves me.
Fantastic tune. Took me right back to sitting in the dark last night with my scotch....
Improv or not, this is really awesome.
Haunting, but bold and jazzy. I really like this. Thanks for sharing.
