....and my heart was beating fast.

Quick, who can name the song with the above 2 lines?

Anyway, I somehow find myself going through all NINETY-SEVEN pages of the "Busking 3- or 4-chord songs" thread and found myself laughing at some of the smart and witty posts and marveled at many of the videos. The thread is SIX years old! My how time just flies. Well, I came across a song in the thread that was just wonderful but the sound quality was just terrible and I was wondering if the original poster might consider redoing the song after six years of recording experience. The song is "You're Beautiful". What do you all think?

What were they thinking posting a video with such horrendous sound!?!? Ouch!

So ... poking the bear has consequences B) the payment of penance for past audio sins. :) interesting.... ;)

As I see it, when you poke the proverbial bear you get results. The challenge is to be prepared to deal with said results. :silly:

Please, poke away. My favorite literary character is Puck and he (or she: the absolute best stage production I have ever seen of A Midsummer Night's Dream featured three young ladies playing Puck, and they tossed the lines back and forth across the stage and the misdirection and disorientation was delightful) would say: poke that damned bear, and damnéd be he who first cries, "Hold! Enough!"

Er, am I mixing my plays? Hate it when that happens. :side:

Are you sure you didn't mean-
"On the road to Rishikesh, I was dreaming more or less..."?

I think there is a lesson here on the revised and released version somewhere.
