This is my latest song, inspired by Ness' lesson. I was unable to get working through YouTube, but Ness showed me how to do it via Vimeo. Thanks again Ness, you are the best!

Bill that is excellent! I aspire to be that good at both playing and singing Heart of the Matter.
You sound very much like Tom Waits! Nice voice.

Thanks for watching Dennis, but I don't consider your comparison a compliment. I don't really like Tom Waits.

Hello Bill.

Nice job on this song! Surprised me when I saw you playing it in the key of "D". (With capo on the 1st fret to Eb) I would have guessed you would have picked the "C" lesson for you voice. Sounded nice. I am sure it would sound good either way.

Congrats Bill !

Your guitar playing seems effortless and so allows for the vocals to shine.

I hope you will consider it a compliment if I say you are full of wind :)
That is, you show considerable breath control in order to have such a confident vocal delivery.

Your rich voice can adapt to so many types of music, regardless of the tonality of the original singer.

I beg to differ about there being any similarity between Tom Waits' voice and yours. You would need to gargle some gravel for that :)
But Tom Waits is cool ... does his own tunes perfectly ! Sounds just like himself !

That was excellent Bill, such a deep rich sound quality on Vimeo, better than anything we have heard on YT!
Good for you and Vanessa!

Bill,

Nice job playing and singing. Very well done. The little "walk downs" (for lack of a better name) between the lines in the verse are very cool in my book and well done by you!
