oops! Sorry, had to convert the file to another format. This is a HUGE leap for me, but it's all in fun amongst friends! So...



PLEASE NOTE: If video was recently uploaded it will not work yet. YouTube will need a little more time to get the video ready. Please check back again soon.

Hey Craig,

I thought I'd revisit your post as yesterday I had snot for brains and had completely forgotten that you had never sung on your videos before. WOW you would never know that this was your first on camera singing reveal. It was all so smooth, combined with great playing. I enjoyed it even more watching it today and then even more again knowing how hard it is to sing on camera for the first time and that you've been nervous about doing so. You've got me smiling, even with a sore head.

That's a HUGE step and a brave one. And you did fabulously.

Well now that you've outed yourself as a singer and shown how well you can carry a tune, I'm expecting a lot more singing in future posts.

Great job all round Craig, playing, singing and guts.

you can get it if you really want..





You can get it if you really want
You can get it if you really want
You can get it if you really want
But you must try, try and try
Try and try, you'll succeed at last

Persecution you must bear
Win or lose you've got to get your share
Got your mind set on a dream
You can get it, though harder them seem now

You can get it if you really want
You can get it if you really want
You can get it if you really want
But you must try, try and try
Try and try, you'll succeed at last
I know it, listen

Rome was not built in a day
Opposition will come your way
But the hotter the battle you see
It\'s the sweeter the victory, now

You can get it if you really want
You can get it if you really want
You can get it if you really want
But you must try, try and try
Try and try, you'll succeed at last

Man, this thread is a heck of a lot more popular than I ever imagined it would be. Apparently. there's a lot of pent-up demand for playing simple tunes.

Daryl: That's one of my all-time favorite early Beatle tunes, and did a perfect job on the playing. I'd love to hear you sing a little louder.

Marc: Wild thing? Who would have thought you'd come up with that? But a solid job all the way around on this Troggs classic.

Buddy: I became aware of that song through Peter, Paul & Mary. Great job on your version.

Cori and Krista: It's always a joy to see you two in action. You're lucky to have each other to make music with.

Willem: You often come up with some surprising songs, and this is definitely one of them. Loved it!

Cori & Krista, you guys are having too much fun!

Willem, nice one too! They way you sang it, I believe you!

This is the mother of all threads for sure. It has kind of given folks permission to bring on easy stuff and not have to worry about a review or about delivering something more technically demanding. It really is an atmosphere of, pass the guitar. Solid fun and a reminder of how much stuff can be played if you keep it simple.
