bjornpdx 1,031 Posted April 5 Very very nice Jane. Love the sound of your voice and your guitar playing. I've always wanted to visit Australia and finally (with luck) I'll be there on a nature photo tour in Sept. -Bjorn 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
noynekker 379 Posted April 5 Hi Jane . . . such a gentle easy flow as this song moves along . . . your vocal and the chord progression on the guitar are so in sync here . . . it's very well written and performed, I also really enjoyed the way you presented it in the video, super authentic, wise old soul that you are, I was moved, as it reminded me of someone I used to know. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PhonoBrainer 1,865 Posted April 8 Well that's quite a song, loved your vocal and the guitar, and the percussion supports. Something to be proud of. I did think the vocal was just a bit too forward in the mix, but with such a good vocal, who cares!!! a pleasure to listen to. cheers, -Tom 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for the feedback, too, we have been trying to bring the vocal forward in the mix - perhaps we have gone too far Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The inspiration for Eighty-seven Years came to me when back on the road, the day after the Tamworth Country Music Festival. I was on my motorcycle and at the first stop quickly grabbed my notebook and wrote down the chorus. It’s recorded using my Maton EM100C-808 Messiah tuned to Double Drop D. Love to hear your thoughts.

Thank you! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
