I've had this song stuck in my head for DAYS! I wish I had someone to duet it with.

Absolutely lovely! Thanks for posting!

If you have the possibility to go, you could perhaps find a duet partner at the Euroweenie gathering? Or perhaps some technically less challenged forum members could duet with you through the internet? Just a thought.

Cheers

Thanks a lot Pan! As always I'd love to get to Euroweenie but i think it's going to be impossible this year.

Fantastic vocal; clean and strong.  You've really found a great singing voice.

That guitar sings as well- I might have to try mine with picks rather than bare fingers.

Not quite the same as a real duet I know, but you could always find a weenie who could record their own part to your recording, and combine them.

I tried it with resident weenie harp player blueingreen a while back, and it worked out okay.

Excellent job Laura.

Superb!

Hope you do get to the Euroweenie gathering one of these days.

Lovely playing and singing

Boy, what a strong job you did, Laura!  I love those big, loud brushed upbeats you're getting and you pitched the song in such a big bright part of your range--you pop the first note of each verse so well.  It's like Jimmy Martin said, "When you got a voice, sing in the tone", it seems like you're really singing in a part of your range where you can push and it sounds and feels good.
All best,
Johnm

Thanks everyone for the comments!  Simon, I never intended to use picks with the Martin but it's really suited to the sweet tone I think.  Using them is also making me turn up the volume on my singing.  That's an interesting idea you have about combining recordings..are you consenting to being my guinea pig?

John thank you for your comment.  The lesson you did for me for "Frankie and Albert" some time ago really helped with this - he seems to have those big brush strokes in lots of his songs.

Nice feel, nice delivery, very good guitar.  Sing it!

[Rivers]

Now that's what I'm talkin' about! Gave me the frickin' shivers!

I always thought you had a voice that could cut glass if you pushed it and I'm very glad to see I was correct, good on ya mate.

I really enjoyed that! Thanks for Posting Laura. Colm

Reading the latest comments caused me to play your video again - and I rarely watch these right through more than once. For me this is one of the most enjoyable performances on Weenie - ever! I love it and might stick it on my Facebook page...

Edit: It's on my FB page and getting a few "Likes" - and so it should!

[Laura]

Wow, thanks PP! I wish I'd worn a pretty frock or something..or maybe not

[Norfolk Slim]

Rivers got it just right.

As for electronic collaboration, I'm happy to give it a go though I'm far from a competent duetist (if thats a word)!

It can be done with plain recordings quite easily.

Could probably also be done with video- I've seen people do split screen accompaniments and such on YT, though I'd have to figure out some free software to do it with.
