Falsetto Fun

A vocal thread for a change! I always feel a bit of falsetto singing lifts a performance. Here's a current favourite. What are yours?

That rooster cry is quite something!  :D

Fun thread too. One of my favourites would be Houston Stackhouse covering Tommy Johnson. Any TJ tune. of course, would be great too.



Cheers

Hi Scratchy

Curley Weaver's  "NoNo Blues" is very similar to BBQ's "YoYo Blues".  Sorry, I don't know how to post this on the site.  Great thread!

Hi all,
Feel free to ignore the pointless and mystifying video that goes along with this performance, but what a performance!
All best,
Johnm

Though I long since gave up trying to do the falsetto when I play it!

I love the falsetto on this Tommy Johnson recording of "Asked for Water.."  This one is a longtime favorite of mine. Can easily make out all the lyrics and the story they tell too.
