Hello Everyone, in the absence of Unclehammy and @guitarben I am posting the new challenge. Just for quickness, as we have already lost over a week  I have chosen the theme.

Play anything that originates from the 1960s.

The deadline is Midnight Sunday 30th June.

Here are the tracks:

1) mark_h playing "Wave" by Antonio Carlos Jobim.

 

2) Wim VD1 playing "Leyla"

3) Nutty 1 playing "Nights in White Satin"

 

 

4) Watson43 playing "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow"

5)Texaspackerfan playing "Mamma Tried"

Thanks for keeping things Mandy!

I didn’t want to do anything too  obvious so it’s a little obscure,; the title track from “Wave” by Antonio Carlos Jobim.

This is one of the most difficult pieces for me to play, my timing is never right and I almost always stumble, but I play it anyway, every chance I get. One of these days I’ll get it right. (Or maybe not.) 🤗

Mark

Layla was originally recorded in 1970, but I guess the love of Eric Clapton for Pattie Boyd that inspired this song originates from the 1960's, so it still fits the challenge 😀.

Wim.

Here is my entry "Nights in White Satin" by Justin Haywood, performed by The Moody Blues.

It is a tale of posh bed sheets, wasted stationary and a love that is lost causing pain which no one understands.

You know like when you get that sinking feeling .......I had a bit of a microphone problem during this song.  Looks like I can not have the boom arm out too much on my mic stand.🤣🤓😂

I love that song. I have just bought The Moody Blues 3 cd box set. I am re-discovering them!😎

Well done, Mandy. I found a nice story on the internet about this song being written as part of a musical.

The sinking mic was actually quite funny to watch.

@mark_h, sounded fabulous to me. Beautifully played as always.

@Wim VD1, I love the way you find tenuous relationships between the theme and the song 😁. I remain impressed with the progress you are making, great job.

Well done @Nutty 1, you have a lovely tone to your voice.

Ian

Thank you @Wim VD1.

The sinking mic did add a certain novelty factor. I think you can see when I started to realise what was happening!😁

Thanks Ian.

I was already working on Layla when @Nutty 1 announced the new challenge. So it was either stretching the theme a bit in some creative way or working out another song. I hesitated on doing "Wild Horses" from the Stones, but decided to stick to Clapton. I will try to tame those horses at a later point in time.

I’d love to hear you do Wild Horses some day, that’s a great song.

This was a hit for the Shirelles in 1960, but I did it in the style of Carol King (who co-wrote the song).

Please enjoy.

Very well played, Kevin. I like the singing in  harmony as well.

Excellent @WATSON43, beautifully played and sang. I love that song, they used it in the movie "Dirty Dancing".

Thanks @Wim VD1, @Nutty 1 and @IanD.

Mandy, it's been so long since I saw "Dirty Dancing" I didn't realize it featured this song.  Thanks for the reminder.

Wow!! Danny, that’s fantastic - I love it! I actually like everything about it, it’s a great song that I’ve never heard before and I love your arrangement, playing and singing. Great job!

Just one minor suggestion - I’d like to hear your vocal a little louder in the mix.

@Texaspackerfan your vocals are great, i’ll bet that most people would be very happy if they could sing like you!

Wow @Texaspackerfan that is impressive! Well played and sang.

I agree with Ian, you have an excellent voice and it would do well if it was louder in your mix.

Another great one, Danny. I listened to it several times and looked up the original song as well. Maybe hard to believe, but I never heard of Merle Haggard before. I think I need to expand my knowledge of country music beyond Johnny Cash and Ryan Adams.

Well done!

Wim.
