Description:
Latley I ve been into too much 60s hippies
and documantarys movies about that subject .
cos i last posted something classy I would
like to share here some groovin .as you notice
I applied to Mr.K alot of spacey reverbs just to
give it the feel .something rockin psycholdelic
bands where doin that,sure i m not half good
as they are but its natural if you want to enjoy
this ..besure to put some flowers on your hair :-)

its an old song I recorded in 04 ..so !

Lyrics:

I still HATE Dylan's singing, but UNFORTUNATELY he does epitomize the 60's, and you have DEFINITELY captured the spirit!!!

What I'm saying Feter is that it's a GREAT tune.

I've never done acid, but if I did, this song would be playing in my head....

Track of the Moment! &mdash 12/28/07 - 06:57:08 PM
Triiiiiiippppyyy. Yeah...I like the odd timing in some of the guitar lines - yea verily I proclaim this -' track of the moment' on Macjams and award it 700 'virtual' Macjams dollars. Sublime riff by the way - easy.

Are we getting the same ... &mdash 12/29/07 - 02:03:41 PM
.. documentaries? I was just watching one the other day on the summer of lurv, hippy hill etc. And this sounds
psychedelic enough to have been on it for sure. A goodie from your vaults I'd say. I too like the slightly quirky timing and good Dylan/Waters-esque singing.

"Yeah, I wish I had a big fat horse" ..classic .. did
I get that right?

[ Reply to This ]
Peace ! &mdash 12/29/07 - 02:07:52 PM
Hey Alan ..glad to read that from you ..and its
always been something I loved to read and watch
cos the 60s connected to my ideal music and heros
yes you get it right and thank you very much for

Nice touch on Mr.K...... &mdash 12/29/07 - 05:42:17 PM
Real nice sound for the lead; reverb/volume just right, gives the song a "depth of field" when countered by the Dylanish vocal. Made me think of what "All Along the Watchtower" would sound like in a spaghetti-western. I just might have to try your tuning method out on my mando.
Cheers,
Joe

[ Reply to This ]
Peace !! &mdash 12/29/07 - 05:56:27 PM
Thnx alot Joe ..words and comments realy appreciated
here ..so kind !

and I asured you you ll enujoyed the mandolin much
withthis tunning ..it felt strange first but then
you ll see this mando turn to be more wider insterment

Feter,
this is groooovy!
A true to form west coast '60's scene. I'm a firm believer that someday the music of that time will be popular once again. I'm hearing new bands that are trying to capture it.

Shady Grove &mdash 01/01/08 - 10:33:24 PM
Hello Feter,
Sorry, for the delay. I had a lot of sleep to catch up on after trying to get some of my songs uploaded. I'm listening to Shady Grove and I'm impressed very much with your rendition. It's like splicing Dylan, Petty and Grateful Dawg (Jerry Garcia's bluegrass duo)and a touch of a Johnny Cash reverb presence.... awesome sound, very powerful!!! Thanks Feter for all your kind & generous comments, but I'm really enjoying hearing you!!!!

Hope the New Year is treating you well so far, Thanks my friend,
Wade

Really is, even though it is a Lost Song from JA.

There are things about your singing style that I find mystifying. Your guitar ain't bad either!

Awesome interpretation! &mdash 01/04/08 - 02:18:53 PM
Almost sounds like an alternate take of Quicksilver's version (minus Nicky Hopkin's amazing piano)! Nice psyched-out guitar riffing really captures the mood of the period. Fine vocal delivery! Great fun bro!

Be well!
