Ed Shoemaker put music and an outstanding vocal to my hastily-written New Year's Eve song, inspired by Tony's post.
I thought it deserved its own thread, so here . . .

Happy New Year to all!

Eddie has always been among my many Synthzone Heroes.

Atta boy, old friend,

Gary

BEAUTIFUL !!

Eddie, Nice job!! Love it!

Being a "newcomer" here (relatively speaking)... I don't think I've ever heard Eddie sing before... not sure I've seen many of his posts... but, Wow! He made this one "his own"... and, naturally, he had a really good lyric to work with. Thanks for sharing, Don... and exposing me to Eddie Shoemaker. Super nice song. Back in East Texas, this would sell a ton of long neck beers at the bar.

Enjoyed so much. Anyone ever tell Eddie that he has a "hint" of George Jones' singing style? Not exactly but many similarities to these old ears.

Don..sent quick draft of suggested melody on email ..not good recording quality and not on par w Eddies but an idea.

Thanks to all who gave it a listen. Recording is not my strong point. I wish I could have given Don's lyrics more clarity.
I also had a 3/4 signature version going thru my head...but couldn't make it fit just right.
Feel free to join in. This is not a contest....anyone who has an idea to complement Don's lyrics is welcome.
Eddie

Didn't get it yet, but looking forward to it!

Got it now. Will listen! Thanks!

I like your a lot too Richard. Thank you so much!
Still waiting for Tony to do it!
Maybe I'll take what I like best from everyone's version and try to make mine.

I'm going to have to read it again a few times before I try to take a shot at it - IF I take a shot at it ...
I won't listen to Eddie's version until I decide what I'm going to do ...

Great! It will be interesting to hear!

Don and Eddie make a great combination. Beautifully done Eddie.

John C.

Very well done! I’m really impressed. I never felt it had the talent or inclination to write songs but I do a admirer those that can. Maybe someday I’ll give it a shot too!

Paul how about a LATIN version?

Great job guys! Gotta get in touch, Ed... been remiss.

Cheers, Glenn

That is an excellent recording,especially at such short notice,top marks.

Nice job guys!

Thought I`d like to try an arrangement of Dons`new years eve
lyrics,sorry no vocals.

Thanks so much! I read this on my laptop at work Saturday night, and then it didn't show up as unread when I got home, so I am just now listening to it.
It is a beautiful arrangement. I will try it for sure.
I've been suffering from a really bad cold in my head and chest and haven't felt like doing much. Had to have help from my friend Robin Vosbury Saturday night at work. The good thing is that listening to him is a real treat! I'll try to post something he, or we, did Sat.
