Hi all,

Ever started to record something and from the very off it all starts to go badly wrong?

I started to record (for no particular reason) 'this little light of mine'. Used to sing it in choir at church when I was but a nipper. As soon as I started playing I realised I was in the wrong key for my voice. Next I thought I had a rock piano selected for the right hand....I diddn't and the organ sound threw me. Then I forgot the words (If I ever knew them )

Anyway for some strange reason (and probably because I was enjoying myself) I kept on going ....like a dog with a bone. It got worse and worse but it was fun.

I listened to the track afterwards meaning to bin it but hey I don't mind sharing my incompetance......it made me laugh it might do you too

Here it is then.... http://members.sniffout.net/nsymon/little%20mess.mp3

OK there was my cock up lets hear some of yours

Best to all
Tony W

Hiya Tony: The best things happen when you least expect it. That's what makes spontaneous playing sound so fresh. Enjoyed your musical repartee. I can tell you're really having fun with the 9000pro. Thanks for sharing. Scott

Hey Tony sounds like you are Enjoying the 9000 PRO.
That's good
I had to listen to your song a couple of time's, sounds
good.
The little bit of laughter in there adds to it.
Thanks for sharing.
Denny

Tony,
nice song! And nice playing too!
I will play Scott's role for once and ask you: which style did you use? and which sound? (I think it's the Cool Organ, but anyway...can you confirm?)
I am also glad that you kept the file size down to 1.45 Mb, so I could download it in less than 15 mins.

I don't Tony, but it sounded good to me, considering I never heard this song before ....and this keyboard does sound good.

Hi all
Thanks for your kindness but I know it was pretty atrocious really, but still funny.

Dreamer the style was gospel shuffle I think and maybe the sound was cool organ. Like I said I was expecting to come in with the piano and got the organ instead (wrong part select button depressed ) I did not really take note of the settings afterwards as I gave the song up as a bad job.

C'mon some of you others must have made a mess onetime or other? Or is it just me

Best to all
Tony W

With me it's hard to tell my messes from the good ones!
My sound card isn't working right now, so I'll have to listen later.

Hi Don,
GET OUTTA HERE Big E will never die for me while you are around... hard to tell your messes from the good ones indeed. Your superb version of 'walkin the dog' is still one of my most played MP3's.

I wish my best days were as good as your messes!
Very Best to you
Tony W

Hi Tony

Thanks for sharing, it really made my day .
I've been feeling ill and down all day long but after hearing your song I felt much better!

Greetz,
Marcel

I HAVE to ask ....... where is that expression from? What does it mean? Here in the states........ it's not generally used in casual conversation. I'm still chuckling to myself here.......

Dave,
don't tell us that you don't know what a "cock" is.....

UD .. thnx for asking .... I was hesitating to do so .... perhaps it's slang for 'muck-up, 'screw-up' and the like? ... I do know that for the most part our friends 'across the pond' don't take some words (such as the 'f' word) quite as seriously as we do ... in fact I know some Irish families (originally from Ireland, and first generation here) who use the term " 'f' er" as commonly as I might use 'darn' ...

Hello UD
whoops I think this may be my faux pas (again)

Here in the UK it is generally used as an expression to mean made a mistake or to have ruined something. i.e. I tried to mend the washer on my tap (faucett) and cocked it up so had to call a plumber. However it has to be said that it shows a distinct lack of breeding to use such an expression

With it's obvious connotations I very much doubt that you would ever hear such language from our own dear Queen! Now some of the minor Royals....(different story )

Best to you
Tony W

Ahhhh Now the f word.....The Queen uses that one all the time

Tony W

Tony,
Finally got my sound working again. You sound great! Smooth and polished.
I think I'll add "This Little Light" to my Nursing Home shows.
DonM

just an observation in fact the Irish use the word FEK al the time .
An Irish group had an No1 in Ireland and it had this word in every line.
jan
