If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Hey, happy Friday. I hope you've all had a drama-free week.

I decided to properly redo that doo-wop cover of a Zappa song I shared a few months ago.

So here's my version of Carol, You Fool (soundcloud.com).

Grandma you fool. At least that's what the neighbors had to be thinking hearing you sing that over and over and over and over LoL

Sounds good to me!

Sweet! That's a fun song.

Using Chrome, I can't play the in-line SoundCloud while typing out a reply. The two do not work at the same time. So, I had to listen to it all before typing this.

You can open a comment in a new tab and reply to it while playing an expando compatible link in another 😉

LOL If I get time I'll write an 'official' bug report.

It appears to be only with SoundCloud. I can play other expando content while responding. Here's an image:

That's gorgeous.

Thanks! I had a lot of fun putting it together.

Lol, what a great job and great tune. Your vocals are really good and a tribute to Les Paul for inventing multi-track.

Hello and welcome to another FNGT! Like normal, we'll go ahead and get you started!

This week we have something special. The song is played in a kinda duel format, where I play the first guitar and Biff then plays her part. It's an instrumental (of course) but it tells the story of a young man battling their demons until they finally come to grips with themselves and accept their fate (combining for a bitchin' solo, of course). The song should tell that story even better than lyrics could.

The Duality of Man (The Usual Suspects) (share.fngt.gq)

Why this song? Well, there's someone who will understand it and realize it was composed for them. J filled in on bass, the guitar parts were composed and played Biff and myself. (She's come a long, long ways. This shows you what diligent practice, and good instruction, can do.) It's something I've been working on for a while and I'd hoped to record it on the drum kit in Virginia, but decided to push it to an earlier release.

Rock on, Poalr Bears! Rock on!

Phew! That is a ton of notes. Love that hook. It bounced around in my head for a while after I listened to it.

Drumming sounds absolutely exhausting. Like running a bunch of wind sprints.

Glad ya liked it and I'd have rather recorded the drum on the kit i have in VA. Alas, that was not meant to be and I recorded it here. And, yeah, you'll be tired after that.

[–] • 2 pts

Awesome job, guys!

[–] • 2 pts

Thanks! Glad ya liked it. I really wanted to save it for Virginia, as the drum kit there is much nicer. Alas, we did not... We have the individual tracks saved somewhere, so I may piece it together again after I return to VA.

What an amazing display of blazing fingers, from all involved. The strings must have been smokin'. And an original composition to boot.

And that cover art, beautiful.

[–] • 1 pt

I kinda figured you'd like it. In fact, that was pretty much the entire point. When you're done checking out the album art, check the media information. ;-)

I always do cuz I'm special!

Wow. That is incredible. Your wife is so fucking awesome man! What a treat it was to listen to this! Man! Awesome!

She's come a long, long ways. In another decade, she'll be pretty good!

LOL She says to say thanks and that it's 'a bitch' to play.

[–] • 1 pt

She's pretty damned good already

Last weekend my buddy Chris came over and a few other friends joined us and we went in the studio and got all drunk and made a whole bunch of noise. It was so much fun though. Just listen to the turtle (soundcloud.com) and you will see. LoL

I enjoy doing stuff like that, just let people get silly and creative.

[–] • 2 pts

Heck yeah. Everybody had a blast!

That riff kinda sounds like Don't Stop the Music. I had to go find it and it's Yarboroughs and Peoples. Pretty good song.

[–] • 1 pt

The riff is actually the bass line for Low Rider. I was playing it on my guitar though

[–] • 2 pts

Y'all are indeed out of your minds. What a bunch of fun. Laughed my butt off.

[–] • 1 pt

I was laughing so damned much that I was having a hard time playing at times

That's a long one. Listening now.

it turned out to be a long story LoL

Turtles are slow

[–] • 1 pt

Turtles are indeed slow. Well, some of 'em are pretty speedy in the water.

When I was a wee lad, I had family in Beverly, MA. I'd visit and they had a few sea turtles that came to visit in the summer. Somewhere out there is a picture of me riding on a sea turtle (they were fuckin' huge).

Hell, they were big enough so that I could probably ride one as an adult.

I just got back from a bar with a fren. After one beer, I realized I was too tired to hang. It is only 7 pm. FML.

That's what ya get for getting older.

Sit a spell and share some music - or share in what has been submitted. There's (so far) a long track from Crazy and Co. and a rare-ish original from TheBuddha and Fam.
