All along the watchtower

[struggle4progress]

There must be some way out of here, said the joker to the thief
There's too much confusion. I can't get no relief
Businessmen, they drink my wine. Plowmen dig my earth
None of them along the line know what any of it is worth

16. There ya go!

We were so into BG when it came out and when Kara's noodling on the piano turned into a full-on version of All Along the Watchtower, it was electrifying. Bear McCreary's compositions and arrangements added so much to that show.

At the risk of being immodest, this is my version where I play & sing all the parts.

Thanks for posting that.

22. Thank you ProfessorGAC. Your guitar work is fantastic. Do you have a studio at home? and do you do all the mixing and

and production work. I am in awe of your talent.

23. At Home Yes

It's a 16 track directory to hard drive digital system. I haven't evolved to recording on s computer.
On that "project" I play & sing all the parts. There are 5 tunes on that web page.
There are no keyboards on the song I linked, but there are on 3 others. I used digital for those piano parts because mic'ing a real piano properly can be a pain. Too lazy for that.
The one thing I'm most proud of on that whole project is that, aside from one harmony vocal that had to redone because I came in early, it's all first take.
I played each part only once. There are some warts, but I think it's solid overall.
Thanks for listening & the kind words.
Here's a link to the songs if you're interested in hearing the other 4.

24. I did. I liked the others too. Your guitar work is as good as Clapton's play with Lennie on the song. And I am not
