and documantarys movies about that subject .
cos i last posted something classy I would
like to share here some groovin .as you notice

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 !

shady grove
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....

Feter said 328 days ago
Peace !!
Hey bro ..is ok .I just glad you enjoyed the song
no need for dope just feelin the spirit of the song
would ok !! ..thnx alot for the kind comment!!

peace !!

bonnieprincejohnny said 328 days ago
Track of the Moment!
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.

Feter said 328 days ago
Peace !!
Ah my Frioend I m glad to see you enjoyed this

peace !

apb said 327 days ago
Are we getting the same ...
.. 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?

Feter said 327 days ago
Peace !
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
you kind comments !!

Peace !

NorthPoint said 327 days ago
volunteers
you captured the Haight-Ashbury feel perfectly. You just might re-ignite a revolution, and Marty/Grace/Paul/Jorma/Jack/Spencer would be proud....
Well done Feter.

Feter said 327 days ago
Peace !!
Thnx alot my friend to hear such kind comments

Cool man brings me back!!

Feter said 327 days ago
Peace !!
Thnx alot my friend ..glad you enjoyed it !!

Peace !!

Joe Brady said 327 days ago
Nice touch on Mr.K......
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

Feter said 327 days ago
Peace !!
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
in playin more styles !!

peace !!

paul f. page said 327 days ago
Memories...

Bring out the oil pans and multi-colored lights...Reverb away!!! You've done a great job capturing that spacey bounce-back with great effects and some excellent guitar work.
Peace.
Paul

Feter said 327 days ago
Peace !!
Thnx alto Paul ..surely glad to see you

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.

Aaron David said 325 days ago
Ha ha.. definitley fits the era...
... or at least the way I understand it (wasn't even thought of yet in the 60s). Definitely some crazy reverb going on... great stuff :).

Aaron David said 325 days ago
Oh...

Aaron

Shady Grove
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

Feter said 324 days ago
Peace !
Thnx alot Wade ..its certainly so pleasant to hear
such kind words from a real respectable musician like you
thnak you so very much for the time and all ...!

and happy new year !!

peace !

five_extra_arms said 323 days ago
So Modern
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!

Thanks for the download!

Bob

Feter said 323 days ago

Thnx alot Bob ..well it pleases me to see you enjoyed this

Doug Somers said 322 days ago
I hear a bit of Mark Knopfler in the vocals
...kind of like his work on the live album Dire Straits 'Alchemy'. You have a great feel for this music Feter. It really comes across with a lot of heart and imagery.

Keep well!
Doug

Feter said 322 days ago
Peace !!
Thnx alot Doug my friend thats realy kind of me
Alchimy is one of my fav .realy appreciated your
kind comments .

Peace !

Calchas said 321 days ago
Awesome interpretation!
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!

Feter said 321 days ago
Peace !!
Thnx alot Mike I m so glad you enjoyed this
and got the impression I m tryin to adapt here
thank you so very much for your kind comments

Feter said 320 days ago
Peace!!

deus ex machina said 318 days ago
the flowers

Feter said 318 days ago

comments !!

ajnorth said 316 days ago
Trippy!
There is definately a DYLAN vibe going on here, it's cool. I don't like the echo on the guitar myself but it doesn't put me off the song. Well done.

Feter said 316 days ago
Peace !!!
Thnx alot my friend ..glad you liked the song
despite the spacey reverb ...!

peace !

sschedra said 315 days ago
Dylan - Airplane - Spaghetti Western
Someone mentioned Jefferson Airplane and it definitely has that sound and the vocalizations are Dylan-esque. It also has a feeling of those guitar themes that you hear on the Itallian westerns. It does acheive the mood. I am pretty amazed because I came here to listen to your stuff after you commented on mine and I find this peice along with your classical peice "Kneeling Under The Mountain". I really respect someone with such a broad spectrum of tallent and appreciation. I need to listen to more of your stuff.

Feter said 315 days ago
Peace !!!
Thnx alot my friend ..glad you find my music anything good
thank you do very much for visiting and this kind comment
Dylan and airplane indeed influenced my music beside too
many others from the 60s so maybe this is all of it !

wonderpus said 304 days ago
super shady in that grove
Nice performance - like the vocals and harmonies. A little distortion came through though. really nice leads, nice backing instrumentation - what is it? keys? syth?

would like to hear without drums and bass or at least less

excellent!

Feter said 304 days ago
Peace !!
Thnx alot my friend ..glad you enjoyed the song
well its made over the psychodelic set band at that time
so the reverb at the maximum why you thought there were
keys ..no all guitars bass and drums from fruityloops .
realy appreciated the kind comments my friend .!

peace !

John Stebbe said 303 days ago
Guitar great
Guitar sounds great, very "British Invasion."

Your voice, and the effects, remind me a bit of Jim Morrison.

Very groovy!

Feter said 303 days ago
Peace !
Thnx alot John realy realy appreciated your kind
comments meat alot here .well morrison ? maybe
cos its bit agressive? ! ..glad you liked the guitar
something glad to see ...!!

MikeBishop said 298 days ago
Sounds good.
It really does feel like a 60's era psychedelic song. The sounds of the instruments and vocals are right on for this type of song. Was this recorded in GarageBand? It says in your description that it was done in 2004, did you use a different set up than you do now?

Feter said 298 days ago
Peace !!
Thnx alot my friend .I m so happy you enjoyed this
song ... well I never be able to have GB .I used
the same ol softwares ..but I learnd more as I m
learning daily from MJers ...you too kind thnx!

MacFerret said 276 days ago
I was there....
This sounds live - fantastic interplay between voice and guitar.
The Dylan comparison is so obvious that I'll draw another: Rory Gallagher; Irish tour.
Great song.

Thnx alot Meferret ..I m so thankfull for you kind
comments and Gallagher ? thats alot my friend thank
