    SOTU 605 - Gold In Them Hills

    Thank you so much Joo, for hosting and for the lovely prize. It’s true, I do love Ron. One of my favourite singer songwriters in any era. I didn’t think it was a narrow theme at all, Ron’s Rawnboy channel was a great resource. I still haven’t got round to listening to all the entries yet!

    I know! I’ve a mind to give Berni a Paddington hard stare if we should ever meet! That’ll learn ‘im!!!! :mad:

    SOTU 605 - Gold In Them Hills

    Ha ha, sorry Edwin, the Peejays have been put away. But that is a great idea for a future Season….hmmmm 🤔. This is my fifth, and most likely, last for the week; I’m working all day tomorrow, busy Sat and working all day Sunday again, so unlikely to get anything else recorded. I really wanted to...

    Woke up and thought I’d throw in another cover of Gold In Them Hills. Still got my PJs on and everything! 😊

    Happy to take 611 Steve 👍

    SOTU 605 - Gold In Them Hills

    He uses fairly straightforward forward chords most of the time I think Joo. Don’t let it put you off. If there’s a song of his you want to try but can’t figure out the chords I’ll be happy to help 👍

    SOTU 605 - Gold In Them Hills

    This is off Blue Boy, which as I said earlier, was the first Ron Sexsmith Album I bought. Tried to find a harmonica to do the solo break but to no avail, so whistling will have to suffice.

    Thank you Joo, I’ve done one or two Ron songs over the years. Always a pleasure, never a chore :)

    Japanese Aria Guitars

    That looks gorgeous. I’ve no experience of Aria acoustics at all. I once had an Aria bass which was very nice 😊. If you’ve played it and it feels right, just go for it 👍

    Are long right-hand fingernails *really* necessary for fingerstyle?

    I play with my pads. Keep my nails short on both hands. Works for me 👍

    And because this one started it all off, so best have another Secret Heart

    SOTU 605 - Gold In Them Hills

    I first saw Ron singing Secret Heart on Jools Holland’s prog many years ago. I thought, that’s a pretty tune, I like that a lot, and then thought no more about him for several years until I saw his album Blue Boy, in a shop and thought the cover painting ( which is by Ron himself) looked...

    Damn you Southern John! I can’t come up with a Ron Sexsmith pun for love nor money! I’m a failure 😞

    SOTU 604 - Love & Heartbreak

    So so many great songs I could have chosen for this season Arvin, what a great theme. I haven’t had much spare time this week but I managed to get this one done, straight to camera , no frills. It falls into the break up category I guess. This is one of the great pop songs of all time for me. A...

    SOTU 604 - Love & Heartbreak

    That whole film Nuts In May is pure cringeworthy genius from start to finish! Kiss Pwudence! 😂

    Seasonistas general thread: yakking, joshing, news and pictures

    Yep. Kind of a scrappy match but very watchable all the same despite a bit too much aerial ping pong for my liking which mostly, it appears to me, serves little purpose other than to gift possession to the other team. Never mind though. Good atmosphere here among les Français. And good luck to...

    I will bring a JP song at some point in the next couple of weeks Joo. His songs deserve to be sung 👍
