Sometimes life is just about always having fun and having a way to look back on it. Isn't that what pictures do for us? They allow us to have a glimpse of our past to look back on and enjoy, laugh at, admire or just serve as...

Green Day

Jim Bauer @porwest (112780) • United States 19 Jul 24

I was just reading a post by our very own Horse around here. You know, that other musician guy in our little space here. It reminded me of a cover I did back in 2004 of Green Day's "Boulevard of Broken Dreams." To date, it...

Today I had mocha and rice.

Dr Souvik Chatterji @sathviksouvik (23235) 13 Jun 24

Mocha is the byproduct of a banana tree. There are covers. Inside the covers the vegetable looks like match sticks. My mother severes them and then cooks them. Coconut and grams are added in the dish. It is eaten with rice.

Better Than the Original?

Jim Bauer @porwest (112780) • United States 6 Feb 24

This is one of those covers I have shared in multiple forums through the years, and there's one thing I always get as a response to it. "Your version is better than the original version." Which of course, is a complement. It is...

A Boring Track

Jim Bauer @porwest (112780) • United States 3 Jan 24

You win some, you lose some. Isn't that just the way life goes? But the fact that you lose some doesn't stop the process of keeping going and continuing to try, even if the result is not exactly what you were aiming for. Take...

When It's Just Me, Myself and I

Jim Bauer @porwest (112780) • United States 3 Nov 23

There is something about just being by yourself sometimes, enjoying life and soaking it all in, just me and my guitar. I do it often just because I enjoy it so much—raw, not perfect, not trying to impress anyone. And from time to...

I Know It's Not Christmas, Folks

Jim Bauer @porwest (112780) • United States 25 Feb 22

Okay. It's not Christmas. But I was not hanging out on MyLot when the wifey and I did this one. Mary Did You Know. But of course, as per the usual, there was some bickering and goofing off involved in this while the wife...

Probably Shared This One Before

Jim Bauer @porwest (112780) • United States 7 Jul 21

I dabble in music if I have not said it before. I do original music and covers. And SOMETIMES when I do covers, I do little videos. So, that is what I am sharing here. A cover and a video I did of that cover. My little...

I Just Have Fun: Fray Cover

Jim Bauer @porwest (112780) • United States 5 Jun 21

I don't remember when I actually recorded this one, but it was sometime between 2005 and 2007. Over My Head by The Fray. Kept this one free of bass, but used my FruityLoops software to write the drum track as I recall. Which...

No strings attached--about masks

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (169439) • United States 23 Jul 20

When I decided to make our own masks, hubby wanted strings, not elastic. So that is how I have made them. I made two for him and two for me. Before that, either places gave us paper masks, loaned us some of their washable ones...

Acoustic Covers

AmberLynn @ScribbledAdNauseum (104615) • United States 29 Mar 20

I have my google home mini playing acoustic covers. I've heard covers for Havana, Lean On Me, amongst others that I can't think of at the moment. Most of the songs on the spotify playlist are piano melodies. It's pretty soothing...

Coronavirusville

Jim Bauer @porwest (112780) • United States 28 Mar 20

I told someone here on MyLot I might just do it. That is, rewrite the lyrics to Margaritaville, break out my guitar, my drum kit, and my recording software, and do a parody. It is not to make light of something serious. But...

Green Day Boulevard of Broken Dreams

Jim Bauer @porwest (112780) • United States 23 Dec 18

I do a lot of cover songs, but this one has been by far one of my best based on the responses I got from it. It took a few takes and multiple tracks, writing drums in a program, but all of the bass and guitar and...

Cover versions that were better than the original

Dave Franklin @davefranklin (51) • Swindon, England 9 Dec 18

Its a contentious issue but just occasionally an artist brings something to a song that justifies covering someone else song. For my money there are a few that are as good as the original, if not better. Hallelujah - Jeff...

I Am No Phil Collins...Still

Jim Bauer @porwest (112780) • United States 8 Nov 18

Here I go again, sharing some of my covers. I just cannot help myself. I did this one back in February of 2017 and had a lot of fun with it. It is such a simple song. But I can remember how much of an impact this song had when it...

It's Good!

pgn @pgntwo (22405) • Derry, Northern Ireland 13 Sep 18

I went down a rabbit hole on YouTube earlier, and I came out in a place I did not expect. Cover or not, the mood here is... well, you judge! Perhaps your burrow will take a different turn...

A Little Riptide

Jim Bauer @porwest (112780) • United States 15 Aug 18

So, I decided to share another song cover I did a while back on YouTube, just because whenever you want to take me seriously this is a way to say, "What the hell is wrong with this guy?" So here is a little cover I did of a neat...

Valerie J. Routhieaux @just4him (323168) • Green Bay, Wisconsin 9 Jun 18

No mishaps this morning doing laundry, praise God. The weather has also turned warm and the rain is out of the picture for the most part, so my knees, which were affected yesterday by the weather system coming through here, are...
