Cover Song - Whitebird by "It's A Beautiful Day"

Well, this is an old cover song that I always loved. I wanted to give it a shot in the dark and so I did. Many of you have never heard me play guitar or sing before, while others have, so here is your opportunity. Most of this turned out alright, but I recorded this many years ago and it was hard to work with. I just finished mastering it the best I could for what I had to work with, so don't go to hard on me with your comments. I do however hope you will enjoy this version I created and as always your thoughts and comments are important to me. You may want to turn the volume down a bit before listening and adjust it to your liking from there.

    I always liked this old tune...
    I can't really tell what's going on here, with all the echo...
    Sounds way out of sync... There's a lot of hiss too... Magnetic tape noise?

    Frank and Herb, You are both right, I do need to completely redo this from start to finish with new everything, so I think I'll get the guitars out and dust them off and redo this good old favorite song. I guess I shouldn't have even loaded it to the internet. First I'm going into the song tonight and see if there is and hope working on it. I may have another disk with this saved on it in the track stages. If I can find it, I will reload it if it sounds any better. But, Thanks for listening.

    John, what to say?  Oh, you're going to redo it from the beginning.  'Nuff said.

    All the best,

    John, I wasn't gonna say anything cause I don't really remember this tune. Sounds pretty psychedelic the way it is now. Can't wait to hear it when you get it finished!
