September 2012 - SOTW Progress

Busy month.  Lot's of things going on, like my eldest daughter's wedding.  Where did those 28 years go to?  Anyhooo, the song-of-the-week project moves steadily along...

I posted quite a bit of fingerstyle material this month.  The consistent feedback was that I should focus on developing vocal independence from the guitar work.  Some of the right-hand work could be a bit smoother - mostly a case of 'practice makes perfect.'  I think it is the price for working hard to try and introduce variety, complexity, and interest into the performance


Here are September's songs:

Week # 35: The Water Is Wide, traditional English Folk Ballad - author unknown

Week # 36: King Of The Road, Roger Miller, 1964

Week # 37: People Get Ready, Curtis Mayfield, 1965

Week # 38: Where Have All The Flowers Gone, Pete Seeger, 1955
 
Week # 39: I'll Fly Away, Albert E. Brumley, 1929
