[Slowhand] Digest Tribute 2003

[Fabio Dwyer]

In response to Mr. Prehn & Mr. Wallemberg, I would like to say that *I AM* 
glad to be part of this project, independent of the level of the other 
contributions. Actually I liked very much some of them, like Keep on Growing 
and If I Don't Be There By The Morning.

I believe the intention has always been to share a good time with fellows 
around the world. Whenever I have the chance to go to a professional studio 
with my band, I invest all the money I have recording original works, my own 
compositions, not covers. I recorded this cover at home, with a backing 
track, just added my (horrible) voice and my (not horrible) guitar playing. 
I do have a carreer as a musician, as a guitar player, not as a singer. This 
was exactly the reason why I sang there, because I don't have this 
opportunity often, just for fun. Maybe, I would even say *probably*, George 
Harrison is shutting his ears in heaven with my singing in "While my 
guitar..." although himself, or even Clapton in his first years weren't 
exactly great singers. So what? Let's have fun, let's play our guitars.

I would like to *CONGRATULATE* all the other contributors, no matter if you 
sing well (or bad like me), if you're begginers or experienced players (like 
me, in my NOT humble opinion), and specially to Scott Wallemberg for the 
great opportunity to play - keep this nice job, man! I love to be part of 
it! And sorry for the delay with the art cover, I'm loaded with work- I'll 
try to send you something asap, but if you have anybody else who like to try 
that too, no problem:-)

That's it, always remembering that anyone has the right to have their good 
or bad opinions, but let's remembers this is a hobbie, not a professional 
work:-)

Cheers from a bad singer and the second best guitar player in the world 
(just behind Kurt Cobain...)

Hi Michael,
Thank you for your comments.
The bi-annual tribute CD is a labor of love and a pet project of mine, so
it's always nice to get feedback from listeners. As a part-time singer and
guitar player I am sorry that my vocal performance on "Let it Rain" was not
up to your liking...My plan was not to do a note for note copy version but
to give it a different arrangement altogether. Yours is the first negative I
have heard but hey everyone has different tastes.
As for the others who contributed....
Please keep in mind that there were several people who had never ever
recorded before and did not have access to all the right equipment and pro
recording gear and learned first hand just how difficult it can be to
capture a performance.
Also I don't think very many of the people who submitted are even in a band
or have ever played live in front of anyone....That said.... everyone who
did submit all took a lot of time and enjoyed the experience and the ability
to share it with friends and fellow digest members....just getting it done
was an accomplishment and I applaud them for having the guts to do that. I
was surprised you didn't contribute a track this year. Maybe next time in
2005.
Scott


<Hi there,

no comments about the new SD Clapton Tribute CD?

I have listened to it and, to be honest: It is a dissapointment!
There were some moments at the SD tribute CD 2002, but the new compilation
has absolutely no highlights. After four or five songs I had the feeling
that all songs sounds some kind of similar. Especialy the voices are all
weak and if I listen to the guitarwork I have to say that we shouldn't
groumble about Eric's playing these days. And what about all those
drumcomputers!?
Where are all those good recordings from the real bands?

Sorry to ya'all, but I'm glad that I'm not on this compilation.

Now it's your turn!

Mike>
