Hi! eek eek eek

I'm back to create another topic and this time
it is a contest! razz

Who will do the best Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers cover song on this forum?

It has to be your own cover, not any stolen
or remixed versions of other peoples covers.

No remix (samples) of Tom Petty is allowed!

This is my first try, you can post as many as
you'd like, and let others know what they think!

That was a nice version. I got a question for ya...I have a multi track...it's an analog cassette...how do I connect to pc to make an mp3?? I have an input in the back of my tower on my pc...will that work?? Then of course I'll need to upload the mp3 to the net somewhere...any ideas on free webspace where this is possible??

Nice work LastDJ. I don't have much in terms of recording equipment, so I think I'll have to wait to enter the contest. Is there a deadline?

Crazy, there are fews web sites that describe a few different methods of converting your cassette to mp3.

I thought thats what that 1/8 in. input in the back of my tower was for. Now all I gotta do is get a song recorded. cool

Great version of "Wild One Forever", that
was my favourite of the three, and I think
you have a good voice, I wish I did wink big grin

...one of my favorites from Echo...

http://HOME1.GTE.NET/res003e5/accused_of_love.mp3

G__________D______G______D
You speak to me in natural harmony
_______G________D________G____D
Like we both grew up with nothin'
______G________D___G_______D
And I can't believe my own memory
_______G_______D_______G
But it one day could be coming
C____G_________D________C________G
And I don't even know the wrong I've done
C____G__________D___C___G
And I don't even care anymore
____________Em____A_______Em_____A
All I know is I believe that you and me
__C_____D____________________G_______D –G -D
Forever, will stand accused of love
___________G______D______G_________D
Watched the sun go down behind London Town
______G__________D_____G_______D
I was burnt, stood up in Mayfair
__G_______D______G_________________D
I caught a train, black car through the rain
_________G_________D_______G
From the trust that hung betrayed there

Chorus
__________G______D___________G_________D
Well, the attorney grins, the witness is drug in
________G________D______G______D
With his face half hid in shadow
________G_______D________G_______________D
Sworn to God and State the truth arrives too late
______G_________D_______G
And defense goes out the window
C_____G__________D_______C_________G
And we don't even know the wrong we've done…
