Hi, I just posted my cover version of the song "Today" from "Surrealistic Pillow". It's very sparse instrumentally, so sorry, no big workouts from Jack or Jorma. I was going for vocal imitations of Marty Balin and Grace Slick, as well as trying to capture the overall ambience of the original recording. The guitars are a Rick 360/6 and a Taylor acoustic. If this one doesn't conjure up images of day-glo posters, lit up by blacklights in a very smoky :wink: room, then you probably missed the Summer of 1967. Here's the direct link to the page: http://beatbyrd.com/misc_covers

It's the 8th one down. As always, constructive comments are welcome. Thanks. Tom

Tom, another great job. The guitars sound great and your alternate stringing worked good.

You've got a very entertaining web-site ... all kinds of good cover music from standout bands. 8) How do you ever find the time to do so many recordings ? :D Keep it up !
