Description : This one is a cover of the Donovan classic rock song. Always was a fan, the Greatest Hits album is worthy of being in your record collection. Season of the Witch is my fav of his. Bass, drum, acoustic and a few electric guitar tracks, me singing, 2 pads, a trumpet and a french horn. Made a few adjustments to the mix, brought out the horn, bass singing a bit more.

Wayne, back in the 60s in the Chicago area, there was a radio station 89 WLS AM. This song stayed in heavy rotation for weeks. Even the little garage band I played in performed it at the high school dance. The bass player was a baritone and did the lead vocals! It's amazing how a great song like this affects the memory. Thank you for taking me back to the day.

Cool how songs can bring you to a place in time. The song That's Just the Way It Is by Bruce Hornsby takes me back to my first job splicing fiber optic cable all over the southern US. I picture myself driving across a cotton field in Alabama to get to the railroad tracks where the cable ran adjacent to and along it's path. That song was so overplayed by the only station we could get, he! Thankfully I still like the song.

Take care Mark! Thanks!

What a GREAT! version of this classic, gritty, raw emotions, & simply wonderfully done!...My father owned a treasure chest of music of every genre from blues, rock, classical & everything in between. I use to have a field day flicking through & listening to all these great old songs :) Your version here, I like. Kudos!

Thanks!

Didn't stray too much from the original, kept it in the ballpark.

Like your father I have discs(over 500) of almost every kind of music from Civil War music, Cowboy classics, bluegrass, oldies right up to todays music. Love it all and can get as much inspiration from Hank Williams as I get from Trent Reznor.

Take care!

I didn't know quite what to expect when I clicked "play". It's an interesting choice for a cover... But bloody hell, you id an amazing job! I had a massive grin throughout. And I was singing along by the end. Absolutely loved it! Maybe you should give Season of the Witch a go? I'm a Hurdy Gurdy Man myself :D

Fave, of course.

far out, Wayne! hearing the love you put into this vibe, takes me back to days mining the cutout bins and discovering all manner of madcap genius. speaking as your agent, we need to start releasing 45s of your originals and put your covers on the b-sides. it’s time to rebuild civilization.

Hola amigo Wayne, hay temas que nunca pasan de moda, sobretodo gracias a músicos tan buenos como tú que nos alegran el día refrescándonos la memoria y haciéndonos pasar un buen rato con versiones tan poderosas y tan bien estructuradas como esta. La canción de por si misma, ya es muy buena, pero tú le has aportado tu toque personal, tu carácter y esa voz tan especial del que soy un gran fan. Que tengas un buen día hermano. Paz y salud.

Just because something is old doesn't mean it isn't good. Take a look at the two of us, for example, lol.

Very cool cover Wayne - great arrangement, love the horns and sounding pretty smooth on the vocal there too mate : )

Thanks! I ditched the lead, shortened the song a little. Did a little fixing to the mix, got the horns louder, after listening they were a little buried.

I tried to sing more on this one rather than just bark out the vocals, like I will be doing on the next one, he.

I kept close to the original, added a few different things and ditched the lead, it made the song too long.

Thanks!

Great version of a classic. I used to have an lp of a women called Julie Driscoll singing season of the witch, loved that song but never knew it was written by Donovan. Anyway nice work man.

Al his music is playable, basic chords and structure. I could do Season of the Witch, played along with it earlier. Here is his version:

I think this was in the Minions movie, fairly recent flick, exposing it to a younger audience.

Thanks man!

Description : "Celebrate the Cornerstone," penned by Kay Matteson, John Matteson, and Richard Shekari, is an uplifting contemporary worship song that beautifully encapsulates themes of salvation and divine love. Drawing from biblical imagery, the lyrics highlight Jesus as the Chief Cornerstone—initially rejected but ultimately essential to faith.
