Safari Duo - Take 1

I got a new jamming buddy. Our very dear Renjith J [also (un)known as Dicoo, Himu...etc]

Upto Something.... the talented Dicoo

A very talented musician, Dicoo can handle keyboards and guitars very well... I knew it since school days, when he was my classmate and used to be an accompaniment to almost all the music shows then. Currently working at The IBM, here in namma Bengaluru, Dicoo just bought a stranger guitar, amp and speaker set and has been in full flow for sometime now. We had been planning to jam for a while, but it never materialized.

So day before yesterday, he came to me saying he wanted a song set for a competition at his office and we decided on "When You Say Nothing At All" by Ronan Keating. Trying to do it, we decided to record it and it turned out pretty well. So here it is


Song: When You Say Nothing At All
Originally sung by: Ronan Keating
Sung by: Raghu
Guitar by: Renjith J (Dicoo)

As you might notice, I mess up the lyrics at a point and again loose pace at another. Just a crude on-the-fly recording on my IBM Thinkpad microphone.

But it turned out to be an anti-climax, with the guitar string breaking off, while Dicoo tried to tune it. When I came to office, he had gone to Richmond Road to get it fixed. All the best to Dicoo for his competition today...

This is announcing the arrival of "The Safari Duo". Expect more jigs in the future. Please leave your comments.....
