Re: March 2017 Song of the Month - Colinda - Endings

Got a question for those folks working on this. How in the world do you end this song? In the Joe Falcon version, they do almost a shave and a haircut ending...I'm looking for something different. The S&aH tag just comes out of nowhere. I'm wondering if there is anyway to not have an abrupt ending...How are you ending it?

Re: March 2017 Song of the Month - Colinda - Endings

To me, this seems one of those songs that doesn't resolve to a definite ending - like the Ossun Special. It just wants to keep going.

Just figure it out and lets hear what ya got!!

The lack of resolution is one of the reasons I'm not fond of this song.

Try closing on a triad that incorporates the traditional hanging note with the proper resolution. The effect is an interesting compromise.

Re: March 2017 Song of the Month - Colinda



Still not happy about my ending, if anybody has a better one, I'm all ears.

Re: March 2017 Song of the Month - Colinda

Enjoyed it very much. Uplifting and danceable- if I could dance!- lots of interesting varied runs and the contrasting ending was effective.

Re: March 2017 Song of the Month - Colinda

Very nicely done! I like that ending. It worked well.

I particularly like the variations you did on the B-part of the song.

Thanks for posting. Good to hear other versions.

Here's my effort, goes on a bit 'cus I was struggling to end it! Made up another turn.
Again on a slow handling G accordion.

I'd like to dedicate it to the memory of Greezy Mcgill- a mentor and friend, please forgive me for the flappy bass fingers.
