Well, that didn't turn out too well

My voice wasn't up for that yet.

I dropped out earlier, sorry!!!

Yeah it's not an easy one to sing. What I would do myself is record the normal track in a normal vocal then do an overdubbed track with the falsetto in the background.

So it becomes four tracks with two stereo tracks making that up. I do that sometimes; also I may add a last track with vocal effects, lowered in volume but still audible.

There's always a way.

I guess there is

But now I feel more like recording a vocal to something I've written myself.

Am I the only singing guitar solos? I often find myself singing Edge's solos in head voice.

I sing along with solos, all the time.

I don't even remember 1.11pm today - I think I was a little out of it after our 10-hour adventure yesterday. All I know is I did what I said up there, got back and who knows what went on after. That's why you don't drink too much and then not remember anything.

I do remember the show with the 80s revival night, Bob in town playing Red House and a few other numbers (cool little impromptu show), the food we had, a few drinks and a bar after which I shall not mention by name - Adelaide people may know it well. Lol.

I do remember a guy busking with an acoustic guitar as well down from where Bob was - he was singing I Will Survive. I shit you not. And of course, I joined in.

We have a good few buskers and musicians around Adelaide too. These:

I once saw a guy in the subway who was playing One (by U2) on acoustic guitar... I asked if he could play In God's Country and damn hell, he did. I sang with him the whole song and later payed him 5€ - true story. I did a video of it but lost it some time. I have seen him some other times, always playing excellent stuff like Oasis, U2 or The Beatles. Classic guy.

Wow. I'd have definitely had a sing with them. Why not.

I sang with Bob yesterday Red House which was great - and then he played right next to my ear. Those chords went right through my head.
