Chris is in a band. They do original material as well as Genesis and other covers. I just thought it was a pretty good job. It's one thing to learn the guitar parts, or the keyboard parts or to be able to play along on the Casio, but to learn EVERY part and to be proficient on every instrument screams talent. Look around for his other work.

By the way... Andy, whatever music you crank out, I look forward to hearing.
 
Martin... I just want to hear you sing.

I also never play the same music twice as I improvise 100% of the time.
Blyme, that's amazing!
 
By the way, neither Mike or myself copied anybody. Our submissions were based purely an exercise in sound textures. For me, it was something I always wanted to do. A one off, which I did a couple of years ago.
Personally, I wouldn't want to spend what time I have left on this planet covering someone else's material, when I have so many more songs still unwritten.
But I think this guy who's done the Suppers Ready thing deserves credit for a pretty decent job. The only issue I have is that I find it difficult getting around the accent of the guy singing!
As you say, each to his own.

Doesn't anyone compose original music anymore?
Don't get me wrong, I'm a major fan of Genesis and a lot of other bands I hear the group "covering", but to me music is a personal expression. I also never play the same music twice as I improvise 100% of the time.
Not at all dismissing your efforts, in fact kudos to you all, I just express MY feeling regardless of how much I admire the work of others. I just don't care to copy them up to my maximun ability.
Oh well to each their own.

Here Chris Lawley plays Supper's Ready by himself... All parts except the vocals. It took him 8 months to make this video. He is an incredible musician and a really nice guy. Check it out. It's in 3 parts
