pop norway cover backingtrack grandpaerik erikvanderlende
During the covid periode I have been experimented with garageband, backing tracks and exploring the deepest part of my voice.
Retired electro engineer and marketing economist - singing and playing music. The online presentation started with my membership in the band The Bluesmates. The Bluesmates was founded in Drøbak, Norway, in the late 90s, three of the original members remained members until the end. The band greatest strength was the variety in their repertorie. They played tunes by Fleetwood Mac, Fabulous Thunderbirds, Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Clash, Finis Tasby, Dr Feelgood, Elmore James, Luther Allison and several others. The Bluesmates have performed in conserts at Drøbak Blues Festival, Gardermoen Airport Hotel, Sonfestivalen, Mossekonserten, Halmfestivalen i Ski and Vinderfangerbukta Bluesconsert in Drøbak. In addition they have also played at dance parties and other musical arrangements. The Band played their own versions of well known Blues tunes together with rock Classics. The studio-versions were performed by: Espen Olavsen - lead-/rythm guitar, Jim Greatorex - lead-/rythmguitar, Robert E. Frøiseth - base, Geir Danielsen - drums, Erik van der Lende lead vocal During the covid time I started trying to find out what GarageBand was about, and I am still searching/learning/testing/trying out. Awaiting for better times I am trying to find old hits that is suitable for my base-voice. Here I sing to backing tracks. I also presents a collaboration between the fantastic, Italian blues guitarist Marco Maenza and myself.

Story behind the song
Wikipedia tells us about "Thee shadow of your smile". Columbia Records.[1] The album includes covers of "Michelle" and "Yesterday", the same pair of Beatles ballads that labelmate Johnny Mathis recorded for his 1966 album of the same name. For Williams these selections initiated a trend away from the traditional pop formula that his album output at Columbia up until this point had adhered to. The release debuted on Billboard magazine's Top LP's chart in the issue dated May 14, 1966, remaining on the chart for 54 weeks and peaking at number six.[3] It debuted on the Cashbox albums chart in the issue dated May 7, 1966, and remained on the chart for 29 weeks, peaking at number nine.[4] It entered the UK charts in July and spent four weeks there, reaching number 27.[5] The album received a Gold certification from the Recording Industry Association of America on September 27, 1966.[6] The single, "Bye Bye Blues", bubbled under Billboard's Hot 100, reaching number 127,[7] and got to number 18 on the magazine's Easy Listening chart.[8] The album was released on compact disc as one of two albums on one CD by Collectables Records on March 23, 1999, along with Williams's 1965 Columbia album, Andy Williams' Dear Heart.[9] It was also released as one of two albums on one CD by Sony Music Distribution on December 28, 1999, paired this time with Williams's 1962 Columbia album, Warm and Willing.[10] The Shadow of Your Smile was included in a 2001 box set entitled Classic Album Collection, Vol. 1, which contained 17 of his studio albums and three compilations.[11]
