I got a free trial of some new music software so to test it out (tech note: I know, too many clips and too much noise!) recorded this. Its two songs by two of my favourite songwriters combined together (Harry Nilsson - Turn On Your Radio) and (John Hartford - Turn Your Radio On)...so I guess you can see how they might work together - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BC3xxpK3dcc&feature=youtu.be

Hey Mike,  Very Good.  Sounds a bit filtered through The Beatles (white album) sound.  I think it's the guitars adding that flavor.  Great vocals too.  I was just commenting elsewhere on how professional a lot of these clips sound.  Are you doing this on a computer set-up?
I'm a Nilsson fan, but also big on country and country-rock.  Love John Hartford, but my favorite version of "Turn Your Radio On" is on Chris Hillman's Desert Rose long-player.  Sung by Chris and Herb.  If you like this religious/bluegrass/rock, then you should check out Ever Call Ready, a band Chris put together in 1985 with: Bernie Leadon, Al Perkins, David Mansfield and Jerry Scheff.  Of course, Chris has done a lot of this kind of music on most of his records over the years.
peace,  Will

Thanks Will, yeah just recorded on a pretty crappy old laptop which I spent a lot of money "souping up" when I should have just bought a new one.

I actually just discovered John Hartford about 6 months ago and I absolutely ADORE his stuff particularly everything up until Aereo-Plain. He really needs his own thread in the General Music Discussion.

I'm usually pretty good at finding music on the internet but there is not a trace of "Ever Call Ready" music that I can find online. Seems to be a few cheapish vinyl copies though so I might grab one. Cant find the Chris version of "Turn Your Radio On" either  Sad
