I should not have read your follow up post first haha, now I can’t unhear it! But enjoyed your cover Peter, it’s one of my favorite tracks from the Beatles. For a raw take you have already a solid foundation. The voice and the instrumental parts sounded a bit “disconnected” mix wise. They don’t sound for me like they are 100% in the same room/atmosphere. That is a thing that I noticed while listening the first time.

Thank you for reaching out to me Peter and would love beside the deals to participate as active member in talks about music, production, passion etc. I think as developer I (and maybe others as well) see how we can use our network of clients can be made enthusiastic to join the board. I will also give it some thoughts on what I could do. It is easy to mention it for example in a newsletter, but would be even better if it could be combined with something that makes people enthusiastic to register and participate.
