Wow Mojo.....  I do believe I see a song in what you wrote !!
Sit back after a couple days and re-read it... I'm sure it will come.

a couple of lines that really jumped out at... might be titles for your song.....
*can't stop the words no more than I can stop the rain
*fading into a storm
*tears among the rain
*words are like me today dark and blue

just to point out a few smile

you are a very, very good writer...... let it flow man

and better days to you -
May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind always be at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face, and rains  end !! ):

OK 
after going through hundreds of posts and trying to search - I have given up. 

I thought it was Dino or Russell that got a new Fender modern player charcoal color guitar.

I ws looking at them on musicians friend site and they have then with no NYS sales tax and was actually considering getting one.

However as I was reading reviews  I rllaized that about half the reviews were the same for these guitars as many of the other guitars.  WTF is that - do they have people that just write reviews for theses places ?  I have come to the conclusion that  reviews online are pretty useless.  Guess I just have to go to a guitar shop and play one.

Russell and Dino - if it was you, do you like yours ? I remember one of you telling me you got yours for $ 299 or something rediculous  , now it's  selling for $ 499

Lol

I don't even know what a pre Amp is smile

I have a Fender 212R Frontman Amp that I will occasionally hook up when no else is home and a little Marshall MG 15Cf amp that I use to play in my office with headphones so as not to bother anyone else in my house.To be honest, I don't even know what most of the stuff on the fender amp does.  The one thing I do like is that I can hook up the Acoustic electric Martin and Alvarez, or the les Paul and Ibanez's I have and pretend that I actually know how to play electric. smile I do like to hook up my trio and play - it helps me with strumming on beat and gives me some alternative sound ideas.   It's fun to me and each time I play them hooked up, I get a little better and I learn something new.

I did a real quick - one take recording- of how i play it. 

Pretty much the purpose being that someone with playing and singing talent could get an idea of what it is supposed to sound like and maybe do a cover of it if they liked it.

anyway ===  my sincerest apologies to your ears..:)

Thanks Badeye - That was a pleasure to listen too. She does indeed sound like her Papa - ( plant beans you get beans!)   - which is a good thing in this case.  The arrangement and performance were superb. She made it her own, yet kept the raspyness  voice of Fogerty in in it a bit. I always get something out of your picks it seems.  Thanks for all your trouble in doing these and the Friday blues ones as well !

Keep 'em coming buddy !

One of my dear friends is world  renowned artist Louise  Fishhman.
She lives in Manhatten, but her summer farm is in my town. 
She is quite a woman if you read her biography. Her forte is abstract art. 

My brother's nephew is Jason Grilli who pitches for the Totonto Blue Jays. He pitched a great 8th inning last night in their playoff win vs. Baltimore Orioles.

One of my best friends son (Ian Smith)  is lead guitarist for country music's Sara Evans

Other than that - I just live near a whole bunch of very nice " nobodies" ! smile
