We need a Christmas song for December, so my new recommendation is "Christmas for Cowboys" by John Denver.

If we're going to consider Christmas songs, here would be mine.

I personally liked it....   not as gut wrenching comical as some of their (Flight of the Concords) other performances.... but it was quite clever and well performed.
Thanks for sharing Peatle

Awesome poet

How lucky of a Generation are we to have had poets like him, dylan, Angelou..etc.... ?

So many creative inspirations

I like that song Tower of Song, but my fave is still Halleluiah.

enjoyed the el paso performance.... BUT then I looked at the sawing of those rough boards video.  That was really cool - nice machine.  Wish I had one like that.
I saw a few other videos you posted working with large cut  lumber - is that part of your occupation or just a hobby ?   Really cool stuf.

A couple of my best friends live in PA   out near Williamsport in a small town called Hughesville - that anywhere near you ? I went to college in PA as well ( East Stroudsburg)

Thanks for your posts - quite enjoyable

epic game  both teams played with the heart of a champion. Hats off to Cubs for winning

This should probably go in Tuesday flying fingers.  But here it is.  Glenn plays incredibly- more than just a Country singer

Thanks for the listen and kind words.  ( To answer your question - it's my wife.)

Dino
I 'd love to hear your versions too. AS you can tell I can't play well or sing for crap so I really enjoy it when those of you who can cover one of my songs. [If you don't want to sing it - I'd just like to hear how you played it.]

Thanks again

[Song]
{t:Slow Dance (for the rest of our lives) }
C                                                                F
She’s got those eyes that   look right through me
G7                                                                        C
Her tender touch always makes me feel just right
C                                                                     F
So graceful as she moves around the dance floor
G7                                                                     C
I could dance with her all through the night

Chorus
F                                                                                    C
With her arms around me, the world just goes away
        F                                                         C
her kiss makes  heartache  fade into the night
         F                                                                C
Oh,  please make this  love song  last forever
G7                                G                     C
A slow dance for the rest of our lives


C                                                                F
She’s got a heart that ‘s full of love and kindness
G7                                                                          C
And a smile just like early morning sunlight
C                                                                 F
So graceful as she moves around the dance floor
G7                                                                      C
I could dance with her all through the night


Chorus
F                                                                                    C
With her arms around me, the world just goes away
        F                                                         C
her kiss makes  heartache  fade into the night
         F                                                                C
Oh,  please make this  love song  last forever
G7                                G                     C
A slow dance for the rest of our lives
G7                                G                     C
A slow dance for the rest of our lives
G7                                G                     C
A slow dance for the rest of our lives

Great video, great music.

Isn't amazing to see guy's (and girls) like Pegleg and think about what their lives were like.  The true "home of the blues"  - life's stories!
here's a link to one of my fave women blues performers.... Lucinda Williams.... it's @ a NPR tiny Desk Performance........ There are 4 songs.... I love the one at 14:20  called west Memphis- it's based on a true story as well -        https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTu4cXW9H_Q

Thanks for sharing Badeye... you are spot on again !

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
