Re: FAV SONGS (21 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I like Outlaw Country and Classic Vinyl on Sirius radio
What's really great is their hosts and interviews explaining songs and giving history associated with them.. The Steve Earle show on Sunday mornings is captivating !!
My favorite song generally depends on the mood I'm in and what I'm drinking

Topic: My Daughter's Anniversary - Husband deployed - Song for them (4 replies, posted in Songwriting)
I wrote this song - I tried to put my self in place of my son in law (Air Force Pilot - Captain)who has just deployed for the 2nd time to God knows where, I think it's Afghanistan this time !
Today is the first Wedding Anniversary of him and my daughter. So I picked up my Les Paul and gave it a try.
I know I can't sing very well and my guitar playing needs loads of improvement, but this means a lot to me and maybe some others out there can appreciate how hard it is to leave loved ones behind. These are the lyrics and chords - if anyone that can really play and sing wants to cover it - I'd love to hear your version.
Hope you like it !

[G] miss
[G] [D][Am][C] [Em]
[Em]As the sun rises on a
[B7]nother day , there's a
[Am] million reasons for
[C] me to stay
[G]Distanced by chance, but
[D] not by my heart
To[Am]gether forever, we'll
[C] never, ever be
[G] apart
Chorus
[G] Ain't it funny how [D]life works out, when
[C] best laid plans never [ G ] come about
[G ] all those dreams, that [D] never came true
[Am] never mattered , as [C]long as I had [G] you
[G] [D][Am][C] [Em]
now [Em] the moon is full in the
[B7] clear night sky, and
The [Am] time has come to
[C]Say goodbye
[G]Hold back those tears cuz
[D]I need you to smile, and
[Am] hold me love , even
[C] for just a little
[G]while
[G] Ain't it funny how [D]life works out , it
[C] takes, it gives, and [G]spins you about
[G ] all those dreams, that [D] never come true
[Am] never matter , as [C]long as I'm with [G] you
[G ] all those dreams, that [D] never come true
[Am] never mattered , [C] long as I'm with [G]you
[D] it never mattered cuz, [C] baby, I'be got
[G] you
[D] it never mattered cuz, [C] baby, I'be got
[G] you
[D] it never mattered cuz, [C] baby, I've got
[G] you

That was fantastic. I am a huge country fan and that made my early morning great!!
After watching that several times I think I watched 10 more videoes of June Carter in her youth. OMG - the innocence , beauty, talent just jumps out at you. So much different than the trash and vulgarity that we see so much of today. Thanks for reminding me of a better world!!

Badeye,
Great choice of JB Hutto !!
That was excellent. As I watched that i could not help but think of what physical shape drummers have to be in to perform like that . It must be unbelievable to do an entire concert ( like 3 hours) and actually the guitarists as well.
They were just having so much fun performing that !!! Something I have always wished I could've done.
Just keep these great videos coming - I look forward to them every week !!

Ok
Here is my version of Dylan's Knocking on Heaven's Door
I added a verse that I wrote b/c I thought there was more to the song than just getting old and not being able to draw fast anymore.
Hope you like it. https://soundcloud.com/tigljk/knocking- … door-cover

Re: friday's blues fix (1,560 replies, posted in Bands and artists)
Badeye,
That was very good.
What I enjoy most about your finds is that along side are links to lots of others that I would never find by myself.
Everybody - check this one out that I found after watching Little Milton.........
What an all star collection !! Holy crap would I have loved to been at that concert.
It includes Phil Collins, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Albert King, Paul Butterfield, BB King, Eric Clapton, Dr. John, and a host of special guest singers
It's worth the watch... thanks for the opportunity Badeye to find this!
