Re: Sometimes, Dreams Do Come True (7 replies, posted in Songwriting)
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" !

It's amazing to see how well you all melded together. I especially enjoyed Katie's performance... love when children perform.... they seem to always steal the show.
Well done - you all get 5 stars from me !!

Both very nice videos.
Talented players and singers.
too bad about the rain ... small price to pay however for having good friends getting together for some picking and grinning.
Someday maybe I'll be able to make one of these.

Re: the visit (4 replies, posted in Poems)
very moving Mojo
A wonderful way to remember.
Those are exactly the moments I was writing about in the song I posted last week.
I think you should do a version of that song... or put this tremendous story to lyric and chords
Thanks for sharing it

Re: WORN (7 replies, posted in Poems)
TF that is well written.
I agree with what you included... certainly some or maybe all applies to many people.I know there have been plenty of days where I have been " worn" too.
Yet somewhere in our lives, there seems to be something that keeps us going....... faith ? another person's love ? a kind act by a stranger ? a child's smile ? or maybe it's just hope that another day will bring something better in some way.
People with conditions such as your friend, and those that encounter all the maladies of our cynical world, should be so admired for their courage to fight another day, every day. Seems life gives us a cross to bear in some way.
Thanks for sharing your superb poem

Jan et al......
I thought it was going to be a vote as well, that is why I sent in a bunch just to give some options. However, sInce it went into the hat with that wascally wabbit....... I think that because I was already chosen once before, I don't I should've been the one to be chosen again. Unless everyone is really good with the song take it easy that was chosen - why don't you re-draw and take my suggestions out so another chordian has a chance to be drawn. (Or maybe pick a third one.)
Just saying....
