Yep he was only 29   had 35 singles mostly hits

His down fall - alcohol and prescription drugs - pretty much the same nemesis of many stars today !

Died of a heart attack - exasperated by the pills and booze - such a shame, such a waste of a talented life
I do like his songs though - he was very creative.

Good one Bill !
Reminds me a bit of a mix between the Central Scrutinizer from Joe's Garage and the I, Robot movie.
Still giggling about the " OH, God! " part.  very clever of you!!
Great to have you back man  !! Glad Dondra is getting healthier and  back to being herself.
Lastly, thanks for all your kind words of encouragement.

Phenomenal playing.
I cannot fathom how many hours of practice that was required for that performance..
I don’t even know how he remembers all of the movements and notes, never mind the flawless execution
I sure wish I could make my 12er sound like that!

Thanks for the magnificent beginning to flying fingers, it was awesome!

Here is my version of this song.

I'm not a singer and barely a player - but I like the story.  Hope you like it.

Holy crap BGD

They are just excellent !

Guitar is incredible, but rest of players are not far behind. It is a fantastic melding of musical talent and performing.  The ability to inject just the perfect amount of each instrument, with precise fusion, and  at exactly the right moment is superlative! The voice of the singer reminds me of Bonnie Raitt.

Thanks for sharing this --- I REALLY  enjoyed this !  They have a bunch of other great songs as well.

Great job BGD - looking forward to your next find ! smile

I was pretty close - great minds think alike !    smile  smile
I think Freddy Mercury and Frank Zappa were way a head of their time - incredible ingenuity and not afraid to be different.
Thanks for sharing!

I deleted the old posts on this song- thought it would be better for all.

This is my final rendition of the lyrics and chords. ( I hope):)
Thanks for the suggestions from several of you.

Beautiful family

Good luck with the move.
I  think Amy has a good point - I could not imagine moving my daughters as teens - but it does have some valuable life lessons in it.

Thanks for sharing and best wishes !

He is one of the best ever on AI.

The reason he is in such demand is bc he is so freaking talented!!!

On a side note..... BEAMER - are you ever going to tell us the answer to the Freddy Mercury line on the other post ? smile

Phill,

Both excellent renditions !!

I like the Maggie song the best. 
I grew up very poor and know the feelings associated with that. My dad died when I was 8 months old - leaving my mother with ten kids.
Somehow my mother got us through and we all turned out pretty damned well. 
reminds of the quote - " the things you take for granted, someone else is praying for'

Thanks  for sharing - loved 'em both

JIm

WOW !!!!
that is a testament to great vocal ability

Thanks for sharing that Amy   -  very,very good

yessirreeee Cowboys and girls ! Buffalo chips are just that.
Early settlers of the plains used then for fuel for fires, as well as an early version of frisbees for he kids to play with.
with herds of over 1,000 buffalo roaming , they were pretty plentiful.

The Buffalo Chip Campground is an event venue in Buffalo Chip, South Dakota, USA. It is a gathering place for motorcycle enthusiasts and music festival visitors each year, and has been since being founded in 1981.

Hence the guitar  35 year anniversary

R.I.P. Merle
a great, great, talent!!!!
May be the best country singer ever......
"better with a joint than with  a drink"  smile
He lived virtually every country song.
He told his family that he was going to die on his birthday, and he did.

God bless him
