That's some mighty fine playing.
Justin Towns Earle plays like that - it always sounds like there are two , sometims three guitarists playing, but it's just one. Wish I could play like that.
It's amazing to see the passion these older bluesmen put into the lyrics - as TF said - it really soothes the soul.
This is a perfect example of why you're the one who knows the blues we need to know!
Thanks man - keep 'em coming - we all appreciate it !!!

I had never listened to a Motorhead song. That was wicked cool. The accompanying guitarist was awesome as well.
Thanks for sharing.

Re: Top 20 sing along songs (13 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)

I know you're being serious and all, but I can't resist.
Maybe you should include this little sing along and ask your wife if it's okay to do this one. 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZ3SC-gVvy0
In reality - I only knew three of those songs. I think you should include some Eric Clapton , it's well known and you nail Clapton every time!
The other one that I would suggest is Van Morrison's Have I told you lately... I think that would be a perfect night ending song for your set...and your voice is perfect for it.

But then again, I'm not musician - what the hell do I know?
Good luck Graham

Re: ST JAMES INFIRMARY (15 replies, posted in My local band and me)

Once again, your playing and singing is top notch !!!
That is a great song.
I did a little research on it as I had always thought it was a grateful Dead song - boy was I wrong.
That has been made famous by some great artists including Eric Burdon, Louis Armstrong , Van Morrison, Lou Rawls, Joe Cocker, Doc Watson, Arlo Guthrie, Tom jones, Harry Connick, Duke Ellington, and lst but not least - Cab Calloway in the 19333 Movie Betty Boop ! (And lot's of others!)
I was amazed on how many different ways this was played, and how many subtle differences in the lyrics there are.
St. James Infirmary - cited to be located right there in London and Piccadilly !!
Graham - Really enjoyed your cover - it was fantastic.
I would love to be able to come to one of your live performances someday, but I guess I'll just have to settle for your posts and videos.
Thanks for sharing.

They are so freaking good , it's crazy !
They played it effortlessly, and made the song have such a feel good aura about it.
I''d quit my job tomorrow if i could play like that.

Topic: Too Young To Die This Old (3 replies, posted in Songwriting)
[Song]
{t: TOO YOUNG TO DIE THIS OLD }
{C:Blame this one on Russell !
He posted his awesome cover of too old to die young from the Django unchained movie.
I must have listened to it 50 times - it is soooooo good!!
Well then I went for a walk and was listening to it on my MP3 player and thought to myself --- if I turn the title around a bit - I think there's a song in there somewhere ! That was a few days ago. This morning I woke up at 5 am and thought about that revised wording of the title and this is what popped into my brain.... about a young alcoholic.
( Don't ask why - it just did ! )
Hope you like it . }
Too Young To Die All Alone
intro
[Em] All alone, I'm all alone,
[Am] All alone, all alone,
[B7] All alone, I'm all alone
gonna [Em]die forgotten , all alone
[Em]Ignored the warnings that I was given
Always, [Am]took the road of easy livin’
though I [B7] knew it was a dead end
and [Em] alcohol was my only friend
[Em] [Am] [B7] [Em]
[Em] family members seem to disappear
I [Am] drowned one more with every beer
[B7]No longer welcomed in my own home
I’m, [Em] bitter, broke, and all alone
[Em] [Am] [B7] [Em]
CHORUS
[Am]When did my life turn into this awful dream
[Em]How did I fall for the devil’s scheme
[AM]Why’d I let my heart turn so damn cold
[B7]I’m way too young to be this [Em]old
I’m [B7] way too young to die all [Em]alone
[Em]Time passes now , slower and slower
my [Am]mirror shows me older and older
[B7] good times are a thing of the past
I [Em]wonder if today is my last
CHORUS
[Am]When did my life turn into this awful dream
[Em]How did I fall for the devil’s scheme
[AM]Why’d I let my heart turn so damn cold
[B7]I’m way too young to be this [Em]old
I’m [B7] way too young to die all [Em]alone
I’m [B7] way too young to die all [Em]alone
I’m [B7] way too young to die all [Em]alone

Wow! Just Wow!
You have the same voicing abilities of Bobbie Gentry..... If someone said this was an early version performed by Gentry, I would have believed it 100%!
I would love to do a cover, but I am not a musician, - can't sing, barely play.However, I AM REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO LISTENING TO ALL THE VERSIONS OF THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE TALENTED PERFORMERS!!!!
Go for it Guys & Gals - I think this is a really cool idea.

Re: A Long Time Comin" (4 replies, posted in Song requests)
Ok - I found it - kind of...
go to this link.... it's on chordify
but the catch is there are two songs... You gotta get through Mr. Muggles to get to Eric's song. It starts on a G chord click on it and it starts to play. Then you can see the chords.
Hope this helps
https://chordify.net/chords/alan-price- … mepictures
once you get there - scroll down a bit and there will be a G with a D under neath it ( it's in the third column)
That's when Burdon Song starts... it shows the keys as he play s and sings it.

Re: Happy Mom's Day !!! (4 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I agree !
My mom's gone (died at the age of 82) My mother was 42, her husband {my father} was burned to death in an accident ( I was 8 months old), no job, and 10 kids on a farm. How the hell she managed - I do not know!
My wife is mom to my three daughters... and she has earned every honor that goes with " Happy Mothers Day" ....trust me.
I wish a Happy Mothers Day to all of the Mom's out there. You all deserve medals or a million dollars or something!
If you had a kid half as hard as I was to raise - God Bless You!
Love to you all on this day and always!
