so here goes...

I re-wrote this a bit and changed the chords some.  I think it plays a lot easier and makes a little sense.
Happy New Year to all my friends on Chordie.  May the new year keep you safe, healthy, and full of happiness and love.

I guess I would qualify as a fence sitter. smile 

I agree with both TF and Uncle Joe  - There is a boatload of advances that have come as a result of the space program - including many medical breakthroughs-  our lives have been considerably advanced no doubt.  But I also agree with TF - there is so much waste $  NASA spent $ 1million on menu development for manned mars mission - not to happen for many years
  U.S. gov't pays some researcher $ 75,000 to find out why white grapes have smaller seeds than purple grapes ? 700,000 on soccer field for Guantanamo prisoners  $100million in subsidies to the republican and democrat parties for their conventions every  4 years 

My opinion ....fund good programs - cut the  bullshit - help people with what you save.


Just my thought

Ok - here is the song about Christmas dinner

It's funny ,  but then it's not.

Hope you like it.

If someone that could actually could sing and play it  well, I think it would be pretty cute.

Thanks for listening !

good one badeye

Janis J was a favorite of mine - I remember how proud I ws the day I bought her " Pearl" album.  ( I still have it)
Woodstock was an hour an and a half from my house. I was 17 at the time.

Think about all the great musicians that were there..... holy crap   a concert like that today would carry a price tag of millions and a per ticket cost of who knows what !

I could watch Woodstock clips all day long. 
Thanks for the run down memory lane !!

I chordified this for you.   What a moving song!
Thanks for sharing.

I saw Richie Havens and (actually met him) in 1976 at my college where he was performing.

I do not know if it is different than what Phill or Dino said b/c they are way beyond my playing ability  smile

you can actually get this at guitar center online - it is discounted  for christmas plus they have a 20% bonus off.  I did the math - final figure including NY state tax for me would be $699

ooops I just checked - they are gone at GC,  - only have them in Cherry  and Sweetwater is more expensive - but on backorder sad
Sam Ash has them for 799   They will match GC discounts usually if you call them   .

If I was a better player, and if I already didn't have one (epiphone, Les Paul - not his exact one)of these,  I would buy it. I too hope it's a Chordy person that wins. smile

Phill

Love it... length doesn't matter to me -    if it's good, the listener will be tapping that foot and singing along. ( as I was)
Pretty cool story; not being a musician and never having played in a band - it is so interesting to me to hear about what happens between band members.  I would imagine it's difficult to manage so many factors - egos, abilities, schedules, commitment, who's songs get played etc.....

I think this song would be a great catalyst for discussion as many of the Chordians probably have played in bands. I'd like to read some of there comments regarding those experiences - both good and negative.

Thanks for another inspirational tune !!

ROCK ON FRIEND - Loving it !

KIR - That's pretty much how I play it as well
Phill - Thanks - thought it would be good to put an unusual twist to it.
Bill and Dondra - glad you liked it ! smile

I'll try to get a recording of it when I get it all figured out and have some time - I'm in the thros of basketball season and it takes so much of my time coaching and scouting.

Jim

Nice Dino !!

Joey - you crack me up !:0
