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.

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

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

Seriously - in there somewhere, there's gotta be a poem  - " Ode to the BM"   or a song " Nineteen Guitars and a Bread Machine"   smile

Welcome to Chordie

Looking forward to your originals .

p.s. I agree with TF - That's quite a tagline on your website:

"The female equivalent of Elvis, and the animal magnetism of Tina Turner."

sounds intriguing !

Beamer,

I watched and this is what I saw ( and heard) ....

"capture the song fresh or there is no song"

That is the quote that got me ------   I have a whole log of little quips and lines - that are songs i started but just didn't have it..

He is spot on - I know when I write one -it just flows   and as he says - then you edit and make some adjustments. 

Thanks for sharing - that was a teriffic insight to the hard work and special talents of music.

Bill just sent me an email as well - good to hear from him .  Dondra is slowly recoperating - says she has " cabin fever" ! smile
Bill says he'll drop into Chordie soon as he can - but his attention is focused on the love of his life - and that is so special.
Keep the good thoughts and prayers coming for them both - he'll be back soon !

Good one Amy !!
Great song -  great exposure to dealing with Autism.

It's up to everyone to to see the glow of the fireflies - it's always there - just have to open  our eyes in a different fashion sometimes.

Thanks for sharing.
