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

Enjoy

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

Message is one I'm sure a few millions guys can visualize from past experiences.

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

Thanks  lol  - that was my intent -  surprise -  just like the message of the song.  I'm still not sure on the chords  -each time I play it  i get second thoughts  ( must be the twerking ! smile )

If any one has improvement suggestions on anything feel free to let me know - I know its not quite right , but then again - neither am I :^(

Nice stuff buddy !!   I agree with Phill - hard to teach own kids guitar or anything smile

Topdown
I have to vehemently disagree with your assessment that Robert is worst dressed....
any man that has a beer, cool shades, a great guitar, a "cowbell" , and a "girlie" calendar on the wall -  in his picture- could never be mistaken as worst dressed. Not to mention wearing an apron sized perma-napkin just in case some shows up with some great saucy chicken wings- always good to be prepared ! smile

Good to hear from you !

Chordie is just not the same when you're not here ! smile

Jim

Phill performed this rendition of the song I wrote.

I could never be able to do what he does to a song.

Thanks so much to him for his time, energy, insightfulness and passion

I hope you like it as much as I do.

K.I.R.    That is hysterical !

I was thinking along the same lines :

Dear Santa,
Can I have a good voice that sounds like singing ?

And not  to be greedy - I 'd like a couple of those cells your dropping off at Keep It Real's house.... that way I could remember the words to more than two complete songs - other of course than Happy Birthday and Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer ! smile

But I will forego everything if you can   bring some peace and comfort to Bill and Dondra - they deserve it.

I too have been comparatively good.

Jim

Lucky
