Tim McGraw played a song at the CMA's a couple ( maybe more)  years ago... he brought vets and children of fallen soldiers on stage at end.  I was leaking like a broken dam.  I forget the song, but sure wish I had it. If anyone knows what song it was let me know.

I'm an old sentimental anyway.....  I also coach three varsity sports - and I agree with Amy - everytime I hear the National Anthem it gives me chills.

Lastly - one of my favorite instrumentals was Mason Williams - Classical Gas   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mREi_Bb85Sk

Arkady

I just listened to your  Tree of a thousand stars

so peaceful and beautiful.  It took me to another mindset.  Thanks - it was awesome.
Like the old phrase a picture is worth a thousand words - in this case the music brought  a thousand images to mind.

well done Arkady

Great Episode

Dave Chappelle's was hilarious. So many great skits

I changed the lyrics a tad bit  - re made the demo

It's a lot better - the version - not my singing..:)

Bill and Dondra

When you're all cried out, you've endured just about every pain imaginable to the soul and body, and you feel like all the strength in you has withered away to the point that quitting makes perfect sense......... but for some reason, you don't...............

it is then, that you know that the love you have for each other  is very real, you know that the friends that continue to support you  and offer hope as well as their prayers will always continue, and somehow you will find the courage and the path to overcome your sufferings, and to see the sunrise of another day and enjoy the love and happiness that ensues.

Wishing you and your wife  peace, strength, and love on the way to recovery.

That is awesome.. reminds me of Neil Young a bit.   Excellent playing and singing.
With some bass and drum backing it would be playing on the radio right now.

Amy,
I think what you meant was that anyone ( like Roger) coming wouldn't want to lug their 5- 10 guitars with them. smile

That is a sweet looking guitar.

But in reality, someone could always be
1) getting the drinks
2) singing
3) dancing
4) helping those of us that aren't that good, play with best
4) calming the neighbors
5) or re-directing the po-po 

while the ones w guitars are playing.  smile

dissappointed you didn't include a verse about bread and butter chips (pickles)
it certainly would have rhymed well with lips !   smile

This is a riot. AMy - I laughed out loud as well.... toooooo funny.

Chordians are a riot, not to mention clever musicians.

TY Beestie and Amy.....

OMG - Got my Trio today....   it took me a while to figure it out ... at least to get started......  but holy crap is this thing fun.

I can't wait to actually figure it out for real - as in knowing what I'm doing ! This is definitely $$$ well spent. 
Although my wife might disagree sad

Thank you  Russell !!   smile   smile    smile
