That is really, really, really, really good !!!  Beautifully captured moments !!
and I love this line

"I can't strum a note that could compare to this symphony"  so true ......

nature is absolutely amazingly perfect in so many ways.


I was hoping for maybe one more stanza -of you describing what could you felt....  (i.e.  wind blowing on you,
heat of the sun on your face,  cool of the forest, softness of the moss underfoot  etc.....) to accompany the other senses - but I guess that's me being greedy for just a little more of your great work !

you have made mother nature proud in your depiction for sure.

Thanks so much for sharing

Jim

I do it all the time - i use the notepad on my phone usually to record thoughts that pop in my head --- it seems the easiest for me.

I usually have two or three going - then I forget about them for a while and when searching for something on my computer - they will invariably pop up and I'll go 
" hmmm, oh yeah.... I remember that "   

another scenario for me is a lyric that i have worked on - but can't find the right chord progression - I get mad -   put it away forget about for a year or so :0 )     

I woke up the other night had a great verse and chord progression in my head.... sat on edge of bed - went over it a couple of times...was gonna go downstairs and write it down..... but then said to my self - eh - I 'll do it when i get up - went back to sleep .  You know the outcome probably already -   woke up   "Craft syndrome"  set in ( .... can't remember a freaking thing)  !

I have no idea of words or lyrics - just remember that I had a good one !

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

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
