I had no Idea that I was going to write that song.....    I was driving down the road the other day listening to the radio (Outlaw Country on Sirius)   and a song by Ray Wylie Hubbard came on called Conversation with the Devil.  It had that little riff in it and it got stuck in my head. All day I kept playing it in my head.  Next morning the dogs woke me up at 5:10 am and so I was sitting on my porch with my Martin Series X and decided to learn how to play that riff. Finally figured it out --- probably would have taken anyone else on Chordie about a minute, but for me it was quite a while.  So as I was practicing it - i was trying to voice with   it and then words started popping in my head.  Playing and writing are my release from my crazy teaching and coaching pressures. I teach HS Social Studies as well as being the  athletic director and coaching three sports . I'm not a very good player and definitely not a singer - but I do enjoy writing.  Glad you liked it.

Where do you find   drum loops to use ?    I have been trying to figure out how to use audacity ( not very successfully I might add) .   I wanted to add some drum to my songs when I record, but can't figure out where to get the loops or how to put them in ( even if I do find them) .    Appreciate any help or advice you have.

Congrats Mom and dad - that is a great picture!
The greatest of all gifts - an innocent, tabula rosa newborn.
Wishing you a lifetime of enjoyable moments with her.

Although I'm sure Steven Tyler sang this about a woman he loved, I always vision it as a father looking down at a little newborn.

Thanks for the enlightenment - I have never even heard of this instrument before.    These guys playing - Relentless- are ridiculous -    I can't imagine the time that they put in to get to that level of performance. - That is incredible.  Way too advanced for me.

My wife wanted me to play harmonica instead of the guitar - that way I couldn't sing along  
I got one as a gift  and actually found a really nice looking one -  both still is unplayed as I have no friggin ' clue how to play it - and I'm not putting the one I found in my mouth without sanitizing it. .
I kind of agree with Phill as well in that it won't belong before it's Chinese or in North America - Espanol. 
AS for the beer.....   
almost any one will do as long as I'm with my friends and having a good time. I happen to be a fan of Killian's Red .

I have enjoyed the conversations in this thread - you guys are a riot!

Here is the link to the above  song.  To quote someone else on here..... " Listen at your own risk!"     Sorry my singing is so bad.  I just kinda like this song though. My wife would about kill me if she knew I put it out there. but here goes

Hey everyone - Guy Clark sums it up pretty good in this song called " The Guitar "

I have a martin custom X series  - matte finish  acoustic electric.   It has a very unique sound - I love it.  But I will admit, I love my Alvarez RD-20 SC    much better .    I said in another post somewhere... I really believe the guitar picks the player, not viceversa - you just know when you've got the right one. ( Probably the reason we all keep buying them !
