Graham - Very nicely done.
The solo by John at the end brings it to a whole other level and dimension.
I could see a lot of people with their air guitars jamming with this song.
I really liked it.

I love watching the LLWS - pure competition - with innocence ( except maybe for a few adults) - but great sportsmanship. The thousands of volunteers that make it happen are incredible.
I have been to Williamsport many times as two of my best friends lived in Hughesville and Loyalsock , both which are right next door.
I hope Red Land does well, but I am actually pulling for the South Carolina team.

Re: EPL Soccer - 2015/2016 Season (48 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Wellllll.........hold on there cowboys - you are not alone........
I played soccer for many years
Collegiate level at East Stroudsburg University ( goalie on my team was Bob Rigby- Cover of Sports Illustrated when drafted by Philadelphia Atoms. The Coach of the Atoms ( AL Miller lived up the street from me - I dated his daughter for 6 years:0))
Played for Pocono Snow FC , Worthy Brothers FC( out of Philly) and the Delaware Wings in old ASL. Iwas also selected to play on the National HOF Team out of Oneonta NY ( where the Hall of Fame was located at the tiem)
I have coached soccer at high school since 1976
Been to the NYS Championships 3 times.
I am a soccer junkie as well - My European Team has been Liverpool.
I got to meet Ian Rush and Robbie Fowler in person last summer.
Beckenbauer - der Kaiser was always one of my favorites.
I was at Meadowlands Stadium ( in 1977 or 78 ) when he , Pele, Chianalia, George Best and so many other great players all played for NY Cosmos - crowd that day was over 78,000.
My Father - played for the Kearney ( NJ) Scots) for $ 38 a game - my mom told me it was more than he made in a week at his plant ( early 1940's)
It still continues - as today, I was coaching 22 girls ( high school soccer) -- my 35th year at my school - and I still love every second of it.
Sooooooo TF and Bill - you are not alone ![]()

This is a re- make of the song that I had posted before- I changed the lyrics a bit.
It is dedicated to anyone that has that special person that gets them through tough times.
We've all been there, and hopefully we've all had someone we could lean on to get us through.
Here is the link to my version on Soundcloud : https://soundcloud.com/tigljk/lift-me-up-on-angel-wings

Another excellent lyric and arrangement. It sounded quite " Beatle"ish to me, which is always a sign of excellent music.
Sentiment of the is well established, and the delivered performance was top notch !
Keep'em coming my friend, a pleasure to listen to.
You really need to connect to a music producer - you have a lot of "Texas sized talent " !

Re: Cecil's Tragedy (13 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Thanks all, for your comments.
I made some changes - thanks Bill !!
The writing comes relatively easy for me - the playing and singing - well that's a whole other ballgame.
As for the Dentist - apparently the hunter has now become the hunted -- poetic justice.
I wanted to put in a line some where about the defining silence of his roar - but just couldn't find the right line.
I love the forum on chordie..... so much fun and sooooooo many good people !

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

Re: two at a time? (8 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Mojo
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 !

Re: Have You Ever Cried During Someone's Performance Of A Song? (14 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
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
