Congratulations!
Now go break it in,
   LR

I hold your face inside my hands
your heart inside my head.
our box is full of precious things
acceptance of what is.

This is a great song Old Doll. Of course, everytime you post one I like it.... I'm kind of having a hard time feeling the rythym of this line:

some have gathered music
other memories left to rust.

Maybe you're pronouncing it mem-reez? Anyway the whole thing is great, of course my favorite part I posted at the beginning. Thats an awesome line.

bonedaddy,
First of all I'm sure I'm flattered, but thank you all the same. Secondly, remember that sometimes simplicity makes the best kind of song. Sweet Home Alabama started with the chords D C G, think of the blues songs that follow the old 12 bars pattern, and then of course country is a great example.  Even alot of Willie's most poetic songs are a simple F Bb and G pattern.

Bonedaddy,I'm glad you posted this cuz thats exactly why I hadn't said it yet....
   Anyway on a more serious note, my very sincere condoleces.  hae a cousin who's vey close, like a brother, who was born with spinebifeda and later got a brain tumor. He should have been dead a long time ago so nobody knows how long he has, we do know his kidneys are starting to shut down and the MRI's on the tumor didn't look good this time.
  Can't tell you the hours and hours I've spent in a hospital room.... he too loves music, actually really likes metallica too, but his all time favorite is Hank Williams Jr. They wanted to get him an autograph for his 18th year (a miracle in itself), so his mom wrote him a letter explaining thier situation and how they couldn't afford to pay for one, but it would mean the world if they could get an autograph. When he got it in the mail I thought he was pass out he was so excited, "To Paul Jr from Hank JR"....He told me a few weeks ago that he didn't have long, so I answered with the usual 'aw come on man thats what they said 4 years ago.." and he said something Ive never heard him say before 'Yeah but I'm tired"...
   Anyway I write all this to say that in a way (probably not to the same extent) understand how you must feel. Even though its sad that he passed away, you have to make peace with that fact at some point before it ever happens, and appreciate the amazing life they were allowed to live. I've had more fun with Paul than anybody in my whole life, and learned alot from him too. So I say to you, my sincerest condolences.....

Hi
Welcome to the forum, looking forward to seeing your songs,
LR

amazing grace is probably the most well known hymn of all time, I guess thats why a lot of people have it at funerals. 'Go rest high' is a country song which was extremely popular during the nineties (in america anyway), the music can be bought at christian bookstores in convenient packaging because its so commonly used in funerals.... 'roun here anyhow...

'go rest high
on that mountain
son you're work on earth is done
Go to heaven a shoutin'
Look for the father and the son'

I have the 'junkert', kind of an east texas word for a crappy old car, but it seemed appropriate. Haven't named my new takamine yet, guess I ought to come up with something....
I've noticed alot of guitars with female names.... interesting. Being a female player I've always associated my guitars with a more masculine persona.

anytime you come up with sumthin' you can always post it on here and ask one of us if we'd like to see what we can do with it. Me and jas have done a couple together that turned out pretty good.... Maybe you've got some lines we could look at??
