Muchas Gracias, Thank you Mojo.
de nada mi amigo
now knowing that it should explain these lines .
he blew a smoke ring and he smiled at me, I aint never going back
and we were flying like the end was not in sight and we soared all afternoon
if you liked that song you should check more of his stuff. Robert earl Kean, all of his songs tell a good story
Mojo great choice of song. It is the first time this Gringo has heard that song and I enjoyed it immensely. I was just wondering what is the DEA the cowboy was running from???
that would be the drug enforcement agency
well it looks like I missed out on a good time. cant wait to see the rest of the pictures
ok so I had every intention of doing bad moon rising, been playing that one for a long time. never realized how bad I sounded singing it until I recorded it. lets just say it don't fit my voice. so instead here is a song I just learned last month by REK.

can I get a second flag? I spend six months out of the year at my second home.
Beamer, great job. I put a note in Soundcloud. This song is HARD. Fun challenge!

sounds like I good time but Texas is a long way from where you guys throw the chordae get togethers.i would love to sit down and play a few tunes with my chordae friends. maybe some one knows how to send a audacity file around by email it could be done that way maybe.
How far are you from Dallas?
3 1/2- 4 hours depending on traffic

interesting as I never really thought about it my self until a few weeks ago. I had made my first CD with the song Zelie that I wrote for my newest granddaughter, and gave the wife and daughter for mothers day. every one loved it including my first grand daughter who is four. now here is where the problem comes in, the wife tells me you need to write a song for your other grand kids. well that would mean three more songs. and that is where the why I write question comes in, I don't why or where they come from.if I sit down with a specific subject in mind to write a song you can forget it. now a certain line or phrase pops in my head and I can relate it to something bingo the song just kind of materializes. so I guess my answer to the question why I write is I don't know. a perfect example is I think is what seems to be the favorite of everyone when they ask me to play one of my songs. oil field trash. that first line "staring at the bottom the bottom of an empty glass "sat in my note book for a longtime. I always had visions of a song about drinking to much coming out of that line.but one night sitting at work looking through my note book I read the line and the second line just kind of popped in my head and the rest just kind of wrote itself. sure it came from experience but I did not sit down with the intention of writing a song about the oil field life. which gets back to where this started the wife does not understand why I just don't sit down and write three more songs for the other grand kids. i suppose if I could do that I wouldn't be working in the oil field I might rich and famous song writer. ahh there is the answer I want to be rich and famous. there is probably a song in that somewhere. well now I am staring at the bottom of an empty glass so I will shut up now before I say something really stupid. as the others have said Peatle great conversation starter thanks for posting it

as promised here is a quick cover of a pirate looks at forty
well the timing on this post is coincidental. I flew out of Houston intercontinental air port ( sorry i am old school George H bush IAH now )on the fourth to go work and while I was checking in I noticed a guy standing off to the side and said to my self that is dusty hill from zz top. he disappeared before I could get my phone out and get a picture. well two hours later who is sitting two rows in front of me ? ZZ top. they had them in a special section in front of business class with a curtain closed once we were airborne so I never got the opportunity to get a picture and I am not the type to bug some one for an autograph but it was pretty cool sitting that close to a group I have listening to since I was a kid. I guess they have a persona to keep up never saw them the whole flight with out the cheap sun glasses on. they had their roadies with them they were in business class with the regular folks
Zurf and mekidsmom ......... agree totally!!!
On that note ......... I am still planning to attempt these 2 songs .... every time i have gone to record them, something has come up ....... will get there
Hope you find time to join in mekidsmom .... great to hear some more from you
mojo .... hopefully you can join in for July`s FSOTM and remember you can always come back and do these ones at any time as they remain open
Jan thanks for the encouragement I plan on giving it a go this month. I haven't picked up a guitar in over a week just got done putting away the guitars here at home getting ready to head to work tomorrow. Been a busy time at home this rotation hopefully when I get to work the urge to play will come back
what the heck throw my name in the hat
I am going to have to pass on this month songs didn't have the time to learn them.
Hi T F. Sorry to pile my troubles on everyone but I been missing due to my partner developing a serious disease and eventually passing away. In fact for a few months I haven't even picked up a guitar. Anyway that's all behind me now and I hope to be back to normal a,s,a,p.
sorry to hear of your loss
I usually check in once a day to see what's going on, I just don't post much. I suppose I live by the old saying better to be thought a fool than open your mouth and remove all doubt
I had to think about this for a minute, I guess my top four if I had to play off the cuff in hurry would be copper head road, wish you were here, pirate looks at forty and oil field trash. I can play those even when I am hammered
I find most of my computer problems are located between the keyboard and the chair
sad news Bill, My condolences.
and I have mastered the art of retrieving them but I'm not telling how

after going back and listing to the original I think I like it better, the studio version is how I have been playing at get togethers . never really paid any attention to it until I listen to both versions. it just kind of evolved but I plan on trying to do like the original from now on
Mojo - This is great ! A masterpiece in fact. Lyrics are top notch... playing and singing is spot on !
Did you ever put the lyrics and chords on here ?Superb song
Jim
thanks TIGLJK, yes it was posted back in October or November as I recall.
