I liked that a lot - thought he was excellent.
I have been away a week on vacation with my family - one of the best weeks of my life.
So much fun having all my kids and grandkids together in one place with my wife and I.
Topsail Island, NC - it is a paradise for sure
Thanks for posting this Peatle !

Re: Where have you enjoyed playing recently? (5 replies, posted in My local band and me)
Graham- I wish I could sing and play like you or Phill - I would play every venue I could.
It looks like so much fun - even though I have seen a lot of idiots giving live music a bunch uncalled for crap.
Enjoy the ride man, I'm just a wannabee spectator!

That's very interesting Peatle - never heard that before about the proposal and refusal - can't say I truly believe it.
Good stuff though - nice singer.
Thanks for posting

A little rock n' roll here - I used all the words from the SOTM Challenge.
I'm not totally sold on the chords - any suggestions would be appreciated.
Maybe one of the accomplished musicians on here will give it a whirl
also, for some reason it won't let me use just a B - so I made it B7 and it let that work. Beats heck out of me why.

Cool Peatle.
It is amazing the different perspectives that people have in how to spend their lives. They beauty of it sometimes - sometimes rather poor choices though.
I always thought being a farmer would be a great lifestyle but for so many it is so hard and unforgiving. My friend has been dumping his milk because the price is so low it cost him more to ship it than what he would receive as check. so sad after watching him work so hard.
- Thanks for sharing.

Mojo I'm liking this a lot. Greta lyrics and as per usual your playing and singing are top shelf.
I liked the walk down at the end - you are really talented in a lot of ways.

Re: Five drumming songs that always resonate or stick in your head??? (2 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
In a Gadda Da Vida
"In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" (derived from "In the Garden of Eden") is a song recorded by Iron Butterfly, written by band member Doug Ingle and released on their 1968 album of the same name.
At slightly over 17 minutes, it occupies the entire second side of the album. The lyrics, a love song from the biblical Adam to his mate Eve, are simple and are heard only at the beginning and the end. The middle of the song features a two-and-a-half-minute Ron Bushy drum solo.
It was a classic - pretty much the beginning of heavy metal genre.
Ron Bushy's drum solo was the inspiration for Ringo Starr's drum solo on "The End" from the Beatles 1969 album, Abbey Road. It was the last song recorded collectively by all four Beatles.
and of course.....
The Who - won't get fooled again https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDfAdHBtK_Q&t=382s
I agree with Wipeout by Safaris, Zeppelin's Whole Lotta Love
my 5th song /drum solo would be Santana at Woodstock in 1969.
Michael Shrieve was the drummer - really just a kid at age 20 - stepping out on that stage, in those circumstances. A classic drum solo !
The song was " Soul Sacrafice" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_pDjX65vHo
At age 20, Shrieve was the youngest musician to perform at Woodstock
although not a classic " Drum Solo" - Levon helm of the band was awesome on this song.
Ringo did a fabulous job on this version..... Peatle I think posted earlier this past week.
by far my favorite version ever of "The Weight"

Very emotional - could be interpreted so many ways.
So cool that Coldplay wrote it !
Those boys with JoAnne were incredible in more ways than their voices.
