That was a lot better news than I expected ! 
Hope you have a quick recovery - might give you some time to write a song or two.

So I thought I would start the new year off with a song I wrote this morning.
It's about a love that ended because of chasing dreams.
Sorry that I used the same chords for the chorus as I did with the verses - is that ok to do ?  It just sounded good tome and I'm not a good enough musician to come with something else smile
Comments appreciated. !


Bahaha - changed my mind, changed the title and switched up a verse and chorus....  just seemed better after playing it

It's Love That You Lose By Jim Kenyon


verse 1


.


[D]Sitting by the [C]campfire, as my [G]guitar weeps so [D] sad


[D]As I’m dreaming of the[C] soft look that [G]her eyes once[D] had


[D] start singing a [C]love poem, that I [G]once knew by[D] heart


[D]but the meanings gone [C] missing, since [G] we’ve been a[D]part




verse 2


.




[D]I recall every [C] memory and I [G] still call out her[D] name


[D] you know my heart’s [C]aching, won’t [G]never be the [D]same


[D]I should leave love to [C]others, that [G]can plant better [D]roots


[D] someone that can[C] stay put, and wash [G] the mud off their [D]boots




.


Chorus


.


[D]someday we ‘ll get [C]together, talk of [G]what we used to [D]be


[D]how much that I [C]loved her, and how [G]much she loved [D]me


[D]but decisions we [C]made, and the lives [G]that we did [D]choose



[D] chasing different [C]dreams, knowing it’s [G] love that we [D] lose






verse 3


.


[D]It could have been [C]so different I [G] guess I’ll never [D]know


[D] I should’ve known [C] better, than to [G]ever let her [D]go


[D] Oh those heartstrings [C]and feelings, so[G] hard to for[D]get


[D] Because lovin' her [C] is the one thing [G] I'll never re[D]gret.


.


Chorus

[D]someday we ‘ll get [C]together, talk of [G]what we used to [D]be

This a song I wrote for my grandkids who happen to love dinosaurs.

I made this video of it for their Christmas card thought it was pretty funny.

Nice song performance !
LOL   the shirt -  I    went right to it and said - oh, here we go -  but your singing and playing made me forget all about it
until you just mentioned it.   Says something about how well you performed.

Way to go and keep'em coming.

Great song boys!

So true... my philosophy is that as long as you have your health - you are wealthy as any person alive.  Anything else is just replaceable conveniences at differing levels.
This song depicts that quite well. 
Loved the worm in the apple part of the video - quite entertaining.
Nice lyrics Peatle  and of course Phill is still quite fantastic!

let's hear it !

Here is the update.....



On Tuesday, the Nashville-based guitar company Gibson Brands announced a crop of new executives who hope to guide the business through a pivotal transition in its 124-year history, as the company emerges from bankruptcy protection. The company's newly named president and CEO is James "JC" Curleigh, who is exiting his role as president of Levi Strauss & Co. to take the position.

The rest of the newly appointed leadership team is chief merchant officer Cesar Gueikian, chief financial officer Kim Mattoon and chief production officer Christian Schmitz.


Earlier this month, a U.S. bankruptcy court in Delaware approved the company's reorganization plan, which allows it to exit bankruptcy and keep itself in business. On Nov. 1, in parallel to the new executive team's first day on the job, the investment firm Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. (KKR) will assume majority ownership control of Gibson. The incoming chairman of the company's board of directors will be Nat Zilkha of KKR. He is also the former lead guitarist of the New York band Red Rooster, which released three albums in the 2000s and appeared at the Newport Folk Festival in 2008.


ps.  My two Gibson's sound very nice - no complaints here.
hard to believe a giant like this could even be in financial trouble.... but it joined a long list. ( general motors, guitar center, j.c.Penney, Remington, Sears& Roebuck, etc....)
