You swallowed a Bitter pill
Yet try to find love still
Bleak forecast
Put that ghost in the past

A new Die to be cast.

Why do you date while still loving an Ex?
Playing games.
While not knowing you’re own mind.
Pretty + crazy, pretty crazy

Don’t go out foggy and hazy

Head games
Playing with others hearts
Figure yours out
Before you tear mine apart.

Tired of the re-start

Overflow of emotions
Let me know if I move to fast
Let me re-calibrate before
You are smothered,

And I become the past

Shes a beauty that's for sure!

Pics and vids. So dont for get to hit the distortion and overdrive the nice pro-buckers! Get a little BEAMER in your heart and METAlIZE it!

Banjos mystify me. the Ex just "Had to have one" I think in the 7 years she has had it, it's gotten played with twice. ("Oh I have to really work at this! I don't have time for that")

I was pushing for a Guitjo, but lost that one as "Its just another toy for you" - Hummmm well I can tell you the case has a ton of dust on it somewhere by this point.

I know not totally related, but it is my banjo story.

I like the lyrics Beamer and your backing track sounds good. I got a friend who gets on well with his ex wife and her new husband and he often tells me, "once I fell out of lust with her I discovered she could be a good friend."

Exactly. We had a great time but after a few years, and it always "seemed" like nothing I could do (except being a dad, im a great dad) would ever be good enough. Little did I know there was Bar set so high I could not attain it. Funny thing was she couldnt see the barriers in the way either. Now, none of that is there and the kids are all "adults".

It makes a huge difference.

Most definatly! I had not had anythng tw write lately. Then in a "fuzzy foggy" point at 1:30 AM, I ended up writing the one I posted today.

Bill you can use a Piezo pick up. You put it on your bridge or body top. It wont leave any marks.

The Dean Markley is what my buddy used and its a fine unit, but no volume option.

https://www.beacockmusic.com/p-60494-de … ickup.aspx

Or you can have one mounted under the saddle where you plug into the strap nut.

However I think one of the first options is probably all you need.

We cant stop time can we. It is sad. in a band of three, and the iconic pair of Beards, replacing him will be a tough sell. However I shall also be the pragmatic one of the thread.

They will replace him with a hired gun. There are many "A" list players who also can sing who would fill in and do it as an honor. Why? Contractual obligation. Billy could carry the show on his own if wanted to just hire a backing band. He may have to go as Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top, but would anyone really not go see him? Then there is also the fact that maybe Bill is sitting good due to his TV gigs and other stuff, Frank Probably could use the $$ as he is not getting any younger either.

Like it or not the reality is, The show Will Go on and it is a dollar driven endeavor. Lets face it, no one is looking to ZZ Top for fresh new music. (the last disk was "Meh" anyhow)

We all want to hear the classic songs we partied with (so this is first 4 disks and Eliminator). We may politely sit through something new, but when BEER DRINKERS AND HELL RAISERS, TUSH, FRANCINE, AND GIMMI ALL YOUR LOVING get broken out, THAT'S when when we let out the big yell and hands go in the air!

give her the best dates to go away and some of my ideas plus a budget and let her arrange the rest.

And that worked for you?? Somehow It seemed that a budget was like the US treasury saying we can operate on a red one. Vacation was always stressed out due to money. I would come home sick and stressed. - - - Humm, I am Divorced now aren't I.

I like this one a lot! Can't wait til you can play it for us.
The chorus - so simple - but really powerful - the questions millions ask every night searching for answers.
Well done my friend!

It is slowly coming together. Wanting to take a more modern style to this one. The verse progression is taken care of, but the Pre chorus and chorus are giving me a hard time.

D standard/ drop C

V1:
Turning to my pillow,
Another day is done.
Reality is dragging on me,
Where am I to run?

V2:
Will I dream tonight?
As my face goes numb.
Will it tell me I’m Ok?
I haven’t thrown my life away.

Pre Chorus:
I dream in darkness. Searching for light
Will you take my hand? When I wake tonight.
We can walk together, we can walk together
And it will be alright!

Ch:
CAN YOU TELL ME,
IF ALL THAT I HAVE DONE,
WILL MATTER FOR ANYTHING,
OR ANYONE?

V3
Running through this tunnel,
Searching for the light,
No plan ahead
I’m Just fighting my fight

V4
Waking to the new day
Feet touching the floor
Pins and needles tell me,
I’m alive, . . . . Once more

Pre Chorus:
I dream in darkness. Searching for light
Will you take my hand? When I wake tonight.
We can walk together, we can walk together
And it will be alright!

Chorus:
CAN YOU TELL ME,
IF ALL THAT I HAVE DONE,
WILL MATTER FOR ANYTHING,
OR ANYONE?

This is posted here for all the non FB folks. Last Saturday (5 June 21) I picked up a new beauty. A Guild T-Bird. P-90. here is the stock add for it:
"Based on the S-200 T-Bird reissue, the T-Bird ST P90 features the same unique, asymmetrical shape, but with a simplified feature set. Minimalist players will appreciate the added stability and reliability of a stopbar tailpiece and pared down electronic controls, while enjoying the T-Bird’s retro vibe. The dual Guild Franz P90 pickups found on the T-Bird ST P90 are perfect for the player looking for that crisp, vintage, single-coil sound, offering plenty of mid-range output that can be driven to a soaring classic rock tone. The T-Bird features a vintage C shape set mahogany neck, and bound rosewood fingerboard with mother-of-pearl block inlays. Other period-correct details include open gear vintage tuning machines, and famed asymmetrical headstock adorned with Guild’s logo and Thunderbird icon in mother-of-pearl."

While I know (thanks to Z) that the Franz pups are special and always sold out, I am having them replaced with hotter P90 pickups. Ill hold onto them Franz set just in case, but they will probably go up for sale. (get a little money back).

Here is a clip of Sonbeam and myself. Ill do the same song with the new pups and exact same amp settings for a comparison as soon as the guitar comes back from the shop.

As long as it’s fun for both. And mutual. But I this case it’s really not a good thing.

The only line missing there is ; I'll phone you sometime but they never do!
I could feel the anguish in this young ladys thoughts, you've compiled them into a coherent poem. The story tells of lust which never lasts, sex without love is never truly satisfying and leaves the young lady with remorse and in danger of the consequences.
You've treated her thoughts with more respect than the guy in the poem. Well done

Thank you. I did the best I could for due justice and respect.

I met a nice young lady at the pub the other day and she was reading some poetry books. We started talking. I showed her Shades Of Gray (which she really liked!) We exchanged numbers and she sent me a text askeing me to edit her idea and thoughts from a jurnal into a poem.

This is the result.

CAFFEINE AND KRYPTONITE

Caffeine or my kryptonite.
No love, just sex last night
Back to back with hands we still grasp.

The music I play
As you lay there snoring.
Lyrics bouncing off,
You are done, and now I am boring.

You no longer let me snuggle.
So now I drink and hide in this bubble.
I can crash and pretend there is no trouble.

You wake for us to go our separate ways,
Who knows the hours or days.
Love songs have no appeal,
For my heart you did steel.

Thoughts by AG.

lol thanks for that have not heard that in for ever. i suppose that and the ballad of the uneasy rider are where this song came from

That is another great one!

Well the spare was flat and I got uptight
'Cause there wasn't a fillin' station in sight
So I jes' limped down the shoulder on the rim

I went as far as I could and when I stopped the car
It was right in front of this little bar
A kind of a redneck lookin' joint called the Dew Drop Inn
