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....)

Covid has been David to many a Goliath !

My wife is on a first name basis with the UPS delivery guy - he drops stuff off nearly every day.

It's ridiculous.

Nicely described.

Jeff,
I hope you you understood what I meant, it was your song that I was talking about that flows very well, I just was comparing it to the other.

Again, nicely done.

The music to this song is quite unique.... it took me to envisioning a soundtrack for an older movie- almost vaudevillian-style.
I could picture a singer like Al Jolson or Vaughn Monroe singing this. 
(This is a similar song it reminded me of   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9WRwRdpl3k  )
it nicely flows from one thought to another.

Well done.

Beamer

Sounds like this knight needs a new castle to find a damsel that truly needs him.
Interesting correlation in the lyrics.

Get on your steed and ride, young man ride !
It seems the known keeps haunting the old castle.  Search for new opportunity,

Just my humble interpretation. 

Thanks for sharing - I'd like to hear how it is played and sung.
I'm sure it is "metalized" ( and oh the irony there - metal ARMOR, METAL SONG! smile ) somehow
Jim

Thanks for all the comments - it is awesome to see chordie come alive !

Russell - this baby plays smother than baby skin !

I am so pleased with this guitar.   Even easy to play barre chords- which I struggle with usually.

JJJ  - so good to hear from you  !  You are at the top of the food chain on NGD  for sure !! Hail to the King!

Beamer - I sure wish I knew how you metalize !!   

ALL - Wouldn't it be a great day if some how we all were able to get together !!    it would be the definition of awesomeness!
