We prefer to keep to ourselves, or perhaps to visit with our neighbors for a bit and then send them home.  It is how we have a Happy Thanksgiving.  I hope that each of my American Chordie friends has a wonderful day doing whatever it is that makes you grateful, whether that be volunteering to help others, watching football, being with family, or what-all. 

As for the non-U.S. folks on the board, I hope you each have an Awesome Thursday.

It's kind of a fun song to play.  I may give my neighbors some wine and then record it again with a room mic and them singing along on the choruses.  One of my neighbors picks too, so he can strum along.

Very nicely done Roger!  Your voice fits that song perfectly.

No worries.

I spent six weeks working on Ripple, and six seconds working on Friends In Low Places.  I honestly had not even got through the lyrics the whole way before trying it.  I didn't realize when I started that I had pulled a non-radio version of the lyrics.  LOL!  So - absolute first attempt, period, on this song... 

Edited out link.  I'll edit it back in.  Soundcloud appears to have frozen in processing of the song.

Attitude is everything.

Would we have to get Ian Anderson to drop by?  That could keep his travel schedule right busy.

Thumb nail sticks out the wrong direction unless you can put your hand way out in front of the guitar, which I find to be an awkward angle.

Just sing your best.  It's family.  What's the worst that could happen?

One funny story about that band.  We had one of those "Let's play this song" deals, and while most of the songs were pop-ish songs, or kind of slow whiny rock songs, she (lead singer) gave us a chord chart with a I - IV - I - V style song in 4/4 in G.  Well, I used to play classical bass when I had sheet music, but when I moved to electric I had forgotten how to read music and so just figured it out listening to Chicago Blues songs, which are often I - IV - I - V and often in G.  So we get into this song, which is pretty upbeat and I ripped out some passes and bass lines I remembered from those basement sessions listening to Magic Sam and Junior Wells.  The lead guitarist turned and looked at me and said, "What the Hell was THAT!?  Where has that been?"  "I said, it was a blues in G.  I knew what to do with it."  Then he declared, "From now on, we play everything in G!"

Just figure out how to put a neck on your trap set.

We have completely failed to connect on Skype for a virtual campfire, but otherwise we're plugging along as usual.
