Sad, but very nice song. Is there a reason it's only the music and no singing on soundcloud.  I thought the lyrics were well done

Did you play that stupid game where you spin for the discount ? I have played it everyday since you posted and never got a code for more than 10 % ( Which is ok)
I'm holding out for the 20%  - if I get that I would get this amp for $209   darn good deal I think - except - as I am reading many reviews  - loads of them say it has a huge annoyance in hum feedback because of improper grounding - a bad plug

Did you get that hum with yours ?

Very nicely done Boys ! 
Over the course of my life I've had two dogs as such - best friends and inseparable.  When the last one died it was like losing one of my kids - very hard.

Thanks for reminding me of all the great times I had with the dogs.

The video is great - I liked the pictures as weell as the music !

Avett Brothes are awesome.

They are scheduled to play 15 minutes from house next year if all goes well.
Can't wait.

Phill
I believe you can make any guitar sound great, much the same way Ann always makes you look good !  wink  smile


I remember my first guitar was a Cherry red Sqier Stratocaster.  It played good - I gave it to my neice a few years ago


Congrats on the 50th Phill

Sounds like a good ending to a  troubled life     

OK

I had more time this morning and made some changes as you will see. Re did some lyrics, changed chords, and re wrote title.

To me it plays much better and fits better.

(Phill- If you ever get a chance to give this a go I'd love to hear it. )
(Beamer- did you ever give it a go ?)

Peatle,
Hopefully they had no children to witness or endure.  What a sad atmosphere to have to live in. I guess there came a point of "no more" and the alternative was more appealing than continuing. A very sad story put into an excellent poem. 
It is astonishing to realize what many people have to live with day in and day out, yet try to paint pictures of normalcy for the world to see.   This story could've been the backdrop for the song I just wrote the other day and posted here - Thunderstorms and earthquakes beneath her sky of blue.
In the meantime, some people think their lives are sooooo terrible b/c the their cell phone battery died.
Thanks for sharing. a terrific , but exceeding sad, sad poem.

Fantastic finger picking. 
He plays the guitar so easily, it's like it's a part of him.

I love the lyric  in the song hard times never go away -  "Heartache and sadness, they look to be my friend.
How I'd like to kill them both and start all over again."    the essence of the blues right there !

Thanks for sharing - great way to start the weekend.

Jim     

Beamer, Phill, and Peatle

Thank you.

Now I just have to figure out how to play it so it sounds decent.  smile

I can imagine, but  what I am imagining isn't nearly as good looking or active as Maria !! smile

However, every day we get a little closer to 100 !     

I hope this works out musically - if anyone has suggestions in that regard I would appreciate it.  smile


Thunderstorms (beneath her sky of blue) By Jim Kenyon


Verse 1




[G] oh, her skin was soft and she [C]had the bluest[G] eyes


[G] with a sweet,sweet, smile that com[C]pleted her dis[G]guise


[G]"I'm fine", she’d whisper, to [C]hide the pain she’s [G]known,


as she [D]tried to deal with her [C] demons all a[G]lone.


.




Verse 2


[G]A voice soft as the breeze, when she[C] sang her favorite [G]song


[G]Her heart cloaked away any [C] hint of something [G]wrong


[G]”It’s okay", she’d say, as she [C] lived her masquer[G]ade   


while she [D]drifted through her troubled [C] life, in her cryptic [G]way


.






Chorus


[C] I thought I knew her ways, yea, I thought I knew her [G] well


but she [C] found ways to hide the hell she was going [G] through


behind her [C] hidden walls, I never saw her crumbling [G] shell


Seems there’s [D] thunderstorms be[C]neath her sky of [G]blue


[D] thunderstorms be[C]neath her sky of [G]blue



.






Verse 3


[G]she had everything you'd want, but it [C] wasn’t as it [G]seems


[G]there was an untold burden hidden [C] in all her [G]dreams


[G]“ I’m alright” she’d say, as she [C] tried to hide her [G]fears


while she [D] pretends to smile, as she [C]wipes away her [G]tears


.




Chorus


[C] I thought I knew her ways , yea, I thought I knew her [G] well


but she [C] found ways to hide the hell she was going [G] through


behind her [C] hidden walls, I never saw her crumbling [G] shell


Seems there’s [D] thunderstorms be[C]neath her sky of [G]blue




.




yea, there’s [D]thunderstorms be[C]neath her sky of [G]blue


yea, there’s [D]thunderstorms be[C]neath her sky of [G]blue


[D]thunderstorms be[C]neath her sky of [G]blue
