Beamer - read this again - pretty brilliant... my fave lines are
"Lovers and cheaters
Habitual repeaters
Brand new beginners
That don’t make them sinners"
Get some music to it - I am looking forward to it.
Great stuff !

Ha - Good one Peatle
I hope it wasn't my last post where I wrote - " another sad song" that triggered your thinking
You always have such keen insights !
On a side note - I'm glad its winter there and not here! It was sunny and 84 here today - beautiful day in the great northeast

Just another sad song
Rain of Mercy By Jim Kenyon
Verse1
.
[G]If I close my eyes, I can [C]still [D]hear her[G] voice
and her laughter that [C]always [D] makes me [G]smile
but if I close my eyes I [C]might[D] miss the [G] sunrise
and the hope that she’ll be [D] back in a [C] little [G]while
.
Chorus
Yeah I’m [C] hoping for a [D]rain of [G] mercy
to [C]wash these cruel [D]memories [G]away
I [C]tremble just [D]thinking of to[G]morrow
as I[D] pray for one more [C] yester[G]day.
Yeah I’m[C] hoping for a [D] rain of [G]mercy
to [C]ease the pain I’ve [D]come to [G]know
you'll [C]find me drinking [D] thru my [G]sorrows
with no[D] love and [C] no place to [G]go
.
Verse 2
.
[G] If I close my eyes, I[C] still [D]feel her [G] touch
and her soft kiss that [C] always [D]felt so [G] good
but if I close my eyes I [C] might [D] miss that [G] sunrise
oh , I'd love to have her [D]back if , [C] only I [G]could
.
Chorus
Yeah I’m [C] hoping for a [D]rain of [G] mercy
to [C]wash these cruel [D]memories [G]away
I [C]tremble just [D]thinking of to[G]morrow
as I[D] pray for one more [C] yester[G]day.
Yeah I’m[C] hoping for a [D] rain of [G]mercy
to [C]ease the pain I’ve [D]come to [G]know
you'll [C]find me drinking [D] thru my [G]sorrows
with no[D] love and [C] no place to [G]go
Yeah I’m[C] hoping for a [D] rain of [G]mercy
to [C]ease the pain I’ve [D]come to [G]know
you'll [C]find me drinking [D] thru my [G]sorrows
with no[D] love and [C] no place to [G]go
no[D] love and [C] no place to [G]go
no[D] love and [C] no place to [G]go

AHHHHH CG _ Van The MAN !!!!!!!
One of my longtime favorites. All of these are GREAT songs. Two that need to be added to the to the list - Natalia and Moondance (which in my opinion is one of the greatest performances in romantic music.

Re: Blues Friday New Page (311 replies, posted in Bands and artists)
She has a very close resemblance to Janis Joplin !
Excellent vocals - lots of passion. Her voice in Wild and Free ( which ironically, was my favorite on the list) was so much different than all the others.
A very good way to start off the weekend.
Thanks CG !
Have a great weekend!

Roger,
I have an ipad - I never knew that - what's it called so I can download it ?
also - I googled Almancil, Algarve, Portugal where you live - what a beautiful place to live !
You are fortunate to live in such an apparent paradise.
How did you come to reside there ?
Good luck on your search for the android

Thank you all - I am waiting for the announcement that has been kept secret tht when you reach 68 birthdays start to reverse the aging process. Maybe it's a side-effect of covid 19 !

Re: Peter Green (2 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Wow This is sadnews - but an entire education for me. I always thought John McVey (+ wife) and Mick Fleetwood were the founders of the band and Lindsay Buckingham and Stevie Nicks joined them. I guess I missed the whole first part !!
Peatle - that is phenomenally cool that you had those personal experiences!
I read Peter's bio this am - quite interesting. Lots of peaks and valleys.
Thanks Phill for the info, albeit, sad

Also celebrating the 30th anniversary of my 38th birthday !!!

Made me feel like I was sitting/relaxing on my porch on a late autumn day watching the leaves blow around.
Good luck in the competition.

Beamer
Sounds nice! I thought it sounded like a face paced Western soundtrack where the Good Guys and Bad guys were about to face off over something. It definitely has that " on the edge of suspense feeling" for me. I am looking forward to what you come up with for lyrics - although it actually needs none in MHO. Well done and cool guitar !
Jim
P.S.
The dogs still crack me up !
