Hey everyone,
I just received the "picks around the world" package in the mail today! Thanks Alan for getting it to me and also thanks for the kind letter and other added treats. Whoever speaks up first will be next in line for this unique chordie treasure!
Thanks!
Jets/Jeff G
Hey Derek - I'll try and make it but I'm not committing to anything at this time. Waiting to see how my knee turns out and my son is getting married about that time as well. I will be there if I can. My wife already told me I'll be on my own this time as she is not fond of tent sleeping. Best I can do for now but as it gets closer I will commit one way or the other.
Know idea why but Turn, Turn, Turn comes to my mind as one of the first I remember.
Hey Mark,
Very nice song. As usual, great vocals and guitar work. I would have liked to hear som harmonica fill out some of the musical interludes but not absolutedly necessary.
Thanks,
Jeff / jets60
Only lyrics could I find...sorry
Thanks Dino. Pass it on to them as well.
Thanks Amy and Dino - Can't take credit for the story, but I did try and form it into a song. Good message that I guess pretty much everyone can relate to. Yep, Amy I playand sing it pretty much how you think. Dino - Let me know how it turns out.
I wrote this a while back trying to turn an old Native American story into this song here. It’s about how there’s good and evil in all of people, and how people can easily end up becoming either.
Thanks for sharing the video clip. The pictures are amazing. I have never been to Texas but I would love to visit this wonderful state. I would love to visit a area with lots of flowers because I just love plants. I think if I would live in an area with no flowers or trees I would use a flowery delivery every day in order to even have flowers at home. Would love to see more such clips because the music is also great.

You want to visit Texas in the spring time then. I enjoy the hill country, but you will find the bluebonnets blooming all over the state. Texas can get a little short of green though. I remember all of those summers of getting cooked and seeing brown grass.
In Japan they kids hold up one hand when they cross. Kind of interesting to watch really.
Well in my experience, west Texas is pretty freaking big as I remember. I have been all around there and seen it from Alpine and Big Bend National Park on up to Amarillo. I lived in San Angelo from 1992-1997 and I remember most all of settings like Mr. Meinzer has in his books, although some are more like the hill country. Mr. Meinzer lives in Benjamin which is about halfway beteen Lubbock and Ft Worth where 114 crosses 6 and I don't think he is trying to fool anybody. If you google Wyman Meinzer you'll find his web site with all his books and he has a bunch with some very pretty pictures, and even som of that brown rock and beat up cactus you mention. Sonnya, if you are saying San Angelo's not west Texas I would have to disagree with you, and I am sure a lot of folks living around the Concho Valley who would as well. Beamer, if you have a problem with Mr. Meinzer's book feel free to take it up with him, but I for one don't. I enjoyed my time living there although I was not fond of drinking the water in the Midland/Odessa area. I still have friends who live there who would come to Virginia and give me a hand if I ever needed it. Sometimes living there can be harsh. I remember all the lightning storms and I made it through a pretty bad tornado back in the spring of 1996 (been a while so that is just a guess).
His Facebook page says Wyman Meinzer is a self-employed photograapher/author and adjunct faculty member at Texas Tech. Just some outstanding pictures though that really captures west Texas the way I remember it when I lived there.
I saw this and it made me homesick for my years living in west Texas. Great pictures of a place I'm quite fond of, and the music's nice too.
Me and the Missus are staying home eating traditional Japanese food, while I do research for a paper I'm writing on value chain management for school.
Sad but true story song for too many young Americans. Sorry he lost his life, but I'm glad he turned his life around. Makes you wonder what he would have done if he had made it back home alive. I believe he would have been a better citizen, but I guess we'll never know for sure. Well written song Jim.
A song inspired by the street crossing music in Japan.
Thanks Robert - corrected.
Hey Sonnya,
Start by finding a song you know well that uses the chords you also know. If you can't a song with the chords you know find a song you know and learn the chords, but stick to simple chords at first. Listen and try it, then listen again and try it again....eventually it will click. The more you try the more familiar it will get...good luck. You should think about investing into some actual lessons, but there is nothing wrong with getting your feet wet first on your own. There are also plenty of tips on how to play properly for new players as well which I recommend you also check out.
Good luck and welcome to chordie!
Thanks Dino - needed the reminder myself.
Hey Jeff thanks again to both of you! =]
Glad we could help out. I'm actually glad you asked. I like the song and now I know what it's about
A little carol about tomorrow.
I will pass on the kind words. I agree, she is very sweet and I am very lucky. Dino, I get a that and more. Christmas dinner will be sukiyaki...one of my favorites. mmmmmmm 
Alright - I have the lyrics in english but I can't post them - I will email them to mightytyger and anyone else who wants them. So let me know if you do. Big thanks to Mrs Jets60 for the help! (she gets a capital 'J')
By the way, the song title translates to "Fly Out to the Moon"
Okay - When I tried it it sounded like this: Chords are G A C G and repeats with capo I for the intro - Verse goes G G7 - G7 C - C G - A C sometimes followed with the intro chords but sometimes the next verse follows without the intro chords. After the intro chords go again there is a bridge which goes C - G - C - D# then back into the intro chords. The intro chords are used as separators throughout the song in different places but you can figure that out. As soon as my wife gets home I will have her translate it. @southpaw41L the lyrics are embedded in the YouTube video in kanji so you can't copy them unless you have a Japanese keyboard or know the short cuts...pretty tough to do. Easier to let my Japanese wife read and translate it for us. I will email them to you mightytyger as soon as she's done. Please feel free to correct my posting but that is what it sounded like to me.
Hey Bushy,
Have a great Christmas yourself. Expect an email from me about this construction project you will be working on. I'm working on my MBA and this sounds like an interesting topic to use in my discussion boards and on my papers.
