I liked it to Brian - Peatles images brought it to life!
We are headed in the opposite direction in to fall and then winter.

CG
Thanks for the Ray Wiley Hubbard review.  I didn't respond bc I was away on Vacation.  He is really good with a very unique voice and style. It is very recognizable - soon as you hear him on the radio you know who it is.
He performed in a bar near me a couple of years ago - very personable man.

Here a couple more that I like .
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7z3QDkxXrvY   ( Chick singer, bad ass rocking) { duet with Carson Mahone as the chick singer)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZUOzCTUTz8  (drink til I see double) {Duet with Paula Nelson}
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygTsN_sr4k8  (Conversation with the Devil)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxNO3XACxFI  ( I wanna rock and roll ! )

as for the Windy City Strugglers - definitely a different brand of performing.  I loved the washboard in  " the old Gods"

my favorite of the listed songs was " Can't Get Back"


Thanks again CG !!   Way to start the weekend !

These are some of my faves of JTE  - So Sad he is gone.   He was just a kid with immense talent, a big heart, and a wicked beautiful smile.

I encourage all of my chordie friends to give a listen !

Well after telling Easybeat (Brian) that I haven't really written anything lately, I wrote this.  Mojo did a very good cover of it - but as I listened I thought it was missing something - so I added a verse and made a couple changes here and there.  This is my final version ( for now  wink  )
It's really kind of a true depiction of what happens to me all the time.
so here it is.....

Something To Believe In By Jim Kenyon


[G] All my life I’ve been wondering, [C]how things came to [G]be


[G]Seems there’s always been angels, [D]watching over me


When[G]ever I’ve faced trouble, I just [C] looked up to the sky


and most [G]times I've seen feathers, with my [D]troubles flying [G]by




.




[G]Life sure ain't easy,lots of[C] tests to try my [G]faith


[G] on more than one occasion angels [D]were my saving grace


When[G]ever I’ve faced trouble, I just [C] looked up to the sky


'Cause I[G] think I'll see feathers with my [D]troubles passing [G]by




.




Chorus


[G] oh we need [C]something to believe in, some[G]thing that brings us hope


[G] we need [D]something to believe in, some[C]thing to soothe our[G]soul


If I [C]was a true believer, I’d be [G]down upon my knees


and [D]thanking all my angels, for [C]watching over [G] me


[D]thanking all my angels, for [C]watching over [G] me


.




[G] In my youth I was reckless, didn’t [C]have too many [G]cares


[G]Always looking for adventures, to[D] carry me somewhere


But when[G]ever I’d faced trouble, I'd just [C] look up to the sky


and I[G] swear I’d see those feathers, with my [D]troubles flying [G]by





.




[G]now that i am older, I still [C]climb the highest [G]trees


[G] but there's times when this ol' world, can still [D]get the best of me


and when [G]life gets me down, I just [C]look to the sky and pray


I'll see [G] angel feathers coming, to [D]take my cares a[G]way




.




Chorus


[G] oh we need [C]something to believe in, some[G]thing that brings us hope


[G] we need [D]something to believe in, some[C]thing to soothe our [G]soul


If I [C]was a true believer, I’d be [G]down upon my knees


and [D]thanking all my angels, [C] watching over [G] me


[D]thanking all my angels, for [C]watching over [G] me


Out go


.




now I[C]am a true believer, and I'm [G]down upon my knees


and [D]thanking thanking all my angels, for [C]watching over [G] me




slower




yeah now I[C]am a true believer, and I’m [G]down upon my knees


and [D]thanking the good Lord for always [C]looking out for [G] me

good to know Graham
I actually bought a Mandolin about three years ago b/c it was at a lawn sale and I got it ridiculously cheap. It is beautiful - but I don't know how to play it - and I never have tried outside the first day I brought it home. It still sits in the case.   Maybe I will try using the restring.

She sounds great !  Love the Scottish  voice.
I can't believe she is unknown. The one video was done in 2010 - What the heck is taking so long for her to catch on ? ( It's sure not because of her looks smile  ! )
I thought Seeing Stars was the best of the songs.

Thanks for sharing CG>
Have a great Weekend

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 !
