Thank you fellas !

It's a doo wop throwback love song from  the fifties I think. smile
It has a nice sound to it when I play through it - too bad that when I add my singing it doesn't go too well  sad   

ps = if anyone wants to see a great show about the development of music in the early sixties - go to NETFLIX and watch  " Echo in the Canyon"  - it is really,really good !

Her rendition of California dreaming was spectacular.

Amazing how  she took one of the best folk/rock  songs of all times and turned it into a jazzy / bluesy phenomenon

also,

watch the dream a little dream of me - and try not to picture her as Elvis Presley's daughter.   smile  Looks, mouth movements, and song performance ( less the hip gyrations smile  )
Good stuff my friend !
Thanks for sharing
Jim

Came up with this this morning thinking about the first night I ever spent with my wife (of 36 years).

Love At First Sight by Jim Kenyon


Verse 1




[G]My heart is burning, can you [Em]feel the flame


[C]every time you touch me and [D]say my name


[G]Each kiss and touch makes me [Em]love you more


I [Am]swear I’ve never felt this [D]way before [D]




[G][Em] [C][D]


.


Verse 2




[G]Love’s one desire is to [Em]join two hearts


[C]It doesn’t matter how that [D ]fire starts


[G]give your love freely and [Em] have no fears


And [Am]let happiness roll [D] through the years [D]




.



Chorus


[C]Do you believe in love at first sight ?


[G]Can there be magic in just one night ?


[C]Is it destiny, the fate of souls ?


[Am]You never know what [D]love controls




[C]Do you believe in love at first sight ?


[G]Is there magic in the air tonight ?


[C]Is this how it’s supposed to feel


[Am]Is this love and [C]baby is it [G]real ?



[Am]Is this love and [C]baby is it [G]real ?


.


Verse 3




[G]How am I to know what [Em]tonight’s begun


[C]When one heart is both and [D]bothare one


[G] I want to hold you close, and [Em]make you mine


I’ll [Am] love you tonight, and [D]for all time [D]







.


Chorus


[C]Do you believe in love at first sight ?


[G]Can there be magic in just one night ?


[C]Is it destiny, the fate of souls ?


[Am]You never know what [D]love controls

[G]Is there magic in the air tonight ?


[C]Is this how it’s supposed to feel


[Am]Is this love and [C]baby is it [G]real ?




[Am]Is this love and [C]baby is it [G]real ?


slower


[Am]oh I think this is love and [C] baby I'm sure it's [G]real

Since owning guitars are somewhat of a passion here, I came across this - he is a favorite of mine.

Maybe some of you also have found players with great collections you would also want to shre ( or even your own.

Nora is a terrific musician
She can cover just about any song, any genre - make it a jazzy sounding hit.
Warm music on an extremely cold morning here in upstate New York !

Easybeat got me thinking about how Christmas might not be such a great holiday for some people and that a little kindness, understanding and help might very important to them rather than a present under the tree.

anyway here is the song I wrote  - probably needs a lot of fine tuning.

Christmas Love By Jim Kenyon


[Em] oh, not every [G] one knows about [C] how I [G] feel


or [Em]maybe no one [G]cares [C] what is[G] real

[Em]Oh Christmas isn’t [G] always [C]what it [G]seems


For[Em] me it’s always [G]been a bunch of[C] broken [G]dreams

When I [Em]spend my time [G]chasing the [C]blues [G]away

Yes Peatle-   it happens to me all the time!

I will see something or hear some one say something that reverberates and it is like a
voice inside that sticks there until I write something about it.
For example the song I wrote Three Words, Eight Letters -  I  was in a little cafe having breakfast while waiting for my car to be repaired. This woman came in that I did not know, but I could tell she was distressed. She was a stunning middle aged gal, and as I sat there- the words to the song just kept coming to my head. I have no idea what really was the matter with her, but I just imagined a love story and fictionalized it in my head that I wanted to fall in love with her.

I use my phone a lot... instead of writing ideas on paper - I usually just text myself the idea.

Good topic my friend for those of us who like to write - I am interested to hear from everyone on this.

Thank you all.  To me it sounds really good.
Beamer - I wish you were here to thrash on it to really see what it can do.
It has Seymour Duncan SH1's - a.k.a.  Vintage Blues humbuckers.   They growl very nicely, but also play so smooth on the lower volume end

Thank you Graham and Neo!
Phill - yes they have a growl to them - it's going to take me a while to get used to them

Yes Peatle - pretty much why I build them - thinking maybe my kids and grandkids will appreciate them and remember me  smile
Thanks again guys for the positive feedback!

I like the part where he brought the kids on stage.
Not my top choice of music to listen to - but he is a really good performer.
