He was really in a groove. Reminds of the the line from Springsteen's Thunder Road - " I've learned how to make this guitar sing" !
If I could fingerpick 20 % as good as that I think I could be famous.
Thanks for sharing

Re: Weekend blues (9 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
reminds a bit of Kurt Cobain story a bit.
None the less... the guy was absolutely lights out musician.... He and Frampton were a classic pairing
If I remember correctly Frampton left the band around 1970-71
When I was in college in Pennsylvania in 1974 , he played as Peter Frampton - in our auditorium. My roommate talked me into going... had no idea who he was....Wasn't more than 200 of us idiots in there.
A year later he sold out the Cow Palace in San Francisco about 50,000 attended.... - his album " Frampton comes alive" was a mega hit !
He is 69 now and still on tour !
Love to see him again !

Very tragic story of how he died.
Alcohol, drugs and smoking in bed - not a good combination.
I was just talking with a friend yesterday about all of the famous people that have
" made it" big and then find a way to screw it up and have it all taken away in a flash.

Topic: Richmond Park (11 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Well ...... I read Ctech and Angela's "stormy skies" post and then was looking around England on the internet since my daughter is there to be in her friends wedding and I found this beautiful park called Richmond. I've never been there but it sounds awesome. Then add Phill's post this morning about - " Hey what are you doing? " So I wasn't really doing anything - but as I was reading about the deer in Richmond Park I started to play my acoustic guitar a bit and it morphed into a 3/4 time little "waltzy" thing. Before I knew it I imagined a love story happening there. This is what I came up with !
Hope you like it and hope the park is as beautiful as it sounds.
Richmond Park by Jim Kenyon
[A]It was in a place called –Richmond park, where people gather and [E]talk
a girl like the wind, swept me off of my feet
I could barely [A]walk,
With clouds floating by in the deep blue sky,lying under chestnut [D]trees
She took my hand, then she [A]took my heart
She was[E] everything to[A] me
.
Chorus
[D]Oh, Richmond park,Oh[A] Richmond park
Where[E] deer run wild and [A]free
[D]Oh Richmond park, Oh [A]Richmond park
[E]You brought true love to[A] me
.
[A]She was a vision of beauty just like Richmond park, I fell with all my[E] heart
her eyes and her smile reached into my soul, I knew
that we’d never [A] part
The years rolled along, like a ship on the sea, cutting through every [D]wave
Her voice and her laughter are still [A] in my mind
Oh such [E]memories to cherish and [A] save
.
Chorus
[D]Oh, Richmond park,Oh[A] Richmond park
Where[E] deer run wild and [A]free
[D]Oh Richmond park, Oh [A]Richmond park
[E]A love that will always [A]be
.
[A]Twilight now falls on Richmond park, and I walk the paths a[E]lone
silence echoes in my ears, as
angels have taken my love back [A]home
The sky is dark ,it’s starting to storm, the rain helps hide my [D]tears
I’ll never forget how she [A]loved this place
As we [E]shared it through all of these [A]years
[D]Oh, Richmond park,Oh[A] Richmond park
Where[E] deer run wild and [A]free
[D]Oh Richmond park, Oh [A]Richmond park
[E]Bring back my love to [A]me
(Repeat 2nd chorus)
[D]Oh Richmondpark, Oh[A] Richmond park
Where[E] deer run wild and [A]free
[D]Oh Richmondpark, Oh [A]Richmond park
[E]A love that will always [A]be
Slow
[E]A love that will always [A]be
[E]A love that will always [A]be

Topic: Any Road Up (10 replies, posted in Songwriting)
A few of days ago someone ( I think it was Peatle) on this forum responded to something someone wrote - and used the phrase " any road up". It struck me hard - I wrote it down on a scrap of paper on my desk. I kept looking at it over the past couple days and thinking - there's gotta be a song there somewhere. This morning I woke up at 4:45 and had a couple of the chorus lines in my head. Picked up my guitar and started playing around.... this is what I came up with. I'm sure it will need a few tweaks
Any Road Up By Jim Kenyon
Verse 1
[G]Today is not enough ya’ know, and I [C]can’t count on yester[G]day
[G]Promises of what the future holds,[D]helps me to find my way
[G]Tonight, Tomorrow , or a month from now,[C]maybe even next [G]year
[G]I’m looking for a love to steal my heart, and [D]take me away from [G]here
.
Chorus
Oh [C]any road up, [C]any road up, [G]any road out of this lonely town
[C]any road up, [C]any road up, [G]any road that won’t let me down
[C] route 66 or the road less traveled, (yeah)[G] any road up, will do
[D]I’ll take any road up, long as I get there ,[C] any road toward a love that’s [G]true
.
[G]leaves are falling as the trees are turning [C]black against the [G] sky
[G]Dreaming of what love could be ,even [D] though I don’t know why
[G]Silence, strangers and empty spaces, are the [C]things I‘ve grown to [G]know
[G]now I’m searching for a love to save me, and[D] take me any road back [G]home
Chorus
Oh [C]any road up, [C]any road up, [G]any road out of this lonely town
[C]any road up, [C]any road up, [G]any road that won’t let me down
[C] route 66 or the road less traveled, (yeah)[G] any road up, will do
[D]I’ll take any road up, long as I get there ,[C] any road toward a love that’s [G]true
Yeah
[D]I’ll take any road up, long as I get there ,[C] any road toward a love that’s [G]true
yeah
[D]I’ll take any road up, long as I get there ,[C] any road toward a love that’s [G]true

Re: The Pub Band (8 replies, posted in Poems)
OK boys - what the heck is a "punter" ?
Over here across the pond he kicks the ball on 4th down in football !
We used to have this guy in our town that no matter what band was playing, he would position himself right in front of the lead singer and just stand there all night long and stare at them. It was creepy - everyone called him "Froggy" for some unknown reason"
Good stuff on the lyric EB !!
