Grey Saturday - perfect description !
It could've been Grey November for me.
Today I have a funeral of a friend to attend  ( 4th one in November for me including my brother's)

the sky is Grey - weather forecast is 15" of Snow  starting tonight through Monday am.

However with that being said.....

I stood outside last night from 4:30 - 7:45 in 28 degree weather waiting for Santa's arrival , parade and visit to Santa's shop
with my Grandkids and family ( which BTW was totally worth it! ) After all of that my grandson who is almost 4 in the car on the way home says, "Mommy and Daddy what did you tell Santa that you wanted for Christmas ? "  It was so heart warming - makes you forget about the negative and realize that there is still so much good in our lives.
I am so grateful for my family and my friends- even the ones I've never met in person here on chordie


Phill

I have noticed the number of posts on here have dropped significantly. I guess everyone is busy,has other more important stuff going on, or for some reason is unable to post anymore. Whatever the case........ I miss the videos by Russell and the great songs by Mojo, the unbelievably cool insights of Strummerboy Bill, all the great songs and posts of our New Zealand Family - the golden voice of Jan, and the greatest stories and historical insights of Peatle ), JJJ's  interesting stories, Beamer's open heart songs and Metalized everything smile,Zurf's wildlife adventures and musical journey's,  Badeye's always good stuff, Roger G's terrific perspectives, UJB and BGD, Easybeat and Dirty Ed, NEO, CTECH, Doug, Jets60  and of course Mekidsmom (Amy).   My apologies if (and I know I must have)  I have left someone out !

Happy Holiday season to everyone and may your GREY SATURDAY's turn sunny ! smile

This is absolutely fantastic !
What a find !
Ruthie has a great voice and the music is superb.
I urge all of you to check out the song Walk On that CG  listed above..... @ about 2:50 - check out her voice ---- I would challenge any of the pop stars of today to match it !  Great song at the Dallas Music festival.   She seems so down to Earth and just in love with playing music - terrific performer.
The song Lord Remember Me is one of the best blues / gospel songs I've ever heard- what passion and emotion in that performance.
Thanks for another incredulous Friday blues morning.
I really appreciate what you do !

I will play a couple of my songs for the seniors in my psychology class, but I don't share them to general population.
Your versions seem to be the most popular and the one Graham did called girlfriends.
They always want to know how I know a guy from Wales smile  !
I am pretty protective of my musical anonymity.
If I was a performer and could sing it I'm sure I would have a different perspective.

Great topic that has many angles.

I thought maybe Strummerboy Bill would write something on this one !!
Since  today is Thanksgiving in America today, I will take the opportunity to thank all my chordie friends for their friendship, kindness, support and generosity over the past few years.  It is a wonderful group of people here. 
Best wishes to you as we enter the holiday season - I hope you and Ann have a safe, healthy, and enjoyable one.

as you all know, I am not a musician, but I do go on stage quite a few times as a high school coach.
I find it very similar - all the accolades from fans and friends after games - and then the reality of getting up to teach the next morning or going out to shovel snow, mowing the grass or picking up the dog poop in the yard !  ( I wonder if McCartney or Jagger ever had to do that ? smile  )
It's still a great ride and I wouldn't trade it  away. I'm just thankful for the opportunity.

I would love to play a gig sometime - only thing I'm lacking is good guitar playing and a singing voice.  Until that happens, I'll just listen to all my friends on chordie !!

This was an old song that I had written.... I  re-wrote it  by changing the lyrics and the chords - Gave it a new title.
Hope you Like it.
Happy Thanksgiving to all of the Americans on here !  smile

A Memory Lost In A Song by Jim Kenyon



Verse 1




[G]There was a time that I called you


There was a time that I called you [C] mine


Not a day passes by when you're [G] nobody special


Woman [D] don't you know, you were [C]always on my [G] mind




.


Verse 2




[G]There was a time when I held you


There was a time I held you all night [C] long


never more than a moment a[G]way from my heart


but now it's [D] only a memory that's [C]lost in a [G] song




.


chorus


[C]I miss you a little too much, and a lot too [G] often


[C] Seems my heart has found a million [G] ways


[C] I wonder how you are, do you miss me at[G] all ?



oh I [D] just can't let [C] go of all our yester[G]days




.


Verse 3




[G]There was a time when I loved


There was a time when I loved how you made me [C] feel


I can close my eyes to what I [G]don't want to see


but it[D] seems that some [C]hurts just never [G] heal




.


chorus




[C]I miss you a little too much, and a lot too [G] often


[C] Seems my heart has founda million [G] ways


[C] I wonder how you are, do you miss me at[G] all ?


oh I [D] just can't let [C] go of all our yester[G]days.


oh I [D] just can't let go [C]of all our yester[G]days


oh I [D] just can't let go [C]of all our yester[G]days

Nice find !  I really got into a few of these songs this morning.
Love the passion he plays and sings with ( especially in "It's still rainin  ") - makes every word believable - so essential to the blues.
Thanks for sharing - got my weekend off to a great start !

  Your playing and singing are excellent as usual. 
I'm sure this situation arises a thousand times a day in people's lives, and choices have to be made.
Great song my friend.

The clip "The traveler" was outstanding.
Loved how the explained the guitar, showed the production side. I would also love to have that garage and all those guitrs - it must be what JJJ's garage looked like at some point ( less the bread machine of course) smile
The song was terrific.

The song " I want a Woman like you"  was also fantastic.   The video is really well done.

His "While we cry" is a beautiful rendition - such passion - came from his heart for sure.
The "Boy with the broken heart" is awesome -  the other singer {Noah) has a fantastic voice and brings passion to the song in his performance- super solo by KWS as well.

I had never heard of him before - but I sure will listen to him a lot more now - this music is right up comfort zone. Thanks for the enlightenment.

Keep the good stuff coming !

Beamer
some really good lines in this one  I sense some bitterness there!
There a couple I don't understand - but that doesn't mean they aren't great - I just didn't get it.
I'm not     sure how to play it though. Is this a "metalizer" song ?

The BM and F#  kill me - I don't even know how to play them

I will look forward to hearing this one.

Sadly,
I lost my brother yesterday- 86 years old. Today my cell phone went off and it came up his number calling, - chilled me for a moment - it was his wife calling me on his phone.
Good song Jeff

Impressive !

It's too bad we have such a cynical view of the world.  The media sensationalizes everything that is wrong and basically ignores good people and good things.
Your lyrics capture that exactly - I love your last two lines - they are spot on!
Your song sounds great !
It reminds of a lute player playing for the court in the Renaissance - updating the king on the news!
