She is wonderful !

I really, really, really loved the last one - "Something inside of me"  it was perfect blues in my opinion.
(and I as I type that sentence - I just got a rush that those words would be the a great title for a blues song _ " {I got the}  Perfect Blues" smile  !
What a double edged sword that would be!


Thanks for sharing

That is amazing. He is a one man band- and only using an acoustic!

A true master of music.
I would love to have the tools and machines in that shop as well !

Really good post- lots to watch and listen to.

Thank you

I have played it like that -and I like it- but then with my crtappy recording system you can't hear me singing the lyrics. ( which actually might be a good thing now that I think about it!

Thanks for giving it a listen

I too never had heard that song - you played it very well.  I had the exact same thoughts TF did about the headset Mics!
You are a master of many different styles of music for sure.
Well done, sir!

There are no words  that I can type to heal that kind of hurt.  My deepest sympathy and condolences to you and your friend's family.
May the treasures of your memories together ease some of the pain of your loss.

So sorry, my friend.

TF and Phill

Thank you for your kind words.

I actually like to play this song, it has a good rhythm to it and the chords are easy.

It came about bc I was reading a book called Leaders  and it compared Martin Luther and Martin Luther King,Jr.
The phrase " here I stand"  just resounds with opening one's self to everything that can be thrown at them - even in love.

again, TY for your positive comments.

Thanks Beamer !

I hope to record it and post it sometime in the near future.
It's my first attempt at writing a song with a bridge in it, so I'm kinda trial and error editing it as I go.
Thanks for your kind words and I hope that now that you have found a new " dancer" things will fall in place.
I really didn't have you in mind when I wrote it, but now that i think about it and consider your former posts, it does seem to fit the history.
Best wishes to you.

Song about needing love... a slight bit of reference to Martin Luther ( 1521) in the first chorus line smile

Here I StandJim Kenyon





[Em]There’s no place to hide to ease my pain, like [G] running down the road in a pouring rain


[D]embraced by the shadow of soft moonlight, l’m [Em] looking for someone to make life right


[Em]They tell me that wisdom comes over time, and to [G]just have faith in this heart of mine


[D]But I can’t wait no longer, I need help now, need to[Em] find a love and survive somehow


.


Chorus


[Em]So here I stand, yeah here I stand, like [G]many years ago in a different land


[D]here I stand, yeah here I stand, oh I’m [Em]waiting for you to take me by the hand


[Em]So here I stand, here I stand, just [G]looking for someone that can understand


[D]Oh here I stand, here I stand,I’m [Em]waiting for love in the[D] promised [Em]land


.




[Em]Thinking about the day when the ache is gone, it’s the [G] dream that I’ve been working on


[D]I’ve searched my soul, looking for an answer, I [Em]hear the music but I’ve got no dancer


[Em]Hoping for a lover to keep me warm,and [G]bring me some shelter from this storm


[D]There’s no telling what tomorrow brings, but [Em]I want to be somebody's everything


.






Bridge




[Am]so here I stand..........waiting for a sign



[Em] here I stand.........put your lips on mine


[Am]here I stand ............. needing something new


and [B7] here I stand............. waiting for a love like [Em]you




solo through the chords again into the chorus...




.


Chorus


[Em]So here I stand, yeah here I stand, like [G]many years ago in a different land


[D]here I stand, yeah here I stand, oh I’m [Em]waiting for you to take me by the hand


[Em]So here I stand, here I stand, just [G]looking for someone that can understand


[D]Oh here I stand, here I stand,I’m [Em]waiting for love in the[D] promised [Em]land






outgo, little slower....




[D]Oh here I stand, here I stand,I’m [Em]waiting for a trip to the[D] promised [Em]land


[D]Oh here I stand, here I stand,I’m [Em]waiting for love in the[D] promised [Em]land




Slow ending


[D]here I stand, yeah here I stand, oh I’m [Em]waiting for you to take me [D]by the [Em]hand




[D]no matter how long it takes, I'm gonna [Em] stand til I reach the [D] promised [Em]and.

The problem with selling them is that you get about 20% of the value -
it's similar to automobiles - soon as it leaves the lot - re-sale value plummet's like a stone in water.
Might as well keep it.  I'm at 12 and that where I will stay. I don't need any more and don't really want to sell at a huge loss.
Someone on here once put a quote out that said something like " My biggest fear is that my wife is going to sell off my guitars after I die for what I told her I paid for them ! "   smile

My wife's favorite -  "  you spend big $ on a new guitar b/c you say you can hear the difference, but you can't her me calling you from the kitchen to take the garbage out! "

I think mine ( and probably Beamer's) is  " You can't buy happiness, but you can buy guitars, and that's close enough for me !"  ::)
That's just my humble opinion as a guitar player that doesn't really even play smile

This sounds like it could be a track for a Hollywood movie.
I was picturing an advancing army of knights heading toward a castle.

This sounds awesome!
Way to go
