Re: Heaven can wait (cover) Steinman (6 replies, posted in My local band and me)
Nice cover Richard.
I wish I could play and sing as well as you do.
I was amazed in reading how many songs Jim Steinman had written that were hits for so many huge groups/singers.
Thanks for sharing

Bonnie Raitt is awesome. She just has that edge that says I can do anything a man can do - she has a unique voice and is a very,very talented performer.
Peatle - the duet with Norah Jones is good, beautiful blend of voices, but for me it's way too slowly dragged out.
Thanks for sharing CG, TF and P

That is awesome, brought back many memories for me
I was at a steve Earle,Lucinda Williams last year at Woodstock - the roads getting in are not any better than 1969!
Still an awesome place to visit!
In 1974 I got to meet Richie Havens - a really cool guy and very nice.
Uncountable renditions of my buddies and I re-enacting Havens at Woodstock.
AS far as the tuning - all that is probably great for you musicians - I really don't have much of a clue. 
Thanks for the info brother!
Peace -

a cover that comes to my mind is the Blind Faith album
when i was a teenager i think the naked girl on the cover was a great selling point.
The girl was 11 years old - In today's world they would be arrested for child porn

Re: THE COFFEE SHOP (6 replies, posted in Poems)
TF
That is fabulous !!
I can picture that happening all over world, especially in rural communities.
It personally struck a chord with me.
About 25 years ago my bother invited me to play poker with his friends. They were all at least 25 years older than I but they were great. I was asked to fill the chair bc one of their dear friends and colleagues had passed away. Today they have all gone except for my brother, but he does not play anymore.
Yet the other day some younger guys asked me to join them in a game...... same conversations, and as you say " same old crowd' - except in this case it was "same younger crowd"
That was beautifully written TF
Thank you for sharing.

Thanks so much for the kindness.
I would love to hear your version of it. IMHO there really is no right version of a song, its how you feel as you sing it - if you like it - it's perfect.

Topic: Foolish Hearts (3 replies, posted in Songwriting)
I was watching a really old movie and the narrator said - "he walked away and she let him go"
I grabbed my notebook and wrote that down and just kept writing - this is what I came up with....
Foolish Hearts By Jim Kenyon
[D]He never said how he [G]felt
He [D]never felt a need to [A]say
It was[D] hard to tell if it was [G]real
but he [A] said we’ll talk another[D] day
[D]And there never was a[G] later
It [D]never happened even [A]once
He [D]walked away, and she [G]let him go
Hopeless[A] faith in a feigned [D]front
.
Chorus
[G]Oh foolish hearts, oh foolish hearts
Oh [D]don’t let your let pride get in the way
Oh [G]foolish hearts, oh foolish hearts
Don’t let your [A]dreams go astray
[G]Oh foolish hearts, foolish hearts
You know [D]diamonds can turn to dust
Oh [G]foolish hearts, foolish hearts
please be[A] careful of whom you [D]trust
.
[D]And that’s exactly how it[G] ended
Reckless [D]pride right from the [A]start
Yeah she [D]thought things might work [G]out
just [A] careless hoping on her [D] part
[D]It was something how she [G]loved him
never [D]can be understood by a [A]man
Ro[D]mance is only for the [G]truest hearts
Every[A]one else does the best they [D]can
.
Chorus
[G]Oh foolish hearts, oh foolish hearts
Oh [D]don’t let your let pride get in the way
Oh [G]foolish hearts, oh foolish hearts
Don’t let your [A]dreams go astray
[G]Oh foolish hearts, foolish hearts
You know [D]diamonds can turn to dust
Oh [G]foolish hearts, foolish hearts
please be[A] careful of whom you [D]trust
out go
Oh [G]foolish hearts, foolish hearts
please be[A] careful of whom you [D]trust
Oh [G]foolish hearts, foolish hearts
Be[A] careful of whom you [D]trust
Slower
Be[A] careful of whom you [D]trust

Re: Tuesday's Flying Fingers (474 replies, posted in Bands and artists)
It looks and sounds pretty good in the video ( the player looks real good!:) )
a lot of the reviews on different sites are not so good on the tonewood amp.
Most said the batteries wear out fast.
It sells from 200 to 290 dollars -
probably pretty cool for beach player or busker (although several of the reviews said it wasn't loud enough for busking)
I'd like to have one if I was a serious musician I think
Thanks for sharing
