It's perfect Phill
Just the other day I was thinking about how frigging complicated life is now.
This is exactly how I felt - wishing I could somehow go back in time.
Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
Hope you put it out their for us to hear and cherish - and as Peatle says - have a beer and sing along!

One of the best you have written.
That is fantastic !
That line " The spirit of childhood robbed by a moment called now" is absolutely brilliant.

Great words man.... lots of really cool stuff in this one.
Is there a reason why the second stanza has 5 lines and the other only four - I was thinking if this was a song maybe it was the chorus ???
Raw emotion captured !
well done

too bad it keeps the world on the brink constantly.
and I listened to this - turned on news and saw Iran testing missles and the US and Russia heading for another arms race. There is no end in sight

Sounds awesome
My spot for all you describe is Topsail Island, NC
It is my Heaven on Earth - and all that you say in this wonderful song is there - I never want to return to real world after being there.
Hope you have a great Vacation in Japan.

That was a brilliant performance.
I have never seen an 8 string guitar - that was pretty unusual.
Perfectly played - such a hauntingly placid song.

LOL - we got 18" of snow today so I was housebound a lot. ( Must be I got the idea from Jeff, a la " Waiting for the snow to com" )
Picked up my Martin 6 string and came up with this little country song.
Hope you like it.
Meant To Be By Jim Kenyon
[G]I remember it only took a second,for me to notice you
And it [C]only took a couple more minutes,before I [G]knew
It only[C] took an hour to know, I'd never want to let you [G] go

.
[G]I remember I took you by the hand and lead the way
You let me [C]draw you near and hold you ever so [G]tight
as we [C]danced, I softly whispered sweet words in your[G] ear
and I will [D]never forget our [C]first loving kiss that[G] night
.
Chorus
now it’s [C]gonna take me a lifetime to love you [G]right
to[C]morrow is a chance for today's dream to come [G]true
and I [C]know that yesterday is but today's memo[G]ry
oh, I’m [D] so in love with you [C] baby, it’s just meant to[G] be
I’m [D] so in love with you [C] baby, it’s just meant to[G] be
.
[G]It all happened so fast, it sure seemed just like a dream
And now [C]every time we’re together, I feel so com[G]plete
I love [C] everywhere we’ve been , and I love where we [G] are
and I can’t [D]wait for tomorrow to[C] see where our love will [G] be

Peatle
I just went to their (Chicago) concert last summer in Saratoga NY
They were very good. However it was disappointing in how the show was done.
I went expecting them to play all their hits etc...... instead they just played their latest album and a couple of past hits in the encore.
The other band was REO SPEEDWGON - they rocked the house - absolutely amazing.
