I am so excited!   I am in Clovis NM. And this morning I'm going to the Petty studio where Buddy Holly began his career.
It's a little hole in the wall but I am so intrigued to be able to sand where some the early greats recorded not only their music, but history itself
You have to make an appointment with this sweet little ol guy that maintains it' there is no admission- he just says "there's a jar there if you want to donate so the fellers and gals after you can also enjoy it"

Here is short YouTube description of the place - going there in a couple hours!

It appears there are two stories here? Both well written and they draw the reader in.

I quite agree!!!

The xception being I'm seeing three scenes, not two

The end of each scene is left unknown, except that they are starting anew - that is fabulous.    Am sure that everyone of us has a different ending for each

This is one of those songs (as a fellow songwriter ) that you say " damn, I wish I had written that !"

I can't wait to hear it in finished form

That Verges on being one of the funniest stories I ever read
A fiction writer would have trouble making up a scene like that
Glad it worked out. Thanks for the early morning smile

I am not sure, but I don't think they ever concluded there was a 10th symphony.  Some guy named Cooper had pieces and put it together and filled in some.
From what I remember the quote was, " it's more of a piece that is Cooper's first rather than Beethoven's 10th" ,

It would be really cool if there was a tenth-  I love listening to Beethoven - it has such majestic components to the sound.

Good luck in your search

Not to "squash" the conversation, but I'm sure we all have "bean" waiting for the response from the head pickler here on Chordie.
My intent is not to "pepper" you with "sage" advice, just to "leek" out a few good lines.
"Zucchani(t)" just about anything if it is brined in vinegar (apparently  even eels- arrgh:(  )

I don't want to "beet" this thread so I will conclude by saying -

"Lettuce" all be thankful for pickles."
"Peas" be with you all !
So with that said - it's time to "end(ive)" this piece and  get the "Mojo" on !! smile
It certainly would be thre right thing to do - give him a "turn(ip) !

Jim  smile

p.s.  I hope my comments won't be the cause of any "rhubarbs" among us!

THAT'S WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT GIRL!!!!

What a gift you have in that voice of yours. To me it has a blend of Jon Baez, Joni Mitchell and a tad bit Janis J in it. The guitar sounds fabulous and it is a fine looking instrument as well ! I absolutely love the way you put your own stamp on this song - ahhhhhhhhh the passion and commitment to the song! Just plain excellence !!  The sound your new guitar makes matches your voice perfectly - I definitely think Jim hooked you up very well. (It's like he knows you or something smile  )
Don't get too busy to perform - you have a special gift - share it.   It's really too bad you and Jan couldn't duet -  two great voices - two different accents - one song - I believe it would be awesome.

Keep'em coming - thanks for sharing

Jim

This is my lame attempt at song recording.
I wasn't going to record it, but then I realized that i couldn't not put it out there or I would be just as those that I criticize in the song.

Just to clarify - the swords in the song are not the guns, the swords  all the excuses and stupid political roadblocks we use to keep from resolving the problem.

Thanks for the listen.
(and I'm still hoping that someone that can actually play and sing will cover this . )  smile

This is the link to this song in chopro format.
I made a couple small changes to lyrics and chords.

I may put up a version on the cloud today...

Deadeye
That is an awesome song!!!

Love the lyrics and the rhythym

Sounds like a mix of Dylan and Ray Wylie Hubbard - both of whom I hold in highest regard!
If I were to sugest a change - I would switch the lines around in the chorus

The open road  sends an invitation
I'm riding like hell with no destination
I got nothing left to kiss but the bottle
Girl I got  nothing left to hold but the throttle.

with that said - don't change it unless YOU want too - it's pretty damn perfect as it is!
WELL  DONE !!

The reality for me is that if I get anything right it's a " TOTAL " a miracle.   Someone who's a genuine guitar teacher would probably have an anxiety attack watching me play and "want to turn off if the mic if I was singing along" .


OH YEAH - WHAT HE SAID !!!!

Zurf you nailed it buddy !  I just modified your quote a bit to fit me a little better smile

That diagram reminded me of a video game - like a Pac Man or something of the sort.

I can't even figure out out my Trio Band creator - never mind all these gadgets. smile

Someday I hope to dedicate more time to learning these things.

I do like to read about what you guys post however, it is interesting even if I don't get all of it.

Thanks all for your comments. 
It's a difficult topic and I'm not against people having guns - in fact I have a couple that I use for hunting.
I am against people having more firepower than police. I have a problem also withthe fact that politicians don't act because they are afraid of losing the backing of the NRA in upcoming elections.
To be a coach in my state there are about 10 regulations you have to comply with prior to ever being able to coach a soccer or basketball game at a public school.  Is it difficult - yup !  But is it worth it yep !  Kids are safer !!

Citizens should be willing to go through the same type of procedures to have guns.

Jan I like the Japan video - might be a little non-applicable to us, but many of their tenets could be used.

Thanks again everyone...... If I could sing I'd record it and you tube it -  but alas ...... sad

Thanks again everyone!!
