François-Marie Arouet, known by his nom de plume Voltaire said it

When words don't work - violence is the path that is next chosen

to quote a Jackie DeShannon 1965 song  ( re-done by Dionne Warwick)   " What The World Needs Now, Is Love, Sweet Love"
Good one Brian!

Like CG said - they were great and I too kept clicking on the next video.  What a wonderful take on music to have some fun.

I would classify this Genre as Stoic Presentation.

I absolutely love Prairie Home Companion anyway - it is / was a great show.  If you get the chance - watch the movie of the same title - lots of stars in it - Lily Tomlin, Meril Streep, Tommy Lee Jones, Woody Harrelson, Lindsay Lohan, and John C. Reilly

It's about the death of live stage productions as such

Thanks for sharing !

Reminds of ....Frank Zappa Joe's  Garage

"It wasn't very large
There was just enough room to cram the drums
In the corner over by the Dodge
It was a fifty-four
With a mashed up door
And a   little amp
With a sign on the front said "Fender Champ"

And a second hand guitar
It was a Stratocaster with a whammy bar

We could jam in Joe's Garage
His mama was screamin'
His dad was mad
We was playin' the same old song
In the afternoon 'n' sometimes we would
Play it all night long
It was all we knew, 'n' easy too
So we wouldn't get it wrong
All we did was bend the string like... 


Great Song - Great Music - GREAT PURCHASE RUSSELL !!!!   HAVE FUN - GET A COUPLA QUARTS OF BEER TOO!   smile

Cheers

Jim

Jets - Thanks   that works great !!
I can't change the persons name as it appears in song book list   - although when it opens - it shows mine   but it doesn't matter.

Thanks again for the tip !


Also - thanks to Peatle's observation and encouragement- I made a lyric change in the first verse - much better !

Peatle

Yup I was having trouble with that myself.  Thanks for the encouragement - I went back and re-wrote the first verse and took that out.

now it will go like this

[Em] Almost gone, almost there,  almost fell in love
Well I [A]almost cried, almost cared, you know[Em] almost ain't good enough
yeah, I'm [B7]almost sorry, I’m can almost  see
that i'm[C7] almost where, I [B7] never wanted to [Em] be
[Em] [A] [A11/E] [Em]
[Em] [A] [A11/E] [Em]

I will make a new recording and replace the old on soundcloud as soon as I get a chance.

Phill - absolutely right it was out of tune a bit.  I had tuned it - but then was messing around on a couple of songs using the tremelo-  and I think the result was that two strings got stretched a bit and were slightly out of tune. enjoy your holiday - that looks like a beautiful island !!

Thanks for the listen.

I did a quick recording with my cheesy computer mic
( Not that even the best mic in the world would help my singing  smile  )


Hopefully some one that can actually play and sing can do a cover of this if they think it is worthy.


I like it bc it's fun to play.

FABULOUS  !!!!|

YOU NAILED IT PERFECTLY
(except for the part where he tells you that's enough for today and puts something temporary in - instead of finishing the job).
Then, as you are  sitting in your car  adjusting your seat belt and looking in the rear view mirror to admire his work, you see him dashing across the parking lot to his Lexus with his golf clubs, and pull out in hurry while texting his buddies he is on the way !

Great one Peatle, Oh Lord Loremaster  smile

Beamer,
Not my kind of music, however your son has really got it going there.
Sounds like you were really into it as well. I am so jealous that you can spend time with him doing something you both love.  I am hopeful that when my grandchildren get a bit older I will be able to the same.

Thanks for sharing  - I love special moments - which you certainly experienced.

I really like the mellowness of your voice.  It gives you such a uniqueness when delivering the lyrics.

Nicely done.
