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!
Cheers

Nice purchase Russell !

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 !

Re: Almost - Recoded on Soundcloud (6 replies, posted in Songwriting)
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.

Topic: Almost - Recoded on Soundcloud (6 replies, posted in Songwriting)
I did a quick recording with my cheesy computer mic
( Not that even the best mic in the world would help my singing )
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.

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 !

Re: the kids working me over. (6 replies, posted in My local band and me)
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 put in 1959 fender pic ups
The wood is poplar, pine and cedar with oak pic guard ( which took me 5 attempts to make !) 
I learned so much while doing this...... took a lot of work
It plays beautifully - soft 60's sound. I absolutely love it. Now if I could play like Phill all would be great !
