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 !

Easybeat
Can you post lyrics and chords ?
I liked the tune a lot , but I thought the sound of ( whatever it is) the kinda screechy thing took away from the guitar and your voice.
Other than that I thought it was very good. Keep them coming.
PS what was that sound ?

Re: Drive into the Sun (16 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Just my opinion but that line that ends with
“spun the tires out of that gravel nowhere”.
Maybe I’m not getting it but that doesn’t make sense to me
Needs a tweak.
Maybe something like
Her tires spun, throwing gravel , in a hurry to get anywhere
Or something like that
I don’t know. Just a suggestion
It truly is a great song
Phil - send me a copy when it’s done!

That is hysterical. Great advice however
I gave away one f my guitars ( epi LP studio) to one of friends and figured since I did that I was entitled to at least browse the music stores. I haven’t plunged yet but I feel the time is nearing. I think I’ll have a bracelet made to wear when I go that says “ What would JJJ do?”

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

Re: Are There Any Beethoven Scholars Here? (11 replies, posted in Bands and artists)
Bill
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
