Zurf - that was so sadly comical.  smile

TF

that is wild music - what a great funky beat.
It seemed like each musician was truly adding his own unique component and some how it all blended together for a fantastic sound.
I would imagine front row at concert with them was an absolutely phenomenal experience.  Play that funky music .... !!

Thanks or sharing

That is awesome.

The beginning Harp was a little muffled (Maybe that's the way it is supposed to be  ??? ) - but when they got to band playing it took off like a rocket.  The singer is the perfect embodiment of the blues - looks like he just got done with a shift at work - picked up the strat and started hammering blues!!!

Thanks for the find Badeye !!

Thanks for the kind words Bill. I played it through and found exactly what you were referring to and made the change. Thank you MUSICATOR EXTRAORDINAIRE!!

Peatle- I feel honored that you took the time to play it on Piano.  If you record it, send it out - love to hear it.

and to all

I didn't right this to promote religion or anything , but only to write a song about how I feel.
Thanks for giving it a look see. smile

I've had this in my head for a while, a few lines here and there.
Really inspired by an old plaster  plaque I've had that was given to me by my mother. She said it was my father's favorite bible verse.
Phillipians 4:13  " I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me. 
It has always been my mantra, I guess because my Dad was killed in an industrial accident when I was 6 Months old leaving my Mom with 10 kids. She always believed Jesus would get us through somehow.  I have always believed the same thing.

Anyway - here it is.

[song]
{t: Jesus Is My Hero}

[G] Born to a virgin mother, on a [C]late winter's [G]night
[G]The Shepard's  in the field they were [D]blinded by the light
and the [G] crowds they sang Hosanna, all [C]  glory to his [G]name
sal[C]vation through the [G] son of God as[D] all the angels [G]claimG]claim

Chorus
[C]Jesus is my hero,   my [G]courage and my love
When[D]ever I need guidance, I [C]pray to him [G]above
He[C] bears all of our sins like he[G]bore that thorny  crown
yea[D]Jesus is my hero,  he [C]never lets me [G]down

[G]Each day I read the Gospel, seems it [C]never grows too [G]old
[G]It has  the greatest message  that's [D]ever been  told
With [G]parables, great miracles, and [C] truth from the Holy [G]word
Oh [C]Glory to  the [G]savior, let the [D]Prince of peace be  [G]heard

Chorus
[C]Jesus is my hero,   my [G]courage and my love
When[D]ever I need guidance, I [C]pray to him [G]above
He[C] bears all of our sins like he[G]bore that thorny  crown
yea[D]Jesus is my hero,  he [C]never lets me [G]down


[G] When the world gets crazy and [C]troubles never [G]cease
[G]Trust in the Lord to help you  [D] find your inner  peace
I can [G]do all things through Jesus , he [C]always leads the [G] way
Oh the[C]  Son of God, my [G] savior I’m so [D]  thankful  every  [G]day

Chorus
[C]Jesus is my hero,   my [G]courage and my love
When[D]ever I need guidance, I [C]pray to him [G]above
He[C] bears all of our sins like he[G]bore that thorny  crown
yea[D]Jesus is my hero,  he [C]never lets me [G]down
yea[D]Jesus is my hero,  he [C]never lets me [G]down
yea[D]Jesus is my hero,  he [C]never lets me [G]down

Kelley Stoltz, “If You Ever Thought Of Coming Back” (2006)
Tom Waits, “Jesus Gonna Be Here” (1992)
Bruce Springsteen, “Jesus Was An Only Son” (2005)
Jesus is a Soul Man,” Lawrence Reynolds (1969)
Are You Ready?” Pacific Gas and Electric (1970)

Ok on soundcloud Bill gave me a compliment, and I took it as a challenge.
After I had basketball practice today with my team - I grabbed my guitar and wrote this.

Hope it works for you Bill - probably not what you had in mind ! smile
I couldn't make up my mind for a title - Bill - why don't you pick it out !

[song]
{t: Underneath Your Breath}
Or
{t: Me and my ‘ol dog}

[G]All those memories I've had with you at my side
All those [C]memories of you as my sweet, sweet  [G]bride
a [C] faded love story,  as our touches  turned so[G] cold
From the [D]moment   you cheated and [C]turned down that [G] road

[G]I'm sure that our friends will all want to know
they're [C]  sure to ask  why it is that you're  feeling [G]   low
and what's [C]  happened to the passion, who put out love's [G]flame
I'm sure they'll [D]  all want to know which [C]one of us to[G] blame

Chorus

[C]Well, you  mistook  paradise for a few moments  of [G] lust
And now you [C]ask me if I'm leaving, it seems that  I [G]must
and if [C]anybody ever wonders why I've gone  [G]missing
Just [D] tell' em  me and my ol' [C] dog have  gone   [G] fishing 

[G]I considered staying, but that was just foolish pride
It would [C]be so different, as a broken heart is hard to [G]hide
I'd  try to [C] put a smile on, and let nothing be re[G]vealed
But then I [D] look into your eyes and [C]see  guilt  con[G]cealed



[G]Well I hope that  you're happy now , since  I've gone away
There really [C]wasn't any reason that could make me want to [G]stay
If we [C]ever meet again  by chance ,  before I meet my [G]death
I hope to [D] hear  you say you're[C] sorry, underneath your [G]breath

Chorus

[C]Well, you  mistook  paradise for a few moments  of [G] lust
And now you [C]ask me if I'm leaving, it seems that  I [G]must
and if [C]anybody ever wonders why I've gone  [G]missing
Just [D] tell' em,  me and my ol' [C] dog have  gone   [G] fishing 
Just [D] tell' em,  me and my ol' [C] dog have  gone   [G] fishing 
Just [D] tell' em,  me and my ol' [C] dog have  gone   [G] fishing

Zurf
The Song you are referring to is " Old Fat Boat"  I believe... but it was not Eric Bogle that wrote it
it was Gordon Bok
here it is.  Cool song just the same

Jethro Tull is pure genius !  His creativity and perspectives were incredible.
This is one of my favorites of him  - he just had so much fun performing.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-hnVeq9FTg

That's the one thing I would wish for if I could, is the ability to perform ( sing and play ) ... it just looks like so much fun!!! 

Ian was the master of so many instruments and had that unique voice - like the Ray Charles',  Johnny Cash's, Dylan's, Elvis,Rod Stewart's Janis Joplin etc... that the moment you hear three notes of it you know who the singer is because it's so idiosyncratic and awesome

and lastly -   I think our own Phill sounds almost exactly like Ian Anderson when he sings smile

Thanks for perking up my Wednesday TF !!!
