That is an amazing true to life story.
REMINDS ME OF THE OLD QUOTE;
We are not imprisoned by our circumstances, setbacks,or defeats....
We are freed by the choices we make !
Thanks for sharing Peatle.

Very, Very heart wrenching and soul searching stuff.
I so dislike attending funerals.... they have this finality to them that I abhor.
Your words are so on point - excellent stuff.

Re: THBFLLLPTT !!! (8 replies, posted in Poems)
Too funny and I am sure in a bar somewhere it would be a classic hit --- not very sanitary on the dance floor or elsewhere - but a blast to sing along to.
I can't wait till one of you musicians puts it to music !
Great job

One last comment ---- anybody heard from Strummerboy Bill ? I knew he was experiencing some troubles and moving to a new apt. I haven't seen any recent post by him.
I truly hope all is improving for him and his beloved Dondra.

I actually just watched that last week... you are correct Beamer - it was excellent and Joe Walsh is very very cool
He has overcome a lot in his life --- lots of ups and downs - but he is as you say ---- " COOL !"

Re: effects pedals? (14 replies, posted in Electric)
That looks like a very cool product -wish I played well enough to actually know what it does, how to use it, or why I even would need one.
You guys are way out of my league - I am so envious - it looks like it must be so much fun.

This is the link to the song lyrics and chords on Chordie in the chopro format
I find it easier to play from there and you can change chords if you want to.

Phill
Ironically I had just changed the one line from smell to sweet breath
and I struggled with the other line you caught.
Thanks my friend - do you think the chords are ok
It sounds ok to me when I play it - but then again it is me playing so who the heck knows.
Thanks Phill your advice is always welcomed !!
