You are an excellent entertainer. I absolutely love it when you put comments and a little humor in it.
I thought you and the guitar sounded great !
Way to nail it !

OMG what the heck did you eat that night ?
you are so fortunate - wish that would happen to me
I can hear fine, except the tinnitus covers/muffles the low sounds so watching tv is like ---- well the volume is up ! Just ask my wife.

Yup
front row at concerts and headphones through the 1970's in college at full blast, power tools as an adult
too late for me - now i am protective, but my hearing stinks - tinnitus club for me as well !
Zurf - that was so sadly comical.

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

Re: friday's blues fix (1,560 replies, posted in Bands and artists)
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 !!

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.

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.

Topic: Jesus Is My Hero (18 replies, posted in Songwriting)
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
