Great story. So sad he died.
This song by him and Australian Paul Kelly is beautiful, and ironically the line
" was blind,but now can see" comes to fruition for Gurrumal ![]()
It is such a beautiful rendition !

Garrison is one of my faves. My kids used to make fun of me because I used to watch Prairie Home Companion.
There is a ton of great music hidden in that hilarious song.
Thanks for sharing. Since its raining here all day- I'll probably look up more PHC videos on youtube.

Pretty funny stuff. Love the dialect, I had to listen really carefully to catch everything... a few words I had to look up

Thanks for the morning smile.

TF Thanks
The song is The Weight by the band one that I have in my songbook ![]()
I just tried it - the verses would fit that that chord progression - but not the chorus, at least I couldn't figure it out that way.
Thanks for the comment , I like this song a lot.

I changed the B chord to a Cadd9 chord - gives it a smoother and even harmonic sound.
It's also a lot easier for me to play ![]()

I don't get it.
What possesses these people to spend their time writing this spam junk ?
No one reads them - they are just freaking annoying.
Does anyone really know why they do it? Do they try to access your computer through them ? I have no clue ?
I looked at Chordie forum today and there was a bunch of them. Thank you to the mods that trash them !

Re: A song for TIG (2 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Song 1 great keyboard playing - I like the bluesy rendition the lyrics are quite meaningful ! very well done Peatle.
Song 2 -(My favorite) I already had left comment on soundcloud... but this is a great little rocking song. I think instead of A pirate at 40, it could be a guitar player at 60 ![]()
I love the little phone interjection at " That's it Man!" ( I can so relate to this one - I can't tell you how many times I have had to havemy daughters or my students show me how to do something on my phone )
Song 3 interesting story. Your voice is perfect for this kind of story telling !!
Peatle- Thanks for sharing - you have a great perspective on life !! Keep 'em coming man
