Very talented.  Very emotional link to his performances.   You can so tell how much the music meant to him - that's my kind of performer!

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  sad

It is such a beautiful rendition !

Badeye - That was one of your best finds... must have been the rare sunshine ! smile

Sonny Terry's voice is spectacular - so deep and soothing... the perfect match to the Harp and pitch of Brownie voicing.
Thanks for sharing

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.

TF

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

Beamer- nice job man, guitar sounds fabulous......... this is one ridiculously difficult song to play and sing -well done my friend!

TF Thanks

The song is The Weight by the band one that I have in my songbook  smile
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   smile

Zappa was an excellent musician and performer. I have every one of his albums. 
Some really funny stuff in his stories / songs. ( some sick sh** too ! smile   )
I love Zappa - listened to him a lot in my younger days.

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 !

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  smile
                    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

That was a subtlety hysterical clip
Great sense of humor
Love the quote hidden in there......

"Dirty fingers will get you sh** in your mouth"

Truer words never spoken!

That quote applies far past sheep herding / dog
whistling

Thanks for sharing
Methinks I would love to visit Wales and New Zealand someday

I listened to it as well -  ditto what easybeat said !!

Fantastic!
