Can't help but think there is a song in there with how you posted that title ...... I was just sitting here thinking about the opening line,,,,,
well it's raining here in Texas, don't know when it will end
well it's flooding here in Texas, gonna need some help my friends
I hope there is no further loss of life. With all the other dumbass stuff going on in our country, maybe we can instead focus on helping the good folks of Texas recover.
Best wishes and prayers to all of the Texans that are suffering.

That was an incredible musical performance.
What a group of talent. They were so into that second song - it was like the music was just pouring out of their souls.
Thanks for sharing!
Badeye - I don't how you find all these great performances - it certainly is enriching!

Re: It Don't Matter (8 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Thanks TF - nah - not me.
I listened to that song - Damn Right I got the Blues that Badeye posted and I got messing around with Blues chords and this popped in my head. ![]()
Here is a soundcloud version I recorded today - https://soundcloud.com/tigljk/it-dont-matter
it needs someone that actually can sing and play to do it justice I think.
Thanks for the kind words though.

That was wonderful.... it is shameful that with all the famous athletes the USA has, there are almost none that have the fabric that Sir Colin Meads was made of.
If the interviewer asked American Athletes the same question about who they wold want to be with it would probably be answered with - " Me, Myself, and I" !
I think I need to visit New Zealand someday - beautiful place - and I could spend a day just listening to that young lady speak - great accent and she was so full of honest energy and charisma !
Thanks for sharing - I enjoyed that.

Topic: It Don't Matter (8 replies, posted in Songwriting)
OK - I am delving into a new frontier for myself - the blues on electric guitar !
I used my telecaster to write it.
I wrote this song this morning... kind of a sarcastic song about being brokenhearted.
Let me know what you think - if it's any good Phill can break in his new Tanglewood on it ! ![]()

That might be your best post ever
That was magical - I found myself not wanting that performance to end.
The hand slide just before the 2:20 mark was so cool.
He sure was in a comfort zone playing- feeling the blues!
Thanks so much for sharing

Re: friday's blues fix (1,560 replies, posted in Bands and artists)
Badeye - you got me going into the blues this morning and I came across the biography of Robert Leroy Johnson - Holy crap - I had never heard of him.......
after reading the story which was incredible - a lot of stuff suddenly made sense... especially the connection to the influence on Eric Clapton. Clapton's album " Crossroads" - aligned with the incredible crossroads story of Johnson's alleged deal with the devil @ the crossroads in a cemetery. - not to mention the death of his first child during the childbirth process - people said it was his payment to the devil in exchange for his musical ability that suddenly came over him.
It is a fascinating story - heck - they don't even know how Johnson died or where he is buried - so many wild stories.
I truly was educated by these reading- one thing linked to another - and suddenly almost two hours had gone by !
Not to mention coming across the 1968 Crossroads album that has John Mayall, Cream ( which Clapton played for), Bluesbreakers, Blind Faith, Delaney and Bonnie, Derek and the Dominos, Duane Allman, and Clapton himself - what a 4 cd set !!! Great, great music!
Thanks for the inspiration this am Badeye !
