really good man !

Townes is one of my faves, you did it justice and a lot more !

The Texas sound is surely only for Texans - and you got it.

Thanks for sharing

Jim

Thank you Tyson

I'm really not a songwriter - just a guy that likes to wear emotions on the sleeve.   That's the great part that I cherish so much about Chordie - so many people that have a multitude of perspectives - it allows for honest and real feedback.

I am so honored when someone likes one of my attempts at a song.   I am surely just a novice, and I have learned first hand about the dire warning you give in your last line:
"There is one down side to writing good songs : the next one always has to be better."  It doesn't always happen that way for sure.

Thanks for your comments.

ps  HOW 'bout them PACKERS !!!

Could this be the origin of the term - " Drum Roll please ?" 

Methinks the hospitals should be donating a percentage to   the chordie website since it seems  we all have become such good patrons.

Bill the story was fab - lots of smiles in that one.

Sorry about the fall - hope for a speedy recovery

AT least it happened before this damned Irma hits your area an inundates you with H2O

and I agree with Phill - I need to speak with the emergency services at my ER - I didn't get any lollipop !
( I'm figuring the treated you special b/c you had Dondra with you !)

TIGLJK

When I was in college, I always jokingly  answered the phone in my dorm room by saying " The Incredibly Good Looking Jim Kenyon, how can I help ya ?"  A couple of my friends that were girls made me a shirt for Christmas with  TIGL-JK on it as a gift.   When I post stuff on the net, including Chordie, I use the acronym mainly because I do not want my students to find it - so hence I often use the alias.

WOW !!!!!!!!

Well thank you for removing about an hour and a half from my Monday morning !

I could not stop watching these amazing performances.
You are absolutely correct - pick any one and it is fantastic!

The song they did by Toto - Africa -   by far my favorite however. The simulated thunderstorm was incredible.   I kept saying to my self as I listened with headphones - there has got to be some musical instruments or digital enhancement - but alas - there is none !!!!

I really love great musical talent - the orchestration of all those singers must've been ridiculous.

Thank you so much for sharing that - I am sure I will re-visit when I need a little inspiration or just need to go to a happy place for a while!

So my strategy is - my wife won't notice if I just replace one of the older ones on the guitar stands with a new one and put the older one in a case out of sight for a while.  Then it's a month or so later and when asked - " hey did you buy a another new guitar?"  I just reply - "nah - i've had that one a while"   

I recall reading a couple of lines off some guitar T-shirts that go.....

" Go On - Buy it - you can always get another wife!"

or

Dear God
Now I lay me down to sleep , I pray the Lord my soul to keep
If I should die before I wake, please  don't let my wife sell the guitars for what I told her I paid for them!

But seriously - my wife is very understanding and as long its bought with money that I stashed from odd jobs I've done or coaching pay - she really doesn't care - besides that - the value of her shoes collection is more than my guitars I fancy. 

My biggest wish is that my guitar playing ability was equal to the quality of my guitars and heaven knows if it was - I too would be a true guitaraholic as well.
If guitar stores made a rule that you have demonstrate excellent ability before they could sell it to you I would be SOL !

Cheers and good health to everyone

Jim
