What an awesome tune, badeye! I had never heard it before just now! I used to love The Staples back in the late 60's early 70's, but then I kinda got away from that, and started listening to other stuff. May I offer up one of my own favorites? Every guitar player should know this riff...... wink-wink......

I "Second That Emotion"   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sti_tuBiv5g   Jim. Grab your honey and dance with her to this one.

All the best for our "Grandaughter" on her "Barfday!"

You are right, Enkelkind, your Opa "Opie" loves that guitar very much fer sure, fer sure.

I also wanted to make sure everyone "got" the  clip on YouTube? If not, would you please look at it again? It references "The First Gift Of Christmas" from the movie "The Polar Express", which is my favorite Christmas movie of all time. My little Fender (which carries the name "Amy" in honor of you know who) really was and is my very own "First Gift Of Christmas" from my friends Jim, Amy and Kids.

I STILL get chills when I play that beautiful guitar!!!!

I know, Phill. there is a sound  section on my computer and one can activate the mic, but what does one sing into? In other words,  where on the CPU is it?

Thanks

Bill

EDITED TO ADD: Never mind, my friend. I think I have it sussed (that's the way y'all say that right, "sussed"?   )  What I did was find an old surround sound set of headphones with a mic attached. It fits into the mic USB port on the front of my computer, so I can sing into the mic and it will pick up the guitar as well. Does that sound right? I will then save it as an mp3 or wav file and upload to SOundCloud. Right?

I do that a lot, Beamer, but it also has to be easy. Like D A G. Sometimes when I try to transpose, it leads me to stuff like B flat minor 7th sustained  augmented over easy and sharply diminished.

Dino, buddy. I can play the bass part just fine, but I'm having trouble hitting some notes (such as D) with my voice. I'll check it out, though and maybe play it for her birthday. What a great idea, my friend!

Jan,

PLEASE forgive me? Those were The Brothers Four, my Dear.  I am SO sorry! I'm supposed to KNOW that !!!!! Please excuse me!!!!

Hey it's me. Let me just wuickly update y'all on what's going on here, and thanks for the good wishes, everyone.

1. My blood pressure is out of control and my VA Doc isn't very happy, because up until Monday (tomorrow here), I haven't wanted to leave Dondra alone here at home to come and see her. She could come with me, me but I can't have her sitting up in a waiting room that long, so....

2. Since my blood pressure (at last check) is at 220/125 and the new meds have yet to "kick in", I've been instructed not to exert myself, because a b/p that high is a stroke risk, and we can't have that, since I am Dondra's caregiver.

3. In addition, I've been under some stress lately due to "family problems" that some of you may already know about.....

So..... I'm going to have "ride this out" a few days longer and I hope to be "with" you (my other family) on Christmas Eve

So, I think that catches you up on your pal, Opie and I'll see y'all asap.

Thanks for the love and care.

Bill

I miss my Artcore. *sniff*

You...... "knocked this one up", huh, Phill?

Well, I am happy you knocked it up, dear friend, and may I tell you I absolutely loved it?!

Beautifully written and performed, and I'm still as amazed as the first time I ever heard one of your tunes.

I appreciate your talents and recognize you as one of our mentors. I am surrounded by fellow musicians here and there's no place I'd rather be.

You guys and ladies ( I will not say "gals") never cease to amaze me with your talents and I thank you and love the fact you have been blessed with them.

Bill
