I loved the poem - quite an accurate glimpse of life today.
I can tell you, as a teacher - "online teaching"  isn't teaching - it is just delivering information.
I need to be with the kids - the social interaction is an immense part of the learning process.

as Phill had ina song we did together - " take me back to the good ol' days"  !



Nicely done Peatle !

A talented musician- loved the harp

It was a bit too much howling and yelling for me - I prefer my blues a bit mellower.

I wish I could play and sing like him - he is a showman for sure.  Kinda reminds me of Van Morrison,
Thanks for sharing

Just WOW !!! HOLY GUITAR PLAYING !!!

What an amazing young gentleman.
5 colors in her hair with McFly at the Palladium was by far my favorite - but he is a prodigy for sure.

It makes me me want to just put my guitars in the closet - he was that good.

Thanks for sharing.
A fantastic way to end the week.
Hope you are healthy and well and I hope our cuntry starts to ease back to a sense of normalcy.

Did anyone see that new work by Bob Dylan on Kennedy Assassination ?

It's long but - Dang  - it's really good.
this is a linkto it

Beamer - I was thinking the exact thing as Keepitreal - very dreamlike.  Reminds of something Moody Blues might have come up with.

I'd be glad to mess a round and attempt some lyrics if you would like- if not - I will wait for your finished product and go off to dreamland. smile

Nice job

Some how I missed this friday.

He is really great.  Absolutely owns the guitar and makes it sing.
Out of your list - Memphis was the one I liked best.

Thanks for the pleasure !

So this morning I was playing the Bob Willis song Stay All Night,Stay A Little Longer - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lB3ITE55Sw       and I started putting my own words in.
This what I came up with. (I would love it if Mojo used his Texas drawl to cover it - I think it would come out great ! (hint,hint, nudge,nudge  smile  ) or for that matter - anyone else !!!  - I suck at playing or singing as you all know so any help would be appreciated .

that explains the appearance of some that have not been around lately. 

I really hate these spammers.
They pulled one over on me - I guess I should look closer at dates.
Thanks Phill
