While we're on the "Jazz Thang", who remembers this little Bossa Nova -flavored tune? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2wiLGLSPteA
Ever wondered what she looks like, that "Girl From....." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ct0kxfEsIqU
Beautiful lady!
(but don't tell SHMBO, I wrote that! Just kidding. She knows who loves her. )
Bill
.... that GUY!..... Who keeps us all straight and one of my dearest friends (like one of about 600!), but he just had a birthday, and it seems I missed it. 
A card is on the way and our apologies for missing the post about it, if there was one. But anyway, "MYSTERY GUY", come on out here and chastise me/us!
Happy Belated Birthday to our friend _________________.

PS: Apparently I have forgotten how to copy and paste, so could y'all do it for me, please? I promise it's worth it.
This done with Skype and a mic, right, Scott? Never done that before.
Bill
Thank you, Classical Guitar for the help! Just was I was looking for!
Bill
I'll be watching, good luck, my friend!
The above message was written in 25 minutes. Is something wrong with the system or me?
I see what you did there. Either that or someone has a very steady hand and a hell of a career in decorative career. The happiest birthday of either.

Hello, Everyone
I hope this will reach the right the right people.
I have Microsoft named with Windows 13 Program, and what I need to know and (don)'t): is there a
template already set up for a song writer. I already know the set up for letters, but this would sure make it
easier for me.
Thanks!

Having already read about you and your talented daughter, I'm not really surprised at this turn of events, Scott. Also, as a musician, you have that "Charisma Thang" goin' for ya, so again, "Mr. Beamer". there isn't one of you I would not be honored to play (however poorly) with - either on the skins or the axe.. Please keep us posted on how this "Serendipity/Synchronicity" unfolds itself. (I can never remember the correct terminology is used for what situation, my friend, but I think you know what I am trying to say, right?)
My best to you and the family and your new partner/friend!
Bill
........ the prize committee can't find him to give him his check . If I were to win. you can bet I'd crawl to wherever they dole out the money on my knees and buck naked! 
I'm pretty sure he would donate a chunk of that money, if not all, to the Donald Trump campaign.
(The above was only a joke, please do not adjust your computer )
Being that many of us have had a rough time of late, I thought we could all use a wee chuckle.
Love you ladies and gents!
Bill
Best wishes for a speedy recovery from both of us! I am glad you finally got us a status message, Roger, thank you!
Dondra and I would like to add our congratulations to our friend Russell. It's great interacting with you and watching/listening to you and your band! Enjoy your day and many more, my friend.
Bill and Dondra
Reason for the edit: Unlike our Phill, Bill has TWO l's, not one as mistakenly written before!
HALL OF THE MOUNTAIN KING
Great choice, Scott and while we're in the classical genre, how about Johann Sebastian Bach's "Toccata and Fugue in D Minor" which has been prominent in a bunch of horror movies....

The organist was the great E. Power Biggs (Isn't that the coolest name ever?) and he's playing in Freiburg, Germany on FOUR pipe organs simultaneously!!!!!
Bill
PS: "E. POWER BIGGS": Man, I just LOVE saying that name. With a name like that, what other instrument could he have played????/
Oh no!!!!!! I unintentionally misled you, Phill and I AM sorry. What I meant to say was I traded off with the rhythm guitarist when the band I was in at the time played the cover of the Ben E. King song "Stand By Me", not that I was on King's single.
I mentioned the tape that my band and I had made that had me playing rhythm guitar and the rhythm guy played that little "scratch-sounding' thing in between the notes and words (we used two wooden blocks covered in sand paper for that: 'When the night - scratch.... has come....- scratch"..... Unfortunately, that tape of me with my band got lost during the move and all that's left of us playing is that 3-part thing on YouTube.
I apologize again for the way I wrote that whole post, my friend. This is what I meant in another post of mine I titled "A Minor Change......". If I had proof-read that whole thing, I would have noticed right away.
But no, my friend, I wish I had played on that great song, but that was Gary Chester on drums.
Thanks for understanding and please know that I would never intentionally mislead you or any of my other friends here.

I started working on Haunted House, but it hasn't gone so well despite educational assistance from BaldGuitarGuy.
Here it is covered by John Fogerty.
Keep working on it, Zurf. my friend, because as much as I like John and Creedence and The Rangers, this one don't get it. Looking forward to yours, buddy and while you're workin' here's the great original.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=biTYnddPvUs
It may not be a classic Halloween song, but Steve Hackett's "Love Song to a Vampire" comes to mind:
I can hear Andres Segovia in much of what is being played! Thank you!
Okay..... an encore...... My band used to play this one (look for us on) https://www.youtube.com/user/TheWatchmen1965
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dC0DseCyYE
Our lead singer left out a couple of vowels on our playlist and it read: "Whole Lotta Skin"
Bill
One more for dino........ I call this one "The Brain Surgeon's Song"............ "You shake my nerves and you rattle my brain........"
Enjoy, my friend!
Hurricane Matthew is taking its toll and I know all of our hearts, thoughts and prayers are with our everyone who lives there. +
Bill and Dondra
Yup, Gray One and dino....... too rich for our blood, right?
Bill
EDITED TO ADD: dino I have that same issue! Great minds think alike!!!!
........ in me, and I'll explain: Due to the dementia, I am now "catching" myself leaving out words and/or phrases in my postings. Sometimes I'll see those mistakes if I proof-read, but I don't do that too often. It's not a BIG thing, but it may require you, my friends, to "fill" those words in yourselves.
In short, what happens is this: I will think a particular word or phrase, but it may not make it from brain to keyboard.
If that happens, I beg your forbearance, my friends.
Thanks
Bill
Of course! Sorry to be so late with this, but we certainly do join all our family with the Happy Thanksgiving wishes!
Do y'all eat turkey up there? Just wondering.....
Bill and Dondra ("She Who Must Be Obeyed")
You're the best, dino. and it's always my pleasure if I can make you smile!....

Have a good day, my friend!
