+1 battered and bruised

FB has face chat

but then we run into ppl not wanting to deal with that.

google host something

well any way unlike last year im bringing a very large micro sd to record as much as poss. (oh and a much better phone LOLOL)

I think the best "gig" I ever did was at chordiestock last year.it was a very moving experiance as i personally dont like my voice as most times its flat and off key.  I did my primary songalong with teh support of something like 8 other players and something took over and at teh end I had Z and jeff rushing up to me saying how good it was and the whole porch clapping.  I dont even remember it hapening.  but I fewlt high!  so gig wise thats the best.

I can't sing for shyt. I play and sing for fun and my own amusement. Jerome posted a long time ago that singing is 95% attitude. So I try to sing with a attitude that shows my enjoyment. I hope folks enjoy my enthusiasm and can ignore my tone.

well we havenot had a tomato fight yet! LOLOL I felt my attitude makes up for ability ,, and sometimes I surprise myself and the notes come out just right. (as happened last year at chordiestock, dont know if lightening will hit twice.  if it dows I hope its getting taped this time! LOLOL)

thanks jim, deep answer my friend. i never thought of all the people that have come and gone from my life. i worked with a guy only for a year or two that had worked in the factory for  50 years from when he left school. he was made to retire though he didn't want to, and kept saying that if needed he would drop everything and be back to help if needed. the place carried on without him much to his surprize and he died within a year. after that i found a slogan;

                                                                 work to live. don't live to work.

Around here we call that "THE CARRY OUT PLAN"guys been here 50 yrs and still wont retire they will die here and get a carry out plan.. I do have a probalem with that,, isnt 30 yrs in one place enough<< come on and give the younger guys a chance.

ditto hit Russ up. he is the mutant!

how ever I do think there can be a diff sound if not "right"  maybe not bad ,, but Different.  take a picture and post it.

I Posted both these  today pretty QuickMix,, so Now for the background on this particular one.  A few weeks after I wrote Jesus Train, I was on FB chatting with a old friend  who had been a church camp counselor who became a Episcopal Priest/minister (pick your favorite) and I sent him Jesus train to read.  We then talked about How certain types and attitudes have been around lately....

Well this song is a direct result and many of the lines are complete lifts out of it.  Mark Was stating how he has parishioners leaving his Parrish (Traditional Episcopal)  and going to the big mega church with the 10 pc praise band and they feel " So Blessed"  ,,,, Until a family member dies.  Then they run back to him (because he actually knows Liturgy and theology.) and ask for him to read the rights. and that gave me the idea for the question   Do you want the minister in the stole (any faith that requires formal education , then a seminary, then the ranking of deacon and up,,, not the loose use of the term deacon as it is widely used today)  Or do you want a staged show?

the line:  Religion is an easy high, a drug with minimal cost  IS a direct quote.  and growing up the son of an Episcopal minister I get it fully! LOLOL

As you can tell I am currently SICK of all this "lets show everyone that im so ____ godly and (UGH dont even like the word any more) "blessed".     I have faith and beliefs,, I just don't feel the need to say  Im blessed  I got a good parking spot today, oh god is so good"  (actual statement from a person) I got news for them people GOD (if you chose to believe in him or her) dont give a RATS ANUS about your parking place.

OH and as for the music on this song,,, if you can remove the original vox from this ,,,, this is the song that was jamming in the back and I was singing and writing to. (read "way beyond my talents!")   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NipQYqT-OTU
