In a "shaggy-dog" kinda way, it was, dear friend. I just HAD to give you a noogie on that one!

Your pal,

Bill

Thanks, Mazzie

This reprresents a total of ONE song I have written and finished in several years, and who do I credit for it?

THE CHORDIANS!!!!!!

That means you and everyone else who can churn 'em out the way I wish I could.

Thanks so much!

Bill

Okay, I finished it myself, y'all! Here's the finished product and I appreciate your faith in me that I can get something done.

Here is:

                                                                                      Broken Cover
                                                                                         Bill Craig
                                                                                           9/16/15

===========================

I try and I try just to stay out of her way

But today she saw me and I didn't know what to say

She's so pretty and oh so cool

But she's 17 and almost out of school

And here I'll be just a   15 year old guy

Afraid to tell her and afraid to even try

CHORUS:
I gotta break --- my cover! Can't let her get away

Break--- my cover! But I don't know what to say

I'm a loner and I'm lonely and I'll always be that way

If I don't break break --- my cover!

Today I saw her and I tried to walk up close

But Jimmy saw her first,  and man that really blows

I saw she caught my eye and then gave me a smile

For a smile like that I'd run a hundred miles.

Then this afternoon I saw her, practicing her cheers

I decided that I'd do it, to hell with all my fears

SILENCE:::::::::::::

(drum roll):spoken: Curiously she watched as I cautiously approached

Am I some kinda stalker, am I some kinda roach?

"No", she decided as she slowly walked my way

'Why did you wait so long?", she asked.

"Please don't walk away?"

Chorus:
I'm glad I broke my cover, I broke it just today

The girl of my dreams will never walk away

I broke -- my cover, and you can do it too

Bre-aak your cover, let your love come shining through.

Finish with repeat chorus........

==============================================

Please correct and thanks for considering this and thanks also, Graham and Mazzie!

Your Always Bud

Bill

Peatle,

You know what made me grin ear to ear?

Before you began to play, you said, "This is a Bill Craig song, ......." just like I'd been writing all of my life!

That just shickeled the ummmmm_________________ out of me, my friend. Thanks once again for saying something that reminded me of these guys.........   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gDhR1R3S0s

When that came out of your mouth along with the music you provided, it just made my whole day! Hell, even my whole life!

I'm so grateful and so is my Dondra. I like to call her "Madondra" (after Madonna). She turns her nose up at me and sniffs like she doesn't like it , but secretly, I know she's pleased.

Bill

We get the occasional robo call from the politicos, but I sign up every time it's offered anyway, so many thanks, Russell!

Bill

Notes left for you on both versions, Mazzy and Graham. I loved both versions, by the way. I could have copied and pasted the comments from SOundCloud, but I want you to go to where you made your music and read them there. Much more fitting, in my eyes?

A note to my other friend, Graham: When you wrote the title of your version of Mazzy's tune. I got the idea for a new song I'd like to try. Know what it's called?

"Broken Cover"

OHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

I just got that. At 6:57 in the morning, Mo'!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Bill

Thanks, BGD for your time and effort! I did the long C just now and can't reach that 8th fret with the pinky. I do better with the ring finger pressing down.

My fingers are short and stubby, and then there is that dadgum arthritis. When I stretch that pinky, I can barely reach it where it's supposed to go, can't press down and my hand starts shaking. Should I stay with the short. easy C?

Thanks!

Bill
