OMG PHILL

I've always said you and I were on the same page ! Now I know its true sad
Tuesday I went to go for a BIKE RIDE - As I went to get on and  LAUNCH MYSELF OVER THE Bar using the peddle -(as I had done 10,000 times since I was 7 years old ) the chain gave way and I went ass over teakettle much the same as you did. When I came down the crossbarwas waiting for me.   I fractured two ribs along with a small gash on my ankle.   I can still do some stuff- but there is no position that doesn't hurt and sleep is almost impossible. Then today, I did just as Phill suggested -I got stupid -  thought I was 25 instead of 65 --- forgot I have the rib injury and while coaching my soccer team tried to perform a move -    might better have stuck a knife in my chest - it would have been less painful!

Damn Pride seems to always get in my way.  Yours sounds a lot worse than mine however.....     I wish you a speedy recovery Phill.

And may Ann fulfill your every wish - body massages and tenderness AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE !

Heal quick my friend !

Slick playing !
I actually listened to # 22, 23 as well. 

I was reading below in comments - did he play with YES ?

Looked like he was so enjoying the playing as well.

Thanks for sharing

That was the exact problem I had on the guitar that i tried to  from scratch.

The low E string was fine down at the pickup end of the neck, but close to the edge of the neck up by the nut.
On the high E string it was just the opposite. What I had to do was adjust the angle of the saddle  and Bridge. 
That made the spacing correct. However I still can't great sound out of it - too much vibration in strings. I think it has to do with poor placement of fret bars.
It was my first (and only ) attempt at guitar building.....   and I did it without any knowledge of guitars at the time.   I may try to build a new one this inter now that i actually understand how an electric guitar works.  good luck with your project.

Have you been performing at all ?  Haven't seen any new videos of late.

Take care

Jim

haha   I just looked it up ---  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVjdMLAMbM0      great song. SRV is awesome.

It sure was a close, but unintended match of lyric !

You are right  about people giving aid - although the Texas Rangers Baseball organization didn't shine too well they way they treated the astros regarding moving games.

Hope your job "deployment"  goes well for you.

Even though you are away - keep in touch on chordie - I love your songs, lyrics and comments !!

Can't help but think there is a song in there with how you posted that title ......  I was just sitting here thinking about the opening line,,,,,

well it's raining here in Texas, don't know when  it will  end
well it's flooding here in Texas, gonna need some help  my friends

I hope there is no further loss of life.   With all the other dumbass stuff going on in our country, maybe we can instead focus on helping the good folks of Texas recover.

Best wishes and prayers  to all of the Texans that are suffering.

That was an incredible musical performance.

What a group of talent.  They were so into that second song - it was like the music was just pouring out of their souls.

Thanks for sharing!
Badeye - I don't how you find all these great performances - it certainly is enriching!

Thanks for sharing Phill and TF.

Thanks TF - nah   -  not me.

I listened to that song - Damn Right I got the Blues that Badeye posted and I got messing around with Blues chords and this popped in my head.  smile

Here is a soundcloud version I recorded today - https://soundcloud.com/tigljk/it-dont-matter

it needs someone that actually can sing and play to do it justice I think.  smile

Thanks for the kind words though.

That was wonderful.... it is shameful that with all the famous athletes the USA has, there are almost none that have the fabric that Sir Colin Meads was made of. 
If the interviewer asked American Athletes the same question about who they wold want to be with it would probably be answered with - " Me, Myself, and I" !

I think I need to visit New Zealand someday - beautiful place - and   I could spend a day just listening to that young lady speak -  great accent and she was so full of honest energy and charisma !
Thanks for sharing - I enjoyed that.

OK - I am delving into a new frontier for myself - the blues on electric guitar !
I used my telecaster to write it.

I wrote this song this morning... kind of a sarcastic song about being brokenhearted.

Let me know what you think - if it's any good Phill can break in his new Tanglewood on it ! smile

That might be your best post ever

That was magical - I found myself not wanting that performance to end.
The hand slide just before the 2:20 mark was so cool.
He sure was in a comfort zone playing- feeling the blues!

Thanks so much for sharing

Badeye - you got me going into the blues this morning and I came across the biography of Robert Leroy Johnson - Holy crap - I had never heard of him.......
after reading the story which was incredible - a lot of stuff suddenly made sense... especially the connection to the influence on Eric Clapton.  Clapton's album " Crossroads"  - aligned with the incredible crossroads story of Johnson's alleged  deal with the devil  @ the crossroads in a cemetery. - not to mention the death of his first child during the childbirth process - people said it was his payment to the devil in exchange for his musical ability that suddenly came over him.

It is a fascinating story - heck - they don't even know how Johnson  died or where he is buried - so many wild stories.   

I truly was educated by these reading- one thing linked to another - and suddenly almost two hours had gone by !

Not to mention coming across the 1968 Crossroads album that has John Mayall, Cream ( which Clapton played for), Bluesbreakers, Blind Faith, Delaney and Bonnie, Derek and the Dominos, Duane Allman, and Clapton himself - what a 4 cd set !!!  Great, great music!

Thanks for the inspiration this am Badeye !
