I seriously change my mind about every 20 minutes or so.  Depends on my mood and environment.

debrap - Long story - but I had a late dinner with Harry Chapin back in 1974 - after concert  in East Stroudsburg, Pa.
Nice, funny guy - too bad his demise.

I remember my grade school music teacher having us sing that song, but I don't recall her grabbing her guitar and slamming like those last two minutes! :

I am so looking forward to the day of JJJ's announcement that he now owns a guitar made on all 7 Continents.

Is there such a thing as Penguin Guitars from Antarctica ?

Beamer....
I am just an old country bumpkin so that when I saw your title, I was just like Roger - and immediately was ready to tell you The Band ( or Rick Danko) . Then I gave it a listen and realized it was nothing like that song, but it did stimulate my interest so I started trolling the net til I found it.

I just kept searching til I was on about page 40 smile of you tube and voila!, I  found it - it wasn't easy , but then it had become a quest ! smile
Glad I could help out.

BEAUTIFUL PLAYING - AND THAT WAS A HEARTMOVING RENDITION AS THE NOSTALGIC STILL PHOTOS APPEARED THROUGHOUT THE VIDEO.  I IMMENSELY ENJOYED THIS !  STIRRING EMOTIONS WITHOUT WORDS, WHEN YOU HAVE DONE THAT, YOU'VE DONE SOMETHING SPECIAL !

I was just having a conversation with my psychology class the other day about how when they walk down the street and see older people, they should remember  that we were all young once. ( i.e. Graham's Cloak of Invisibility song)

I also loved seeing all your guitars - sweet collection.   Do you still have your very first guitar ?

Anyway - this was a great way for me to begin Sunday morning at 5:30 am

NFL today - Go Steelers and Packers, although the left side of my brain is telling me the opposite is reality! smile

Thanks again so much for your musical reflection, it was awesome!

Jim

p.s.  I have no clue what a ditto loop is ! smile

Johnny Horton - Classic History in Music form !  I use his stuff in my 8th Grade Social Studies class all the time.
This and Sink the Bismark were on every bar's Jukebox in America in the 70's I think - easy for drunk men to sing along with smile
Thanks for sharing.

I think I got a great deal today
I went into a local guitar shop to buy some guitar pics
As I was in there a guy was selling his guitar on consignment
He wanted $600
I got it for $500 including the case
I played it - checked it over, had the guitar shop guy check it - flawless!


It's a Gibson - 2007 Les Paul Studio made in USA
Pretty good day!
I will post pics as soon as I get to my computer

Roger

That is a super photo -    was this your band or just guys getting together to jam on guitars ?
too bad you all couldn't get together to stage a re-take  - a now and then re-mix!
And this brings me to the point I make all the time to my students - digital media pictures today -  a generation from now - everyone is going to be sorry that they didn't print out hard copies of their photos - instead they get deleted from phones and other forms  - because the storage card is full !
We are lucky to have access to these treasures.

Thanks for sharing - you guys were a HANDSOME BUNCH OF DUDES !

And somehow the song Joe's Garage by Frank Zappa popped in my head -   smile
nice 12er !
