Okay, here's the one with the musical love of my life my Jasmine. I'm playing along with "When I'm 64" on my 64th birthday 12/31/2014.

I have also listed my 4 guitars.

One thing which may be important is that I never spent more than 300.00 on any guitar after the Jas. I figured that being a beginner at that time I didn't need one any more expensive.

My late Dad once went with me to a music store and saw me trying a Gretsch White Falcon, and I'll never forget what he said: "You buy that one Son, you better damn sure know how to play it."

Wise words, don'tcha think?

Thanks

Okay, just got back from a thorough investigation about bus fares, the ride, etc. and I don't think that's going to be a good way for me to travel. If I were 20 years younger and weren't demented, maybe. My wife just nixed it, too and she'd have to be along to handle the meds, etc.

Not gonna work riding the bus. Not a Greyhound.

Thanks

Bill

Y'all ever heard of Atlanta?

We have the Coca-Cola museum. ROFLMAO

Or we could all meet at Panama City Beach in Florida, that's only about 350 miles from us.

They have the ocean and Dondra wouldn't have any trouble making that drive.

Only kidding, y'all. Have fun wherever you go and give me a number so I can at least call and say "Hey" on the speaker phone. Or something.

ETA: That's beautiful, Amy!

Comment left, great sound, Russell.

Is that a wider than normal neck, or is it just my screwed-up eyes again?

Thanks for the share!

I love this song because it's a change from what I'm used to hearing about unrequited love, Maw and Paw, Jail, Driving a truck, Gettin' drunk, Women telling a guy to go to hell, Politics...... well you know what I mean, right?

This one is more personal and that's why it gets to me.

I would suggest one more "I still try" at the very end. Just makes it more poignant in my opinion. Otherwise don't change a thing. it's an awesome tune.

Bill

When you do, jets, would you post a link, please? Do I have to join soundcloud to listen to your song? I like the lyrics very much.

This band Imagine Dragons is now playing live on Yahoo, Live Nation. McCartney likes them a lot.

Bill

Grah,

Thank you, Sir! We get one of the BBC channels on our cable. I'll have to take a look, but will bookmark Filmon.

Thanks again!

Bill

Look at those Paul McCartney eyebrows! Were you the band's "eyecandy"? And one more question: Are those folds in the picture, or did someone get mad at you?

You don't have to answer that last one, Russell!

Bill

Grah1,  Easy money, that miming/lip-syncing. I wonder if the audience feels short-changed?

Russell, I got to know them when they wore tunics like a doctor might have worn in the 60's. In fact, there was a whole line of those kinds of shirts launched here in the US. Pretty much al pastel colored. I had 5. High School status symbol. Johnny Green. Have I seen that name and The Green Men somewhere? I'm getting a tingle in the grey cells.

Thanks, you two!

Bill

Thank you, Doug,

I was able to piece enough stuff from the web together so I could get an idea of what went on in the later years, but from the beginning, Dave (whose band it was, after all) had set himself as the band's manager and producer, so he became their own Brian Epstein.

I think Dave will come out with something soon. I am interested about The Five's early years. They started together in the fifties and I'm curious as to how those years paralleled The Beatles'.

Thanks for having a look!
