Topic: Ready to Go

I had a good day at work today. Some days it’s like nothing can go wrong from the time you wake up until your head hits the pillow. I sure wish there were some way to bottle days like this.

Re: Ready to Go

Seriously Dude, you should do something with these songs of yours. They're really good.

"Where you begin doesn't matter. Your willingness to start is what counts."
Without music life would be a mistake.
Country music is three chords and the truth.
cool cool cool cool cool cool

Re: Ready to Go

Hi Jeff,
When you find the secret for that bottle send me up a couple of cases. I'll be a happy camper and you'll be a very rich man.

Well Done, hope to hear some of your works in the future

Re: Ready to Go

good tune,I really liked the words,is this somewhat of a beatles sounding tune?

my papy said son your going too drive me too drinking if you dont stop driving that   Hot  Rod  Lincoln!! Cmdr cody and his lost planet airman

Re: Ready to Go

Thanks Dino. It's not really Beatles the way I play it, but I guess it could be played that way. I think the cool thing about seeing the song without the hearing the music is you have a clean slate to give it a try. I know many times I've found songs here and played them just like I later heard them recorded, but other times the way I tried it was totally different, but still good. I play it more acoustic/folk/rock-ish if that makes sense.
