Topic: That about sums up life.

I began to teach myself guitar last November.  One of the first songs I selected to learn was Randy Travis' Forever and Ever Amen.  Except I wanted to do a bluegrassy fingerpick arrangement on it.  Pretty bold thinking that I could rearrange a song in a style I didn't know how to play on an instrument I also didn't know how to play.  But that's what I wanted to do.  So I spent that last year learning to play "Forever and Ever, Amen" in a fingerpick bluegrassy style so that I could sing it to my wife on our 20th Anniversary.  Which was yesterday.  I woke up with laryngitis.  That about sums up life, don't you think?

Haha, yeah I reckon Zurf.
   There's a Hank Williams song that says, 'I got to the river so lonesome I wanted to die, so I jumped in the river but the doggone river was dry."
Sometimes you just can't win for losin' I guess.

Congrats on your 20th anniversary, Hoping you get over your laryngitis quickly. I did that song for my wife at our 24th.
It really sums up what love can be.
