Yeah…..I think that’s why I shelved it back in the 80’s.

I actually recorded it earlier today.

I actually learned (my arrangement) of Blackbird some years ago....it was very satisfying!

Back in the 80's I fiddled with a song by Simply Red called "Holding Back The Years". I had the words saved, but thought I would put an arrangement together. His voice is very high, so that was one hurdle to overcome. I'm having a lot of trouble with bursitis in my right shoulder (reaching over the dreds), but I have something cobbled together I'll try to record later today.

Sarge, I've heard you play....maybe strumming the back would help!

Oh, Phillip...this just breaks my heart! I'm so sorry to hear about your wife.....may she Rest In Peace, and my you find peace also. God Bless you and your family.

Thanks.... I just admire your style....I wish I could write songs

I really like your stuff, JB. Too bad your guitar is always upside-down! If I were to steal this song, would you be upset?

I was drafted on August 13, 1969. Woodstock was held on August 15 through 17, (although Jimi played on the morning of August 18.). So, I was in boot came when this happened....and they sure as heck didn't let us off!

So sorry for your loss. I recall your talking about him. I lost my dad 26 years ago. Lost one of my oldest cousins yesterday.... he was 89, (would have been 90 in July). Life is fleeting....enjoy each day as if it was your last....one day it will be.

I had some "V" guitars here for awhile, (I had to sell my cousin's 44 guitars).... he had a couple of "V's". Since I play mostly sitting down.... they aren't the right guitar for me.

That is just a beautiful guitar..... I hope you enjoy it for the rest of your life.

That is just beyond sweet!

I noticed the same thing....Let's face it....Jimi is most closely associated with a Strat..... Clapton has had a multitude of guitars over the years.
