Notes_Norton Posted June 7, 2021 Author Share Posted June 7, 2021 Windows are open, warm day, cool ocean breeze drifting through, mockingbird singing away, orchids blooming on the trees, and everything is green from last week's rain.

Yes its a weird one to use that technique on. I used to want a 12 string when I was a youngster. Not so much now. My old signal processor had a 12 string patch on it. It sounded surprisingly good. Obviously that was easy enough to fingerpick. I recall picking 'Here Comes the Sun' using that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveFord Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 The Post Office finally delivered a Fox Creek motorcycle jacket which I ordered weeks ago. I was sure it was gone for good but it's here and fits perfectly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveFord Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 He may have been the seller. There was an unused paper towel and 45 cents in one of the pockets and there is no sign of bug guts anywhere so it may have been used just for posing.

tlwwalker Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 Today I took a buddy fishing on my boat in the Beaufort River, Beaufort, SC, USA. He and I each caught a nice redfish apiece. We returned both to the water. The company/conversation was great. I am blessed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merciful-evans Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 Swimming early morning with Cherry. My pension fund earned more this year than I did when I was working! That put a smile on my face, I can tell you. Even the trip to the recycling centre with a car full of busted up furniture & beds. Sounds dull but it was very satisfying slinging all that junk into bins. Its also a beautiful day... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have a 12 string and I've never played Stairway. The only way I'd get a 12 string is if someone bought me one. The only way I'd play Stairway is if I was asked to. So there's a 99.9 recurring % chance it'll ever happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spring in South Florida is in February when the Live Oaks, Seagrapes, Jasmines, and most other plants put out fresh growth and flowers. By the time the Sabal Palms get into the act, it's summer weather and the traditional Rainy Season (although the rains are late this year). I just discovered this. A group of Italians taking a boring Henry Mancini song and turning it into something I actually like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, Well I do have to admit, It was one of the first songs I learned after I retired from Justin Guitar and I learned it in 6 parts. I practiced each part for a month before going on to the next part. So it took awhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the only Led Zeppelin song I play. I always loved it. By the way: Debbie did buy my 12 string for me! Lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
