Why not ask your friend for approval of a third song of your choice, one that you really want to do as your gift? Lars That's a great idea, Lars. Could be a good way for your to find your groove too, Sal. Knowing you have one that you're excited about playing and comfortable with may help ease the pain of playing Skynyrd. 😜 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friend's replacement guitar (a friend drove to his house a mile away and brought an old alvarez with old strings)... broke one string. then another. then my preamp died. This gig was rough. Got word just before we started that a close friend (who comes up and sings a song or two at every gig) was taken off a ventilator and died. Maybe it was his ghost... Oh - and BoSoxBiker - the 2nd song is Lynard Skynard Simple Man. A song for my friend and his mom. I hate that song. And - with apologies to any who partake on this forum - Skynard does nothing for me. Sorry to hear about your friend, Sal. That’s rough. Sure does sound like the gig from hell.

I had a good friend pass away yesterday at noon. He had been on a vent for the last 2 weeks. My buddy was 43 and passed from COVID. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoSoxBiker Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 I'm sorry to hear of both your losses, and sorry to hear you got sick, too, kwalker. I hope you speedy recovery. Total bummer on you gig from hell and loss of the D15. While I have no aversion to 'Skynyrd nor Led Zep, I agree that the song "Simple Man" does get pretty annoying to play & sing for some reason. Good luck with that. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortyearspickn Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 I'm very fortunate - no friends, family or acquaintances have been hospitalized or died from Coronavirus. Though a few have been infected. Our daughter in law's grandmother was in her mid 90s and died last month from a stroke. Don't know if she had CV19, but she didn't die from it. Healthy, happy and active, no symptoms. Then ... died getting out of bed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith, I've noticed a shortness in breath too....I've always had GREAT breathing, (I was tested every year for @ 30+ years)... but after COVID, not so much! I'm hoping my lungs will heal some...but not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
