Scratch47 Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 I'm nowhere near most of you all in terms of playing. I write some songs and every now and then post one that means something to me. A close guitar picking friend passed away unexpectedly earlier this year. He was one of those special guys you like immediately; always asking others what he could do for them. As selfless a guy as I've met. Anyway; this is for Mark... http://www.soundclick.com/player/single_player.cfm?songid=11229957&q=hi&newref=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePretender Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 That's awesome! You represent what I think this forum is about: real people with a passion for life, friendship, music, and guitars. Particularly Gibson guitars. Thanks for sharing a bit of yourself. Peace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duende Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 I love the story teller aspect of your writing - very sad, but very nice Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onewilyfool Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Scratch, don't be putting down your guitar playing, that was a wonderful song and playing and singing!!! Keep 'em coming!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnneS Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Well, that was just lovely, sir-a fine, fine song and sweetly rendered. Nobody's fire is "better" than anyone else's-- music from the heart gives off heat and light and summons other hearts to gather 'round. You've added to your friend's legacy, and I thank you for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scratch47 Posted December 5, 2011 Author Share Posted December 5, 2011 Thanks for the kind comments good folks. I've been (kindly) told I'm not cut out to write happy songs, and I must admit many are melancholy. But I firmly believe music helps to heal the soul. Thanks again... And yes; Mark was one heckuva guy. Great memories... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissouriPicker Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Sweet song, scratch. Very, very real. You write what's there. That's all you can do. When it's real, you don't have to embellish it much or exaggerate. You just tell it like it is/was. You do it well, my friend. Happy or sad, just do it as you feel it......And not a thing in the world wrong with you guitar playing. When it comes to guitar playing ability, you're best not being anywhere near me.....Keep it going, buddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
