Tafmutt Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I'm speechless. She's a real talent. Thanks. MJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j45nick Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Wow! She sings pretty nice, too. Not sure how that bracelet would get along with a guitar top, however. She must be tiny, as that's not a large guitar. JC, that's just a stock 000-28 EC with the pickguard removed. The 000-42 has abalone purfling around the body, plus the inlaid headstock. I have one of these 000-28 EC's, and they are a very pretty guitar, with the aged top toner and the very nice EIR back and sides, plus the herringbone purfling, etc. I also like the square, older-style headstock. It's actually a very, very nice guitar, and is articulate in the typical Martin way. Also has a short scale, and a v-neck profile very much like the Gibson v-neck. Only thing I don't particularly care for are the skinny Martin frets, but that depends on your playing style. Mine rarely gets played, as I have too many nice Gibsons....

JuanCarlosVejar Posted August 9, 2012 Author Share Posted August 9, 2012 MJ , since you liked the song here is the translation . It was origanally done by Roberto Carlos a legendary brazilian singer : Habits I thought I would be able to forget Certain old habits. I thought I would no longer remember Some things that have already passed I thought I could deceive myself by saying That these things of a life in common Wouldn't leave marks I didn't imagine I would be longing for The small words Of those simple phrases We say before going to sleep In the morning A "good morning" in the bed The informal talk The kiss after the breakfast The cigarette, the newspaper The habits speak to me of things, Of old facts I can't forget the happy evenings With our friends The end of a date The early morning The cuddling up in the bed The lights down All these things That only time Can make us forget And then, I see myself as lonely as I am now And I breathe all the freedom that someone would dream of Suddenly, being on my own Even scares me Sometimes it costs me a lot To admit a 'me' without you. How can I forget the habits If I haven't even forgotten about you? JC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I didn't understand a word of it, it was nonetheless beautiful AND beautifully sung. Regards, MJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EuroAussie Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Great voice, great talent .... a pretty lady like her of course should have been playing a Hummingbird instead though ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EA , I guess she just got that guitar because she walked into a store and they had it in stock . Lefty birds are hard to find unless you are at SouthPaw Guitars in Tx.
