First things first, many, many thanks to Greg for adding Bass and a Great Harp break. Don't tell my mate Dave, my normal Harp buddy, he's been ill with Flu.

YOU ARE NOT LIKE ME
Some People don’t know they can’t control their dreams
They hold them back and watch them rip at the seams
If they could break away maybe one day they could see

When the world is in battle,
It grows hard to see,
The fights that occur within lines.
Constant distraction dispensed
From the top

With oil down its sides.
All of the effort

The Freedom Of The Moon

Poem by Robert Frost
I've tried the new moon tilted in the air
Above a hazy tree-and-farmhouse cluster
As you might try a jewel in your hair.
I've tried it fine with little breadth of luster,
Alone, or in one…
(Remastered 22/10/2021)
So I got me a new geetar the other week.
Named her Lala, obviously. Seemed kind of appropriate - she wears a faded gold dress and is full of chunes and mischiefs.
This is our first effort together. It was meant…

Keep your mouth shut and/or eyes wide open
I understand you that you don’t why
Everything you’ve ever believed…
Well Reg is struggling can he find that belief in himself or not…….
Belief
Sat at the bar wishing again on a dream
Head floating into space
I got my eyes closed to the scene
Cause I know I sit here in disgrace
Another drink another whiskey…

Great Song! This should help her with a speedy recovery!
Makes me want to dance around in a circle on a couple of toes.... Love it!
Very smooth, this song just rolls and flows right along. I like the interplay between the vocals and the slide guitar!
Very easy feeling, like putting on old shoes.
NICE. It's got a wonderful feel to it. Love the "Doo-do-do-doo" choruses.
OOh Yeah!!

Oh very tasty. Very tasty indeed... It had me thinking Ronnie Lane? Excellent stuff.
A nice easy feel to this. Just what you'd expect from a *"fine looking woman"*
I really like that tuning.it suits a "fine looking woman with long blonde hair"
That's the stuff. I'm with Merry Bear over that banjo.
That banjo in the distance is just too damn cool!
YOU ARE GETTING YOUR GROOVE ON. I THOUGHT WE WERE SUPPOSED TO BE SENIOR CITIZENS.
*I'm reaching for my harmonica to play along! Yep, key of E I'm forwarding this over to a friend. We'll be tooting along in Minnesota*
I was digging this and wondering what to say - handturkey nailed it, it's the pulse of the thing. Nice one.
Playing it again. This is one for the headphones! Love that lead guitar moving from ear to ear -- good fun!
