My instrumental cover of Christina Aguilera's song "Beautiful" I guess I am ready for the old folks home!!!! ...now that I am doing ballads!!!
I just happen to really like the chord progression and thought I would try an instrumental cover…
From the early 70's...an old Crusaders tune with Larry Carlton..I bought this licensed backing track with no guitars....so the guitars are me... drums , Bass and keys are the backing track..

I can't add anything real profound that hasn't been said, but yeah.. I wish that I could play guitar like that. I thought of you while driving back from the Canadian border today... was listening to some Snooky Pryor that I hadn't heard in a while and Big Legged Woman came on.. haha you did a great job with that

Christina who? lol
Don't know the original - but sounds like she or her producer/someone listened to The Beatles a fair bit...
But you're right... fab chords. And I like what you've done with them.

This has probably happened to every one....family comes in for a visit but just uses you as a hotel...and leaves the dog for you to take care of while they are out having a ball.....freeloaders!!!
Inspired by Uncle Greg!!

Oh yes, rockin.
I'm not too good at family gatherings.
I'd be tempted to feed them the dog... "What are we having for dinner?" "I've done you a nice curry :-)"
Right from today's headlines....a shameful tune I just had to write.

This is my contribution to the Song Writing Challenge: Write a song about "First Date".
Written for Minnesota Homebrew Radio Show / Pioneer Radio 90.1 Thief River Falls.
Here's a song that battled me for quite awhile... so I am glad to say I've gotten it recorded. Still rough from my home studio, but trying out a few additional things on my keyboard to round out the sound around the ukulele. Thanks for listening…
Here is my contribution to the current song writiing challenge offered by Minnesota Homebrew Radio Show, 90.1 Thief River Falls, MN.

When I saw the May songwriting challenge offered by Minnesota Homebrew Radio Show…
I wrote this story with the intent to let the listener decide for themselves who the common thread may be.... But for me I'll dedicate this to my dear family and long time friends. Thanks for always being there for me.
I hope you enjoy…
