Not bad! Not bad at all!
Funny you sent this; I was just getting a ukulele version together for a wedding I’m doing this weekend and it helped me with a small part of the bridge I was trying to piece together.
It sounds so sweet and simple on the uke that I think I’ll record it and put it up on my site.
Beautiful and a great sounding guitar.
Respect,
Col. Andy
Thanks for posting that!
I’ve seen this guy (along with Mark Mazengarb) in concert a couple of times at a local venue and they are absolutely brilliant! One of the best guitar duos I’ve ever seen.
And very personable people to speak with as well.
And Loren’s voice is as good as his guitar playing!

Well, no Bose but I did work this one up and played it at a wedding thanks to this post.

Wow…
In light of his recent passing, here’s one from Jesse Winchester. Enjoy.

Sweet…so subtle and focused!
Gotta love that battered guitar! That’s the type of guitar a player owns vs. a collector.
Was involved in a conversation about sound yesterday and was reminded of this experiment.

There is a longer version that includes the tones.

Hi O…
Now that really does take us back.

For me it really was the beginning. I was just 3 months old at the time.

Something from Willie and Merle
Enjoy,

Although I never cared for the stuff as a teen (it actually made me sick to my stomach for some reason), it’s a very neat song, by two country greats. It coincides with Willie getting into the market with Willie’s Reserve.
We recently had both performers down here in The Villages on separate sold out shows. No, they did not sing this song then.
Not sure if this one will brighten your day or not. It might help you understand why the songs you write or sing are not always accepted by your audience. I can’t say the information surprised me, but it is disappointing that a medium enjoyed by so many is only related to by the masses on a very basic level.

Hi O…
I’m not at all surprised. Living in Germany and being an english native speaker has led to countless people asking me to translate lyrics from english into german. Quite often with the question “what does it mean?” More often than not I have to say that there’s no real deeper meaning, or that it’s just not worth the effort to look for some deeper meaning, because there is none. You’re right, it is very sad.
You can still find good lyrics, but you do have to look around a bit to find them.
If you look at music as a means of communication, and also at who’s actually listening to (and writing) the different Genres, then it does somehow become clear why it is like it is. Still, there’s no accounting for taste, and many of us who notice these things have been around for quite a long time.
At the moment, should it interest you, one of my favorite songs is “When you say nothing at all” and that goes back many years to the film "Notting Hill."
Take care O… and keep finding and posting things to “brighten” up our days.
Thanks,
Tony
As you wrote, not surprising. But it does confirm everything I’ve seen going on for the last couple of decades.
I get that people like Elvis and the Big Bopper had simplistic lyrics. But beginning with the middle 60s and onward, there seemed to be a trend toward sophistication and meaning within popular music lyrics.
I guess Don Henley warned us, “all she wants to do is dance!”
