Location: Flahdaw | I am naturally hesitant to post this recording because it's kind of a wienie song and I'll catch hell for it, I'm sure, but I played it at a get together with some friends and one of them asked me if I would record it and send it to her, so I did. And since I did that, I figured why not post it on the OFC too? What the worst that could happen? HA!!
What's funny is that, just as I'm about done, my wife walks into the room and almost screwed the whole thing up (as wife's will often do), but fortunately she didn't barge in and scream "hey, whatcha doin? And the dog didn't bark either. The gods were with me. (Oh, I'm fighting a sinus infection, but the guitar playing turned out okay.)

Thanks all. Yes, it is a wienie song, but it's not as bad as one of the others they wanted me to record. On that I had to hike up my big girl pants and just say NO! |

There is nothing wrong with taking a trip to weiner-ville as long as you balance it out.

The shirt is suspect. |

Last time I saw one of those was in Picture Post with Liberace relaxing poolside with "friends". They were sipping cocktails and reading Women's Wear Daily. |

Location: Phoenix AZ | Take it from someone who recently played "Puff The Magic Dragon" on ukulele to a bar crowd, son that shirt ain't nowhere NEAR gay (although I'm not exactly sure WHAT I'd call it).
Btw, props for at least WEARING a shirt. My god, that's a nice looking guitar (Taylor?) and the thought of smearing arm pit juice all over it just freaks me out.
Yeah, the song was a bit "weanie", but I assume you wrote it to get laid. I've stooped lower. You got anything else "up next ..." ??? |

Location: Flahdaw | * The guitar is an Everett "Celona"
* The shirt is a PGA Tour (although I better make sure it doesn't say LPGA Tour?)
* James Taylor wrote the song to get laid (she died)
* I'm surprised "Puff Daddy" made it out of the bar unscathed. |

Right on Schroeder... the collar is the give-away.

Nice job Bob. You've inspired me to get my a$$ going again, in spite of the shirt.

Location: Ireland | Big JT fan and that is an excallent version of a great song - don't think its 'wienie' song at all! VERY nice - enjoyed listening. You'll need to get someone to put in the female harmonies at the next OFC gathering and also put in the guitar harmonies on the middle riff also -that will finish it of soooo nicely.
Thanks for sharing |

Seriously! That was well done.  |

and it's a darned fine performance too, but you'll never get most of us to say so in those exact words. We're guys, it's gotta be a backhanded complement at best....... |
