Gay bar (where Clifford plays), bar association (where Mark plays), a high bar, a low bar, an old folks bar? These things matter.... For me, not in any particular order: -The Boxer -Amie (w/falling in and out of love) -If you could read my mind -I miss Mary -Time of your Life (Good Riddance) -House at Pooh Corner -Garden Party -Let it Be -You can close your eyes -Peace Train (although I still need work on this one, errr... aahh... more work than I need on the others :) ) | ||

Joined: March 2005 Posts: 12754 Location: Boise, Idaho | The first 2, Leroy Brown and Don't Mess Around with Jim, are songs of his that I have no intention of learning. I just don't really like them. I like the guitar in Lover's Cross, but my Huttlinger dvd has another song with Dream something or other that I was learning and I've Got a Name, that I need to learn. I've Got a Name has an alternate tuning and I never seem to get around to those. | ||

"Rock Me on the Water" Jackson Browne "Something to Talk About" Bonnie Raitt "Carefree Highway" by Gordon Lightfoot I can't believe I didn't have "Rock Me on..." in my library. Great song. Now I need to find a valid tab. I'm having trouble in playing along with the vids... | ||

I like a lot of Jim's stuff, but I'm finding that I like his "barroom" stuff more than anything else. The first 2, Leroy Brown and Don't Mess Around with Jim, are songs of his that I have no intention of learning. I just don't really like them.

[/QB] The one vid I found of Jackson Browne doing "Rock Me on the Water" was from a "Soundstage" performance. However, the video and audio were out of sync, and it looked like a bad Chinese movie! The song is still powerful, IMHO. Johnnie Rivers has a cool version of "Rock Me on the Water", but I don't think there is a video of that song. Michelle | ||

That line made me laugh. Originally posted by Old Man Arthur: He had a whole lot of funny stuff that I thought was better, "Workin' at the Carwash Blues" and "Roller Derby Queen" to name two. I believe that both of those songs were meant to be Funny? At first I didn't like it because of the weird little lead he put in there. But then I realized that he was probably trying to give everyone an audio version of a "west coast turnaround" in the same way he gave an audio version of sands running through an hourglass like he did in the ending of "Time in a Bottle." In a way, the ending of "Time in a Bottle" kind of creeps me out. Just reminds me of how sudden Jim and Maury's lives were cut short in an instant. Michelle | ||
