    I should have kept my 1st taping because it was the best except for the next to-last chord. Instead, I went through hell trying to just get through it. My fault, because I’m slap-happy from lack of sleep. Have been up since yesterday at 5:30 a.m. Went to a concert last night, and got home late. I realized that I had just missed the area the plane went down in Philly. It occurred right outside my work. I wasn’t coming from work though. I was caught going in large circles trying to get to where the concert was. It was rush hour, raining, and I was late getting to concert for backstage pass check in, and I was zigzagging all over the place and passed probably within a mile of the crash site and a 1/2 hour before the crash. If I’d been by work, I would have definitely seen it. Such tragedies this week.

    From not really having played much since the beginning of October, my vocals have again atrophied and I need to work on them.

      Thanks so much @Braden . It really is a beautiful son, and I would watch movies /musicals back in the day, and they brought me such joy.

      It’s been quite a while since you’ve done a cover Fletch. That’s how you taught me to start simple.

    Love that song. Probably one of the world’s best tunes. You did a great job on it. Thanks for sharing. Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck recently did a version of it that is pretty cool. If you haven’t heard it you should look it up and have a listen.

      Thanks Kevin. Your support is always appreciated. Things are a tad stressful lately. I’m a federal worker. Guitars a nice distraction from it all.

      I guess I could say, it’s good to be seen Phil. I still have a ways to go, but I’m grateful to be getting back to it.

    It is nice to know that you are able to be back in the saddle again and playing. I know it must help your psyche and your ability to overcome obstacles is inspiring to us all.

      You are so sweet for that compliment. The surgeon said my desire and goal to play again was going to get me back up faster than most. His nurse can’t believe how.quickly he released me to play.
