    Here is tonight’s song – “Old Shoes (And Picture Postcards)” by Tom Waits. But I don’t see anything about old shoes or picture postcards in the lyrics, which is pretty unusual. An easy 3-chord song. Thanks for watching!

    You came up on my YouTube Rotation right after Carson and Skylar Makee doing the same song! Congrats on getting picked up on the funky Youtube algorythm!

    You did great on this song!

    @Michelle-PSL, after listening to the lyrics it seems that the “old shoes” might be the ones being worn by the soon-to-be traveler and “picture postcards” seem to be the memory pictures of the one being left behind as the traveler begins the journey. Does that sound right? I never heard this song before but you certainly held my interest and I love the boom-chuck strumming. Great job!!!

      I think you’re probably right @Marquita . Just have to “read into” the meaning of the song. Thanks for listening!

        @Michelle-PSL, When we first talked, I may have mentioned how important words are to me. I listen hard… that MAY make it easier for me to read or find a meaning.

        I’m trying to catch up with the forums… so far behind…

    Way to play on and get it done, Michelle-PSL. Sounded good to me. What’s the title of the song?

      Thanks @Maydog . The song title is “Old Shoes (And Picture Postcards)” but you will find no correlation to the lyrics. Found this down the youtube rabbithole.

    Excellent job @Michelle-PSL . Your rhythm is getting so steady and you are really starting to get that bass strum down.

    PS, I think you could turn up the gain on your mic a little bit.

      Thank you @Mike-Gaurnier ! I’ll fiddle with the A.I. gain the next time I record.
