Thanks @Loraine for listening in and commenting. Very much appreciated so grateful you found the unplugged rendition enjoyable. I was surprised I have been asked by a lot of people who was Richard Marx. I was asked to do this so I improvised because the original had way more accompaniment so mine is unplugged with highlights from the original.

Thanks @Philb for listening in and commenting. Yes this is an ahh hah moment how these skills can be added to bring out the music. And I improvised all of it got the words and the chords but improvised the highlights. And will try and do that now on all my songs going forward.

Thanks @albert_d yes I did my own thing but I would be lying if I didn’t tell you that I took Robert Johnsons and Blues Brothers met in the middle. Then added some energy vocals and this is what came out. Very much appreciated you listening in and commenting. So glad you found the unplugged rendition enjoyable.

Thanks @Philb I think it is important to let Jim Reeves songs live on and be remembered. My covering them is my attempt to do that. Nice to know I got it done and it was enjoyable to others.

Hey thanks @the-old-coach I wrote a song to a blues shuffle patterns. It is called Music Is A Friend Of Mine will be tweaking it again with my new blues skills it is my song so I can tweak away without being chastised. Music lets me vent yes its a blast I am very glad I stuck with it. Now it even sounds good is a plus but the best is it works my mind lately even more because I am starting to improv more into the playing. When I improv something always suffers forget words or do the wrong ones or wrong chords . So more takes until I get one postworthy. But I memorize everything goes good during practice start recording things can go sideways so delete and do it again. Yesterday I tackled Jim Reeves Am I Losing You got the improv solo note runs figured out but when recording and playing it back need more smoothly flowing feel to it. So today will be taking another crack at that if all goes well only time will tell. I think once I get things more memorized it should clean up.
