Thanks for the vote of confidence Gary. Feels a little awkward and I know I really need to spend time playing these as much as I build them.

Great sound. Slide sounds good, hard to believe this is first try. Second slide song should be really awesome!!

Blues Under A Clear Sky  

woke up
this morning
thoughts scrambling in my head


As I stammered
into  position
with feet  slung over the bed



whats the use of praying
A soul with not to stay
Too worn out to listen
To the reason why

How can I have the blues
Under a  clear sky
Sun shinning hot
While I'm so cold inside


Everything I ever love
has been walked out the door
Everybody's wearing black
She ain't coming back no more




I've let the years go by
with no reason to cry
living in a ghost town
till the day I die



                                                                                                                     
Still How can I have the blues
Under a  clear sky
With the Sun shinning hot
While I'm so cold inside
