AGP, I do it all the time...I get into the music and respond off the cuff! I wish I could sing that good! Yeah Derek, I think he nailed it pretty well! Can’t wait George, you’ll knock it out of the park, great  NY song choice! AP....it’s out of the can...that was Neil Young trying to sing like George!

Thanks Derek . . . Richard is a FIRST CLASS video animator for those vocals and 3 string guitar playing like mine in this regard.  Since quite a few of the Nation members think my voice on this video sounds a lot like Neil Young (I didn't know who Neil Young was, so I played a few of his songs - and they were correct in that regard), I'm now working on doing the vocals + drums + harmonica (another instrument to start to learn how to play) + rhythm and lead guitar parts on a 3 string CBG to a song titled: "Unknown Legend" by Neil Young next and put some Route 66 and desert highway + motorcycle related panning photos in a slideshow format to go with it for the visuals on that music video creation. . . so stay tuned!  :-)

Great job on this JB song.

Thanks AGP!  It turned out to be a very interesting learning experience on my part because I have never even thought about recording my own singing, or recording my own CBG playing (except for some very short guitar sound quality clips made on my cell phone - which I have previously posted here to other forum members) , or attempted to play a keyboard/drum machine before...  It was all good training for the upcoming summer vacation with the grandchildren were we are going to coach them while they each learn to compose, sing, record and produce their own multi song CD's to take back home to play for their other geographically distant family members and friends living in Arkansas and Georgia...

Then Kudos to George Jones Jr for the vocals Richard, should have read the fine print!, :-D

Thanks James! This is George’s song, a beauty it is! I did what Vinnie calls my Cecil B. Thing with the video.

Thanks impassioned Nancy! George does make the butter fly on toast and the cat Meeeeowow!  The cat definitely needs a shot of slow gin ha!

Thank you Uncle!  I agree, this is George’s first song recording, it blew me away! He sent me a song sheet, this is a pretty difficult on three sting. I couldn’t and didn’t add anything to it! It’s stand alone goodness! I’m pretty good at putting sad videos together though, he found the right guy for that ha!

Good work Richard
