that's all right now mama...

Hi Kimmie.
Been practising Willing till my elbow got sore and I had to stop.
I do it without the slide but I got it down pretty slick.
IN the key of G
Linda Ronstadt does it in E.
expensive wino Waddy Wachtel plays that solo.
Two really cool rundowns.
one in the verse and one in the chorus and you need to gotto give it a real quick flick at the turnaround.
Just got Sailin' Shoes off Ultimate guitar tabs and I think I will give that a go toooooo!
hehehe.
Lowell George plays guest slide on Roll Um Easy on Prisoner In Disguise.
I miss him.
See my friends....way across the river.
memo to mark reason.
ya gotta unnerstan' mark that during the nineties new zeland was subject to the ministrations of lazy school teachers who completely fell for the post modernist bullshit line that only your own truths count.
one of those neat circular arguments that cant be refuted by anyone unskilled in dialectic.
furthermore, the arrival of remotes (flick) auto trannies (flick) cell phones (flick) meant that the yoof could just give anything the flick whatever.
along with the labour government in the first years of the new millenium who allowed if not encouraged morons to take the mufflers off their cars and drown out anything they didn't like and now we have a nation of petulant, truculent arrogant jerks who think that their own thoughts are facts.
its the real thing man!
listening to Elvis.
EU pressing of 50 of his earliest tracks.
real gone.
they pump it out.
Elvis was an artist.
He worked almost all of the time.
cut a mountain of stuff.
