I rememebr singing "I believe in you" and John Denver's "Country Roads" (my dad was a coal miner from West Virginia, transplanted to Boston to work the railroads) to the tune of a 12 string guitar. Good stuff. Sadly I have ZERO talent for the guitar, and yes I have tried!<br /><br />Glad the Don Williams song was well liked. The words are soothing to me and always make me feel good.<br /><br />I hope the Maiden tune was well liked. Some terrific guitar work and the lyrics are pretty moving as well. People think hard rock is mindless banter, but if you listen you can hear, ya know?<br /><br />Thanks for the kind comments, I needed a lift tonight (personal stuff) and that this post was fun makes me feel alot better.EconomicDisconnecthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02802078645713106743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1207581886255094115.post-76961799117805354672009-04-17T21:38:00.000-04:002009-04-17T21:38:00.000-04:00I haven't thought of Don Williams in over a decade...I haven't thought of Don Williams in over a decade.<br />My best friend in high school always liked him and called him by his own made up nickname which was the "lonesome cowboy" instead of what the country music people labled him i.e. the "gentle giant".<br />Thanks GYSC, Don Williams brings back some good memories.watchtowernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1207581886255094115.post-80684151003030471802009-04-17T21:20:00.000-04:002009-04-17T21:20:00.000-04:00By the way, did I say thank you?
