Burry me out on a lone prarie.
Prarie water washin' over me.
Burry me out on a lone prarie.
A friend who calls a coyote.

Burry me out in the lone city.
Sewer water color of my tea.
Burry me out in the lone city.
Sewer water wash we all down to sea.

She use to sit and watch and wait.
Now I think I'll go and sit.

Of course, I could just be getting old.

Led Zeppelin was history before most of these whippersnappers got bornded. If I've done my advanced calculus correctly, you can be 30 years old and still never have lived during the Zeppelin years.

Good call my friend!

80. Sometimes I listen to Steve, and think I can almost play what he's playing, then

he just gets to work, and I want to put my guitar away - feel like I have concrete fingers.
I realized from watching this video he is playing about a quarter of this behind his back, which made me feel worse.

I could play like him if I just had his talent :eyes: Unfortunately,.....

Stay out of the mud.

mark

[Iggo]

86. Oh, man.

I hear what he's playing. I can see it in my mind. I know exactly what he's doing and where on the neck he's doing it. And yeah, I just put my guitar down and listen, 'cause that ain't happenin'...lol.

93. Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head, by Hal David and Burt Bacarach

Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed
Nothin' seems to fit
Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin'

So I just did me some talkin' to the sun
And I said I didn't like the way he got things done
Sleepin' on the job
Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin'

But there's one thing I know
The blues they send to meet me won't defeat me
It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me

Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red
Cryin's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'
Because I'm free
Nothin's worryin' me



It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me

Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red
Cryin's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'
Because I'm free
Nothin's worryin' me

[LeftishBrit]

94. Even William Shakespeare had a rain song!

When that I was and a little tiny boy,
With hey, ho, the wind and the rain,
A foolish thing was but a toy,
For the rain it raineth every day.

But when I came to man’s estate,
With hey, ho, the wind and the rain,
‘Gainst knaves and thieves men shut the gate,
For the rain it raineth every day.

But when I came, alas! to wive,
With hey, ho, the wind and the rain,
By swaggering could I never thrive,
For the rain it raineth every day.

But when I came unto my beds,
With hey, ho, the wind and the rain,
With toss-pots still had drunken heads,
For the rain it raineth every day.

A great while ago the world begun,
With hey, ho, the wind and the rain,
But that’s all one, our play is done,
And we’ll strive to please you every day.


(P.S. It's been bucketing down here too; but at least that's better than last week's ice!)
