DO TREASURES HAVE REAL SPIRITS

The story I heard and read about the events behind this song, was that
they were touring in Japan, and someone had some illegal substance in
their suitcase. Hmmn, saw pictures, of big long spears... :icon_scratch: ???

What were they thinking? So, they got arrested, Japanese Law Enforcement,
took the mighty band down... They had to get bailed out. Then just in time,
went to play the rock show, their suitcase, and wallet a tad bit lighter...

That was my treasured, full blood highly Spirited, Spanish high school Bass player band buddy, who told me that story, about his favorite Bass player/singer/songwriter/musician...

We would go over to his older bro. (lead vocals, lead and rhythm guitar) bro. in law (pianist),
good lifetime neighbor friend (drummer), to their garage studio, work and practice learning,
playing, singing Beatles, and Mc Cartney and Wings songs after school. He would sometimes
have a half pint of Cuervo Gold. He introduced me to the Golden songs, and also taught me
to shoot the Tequila, warm with lemon and salt. I remember him telling me when
I first sang with him on a song. He looked at me and said, 'you have nice natural
Tremolo in your voice.' Hmmn, those days passed way too soon...

I worked with (roadie and lights), and played music (in studio) with the band, and when I left, they said. 'There is definitely something special about you'...
Just a page, long ago, and far away now...

OK Mrs. Jodie,

Gettin' ready to do it...

Voice not bad today, and changin' out me Custom Light Polyweb Elixir's,
On my green patriotic sweetheart, so it rings true. For the record, I haven't
changed them, since we played and sang at my lovely Neice Holly Ann's wedding,
in Lytle Creek, CA. 6-2012... No, they don't sound very good after that long of a time.

When considering I was practicing about 40 hrs. or so a week, 'till I just put it down.

I would have to change strings at least weekly, but if playin' out, maybe every other day or so.

New strings sound so true and chimey, specially on this honey...

Ahhh New Elixir Polyweb Custom Light Guage Strings, PBR Chillin' in the freezer,

the women went out for the evenin', and it's gonna' be on... That is If I can

remember how to even play and sing...

When I saw my old buddy at the music store, I realized when it was, the last time had been in there...

Voice was soundin' good, so I took my green honey with me, went into the amp room,

and just did a 45 min. set, without so much as a drink of water...

Man I was dry, but not winded, cause I had been quit smoking cigarettes, for about 3 1/3

yrs. That was in 2010... Well, think I remember how to string it up, Let's see here...

My how time flies, even if yer not havin' the best of fun... Hmmn... :sunny: :fish:

Did you string it up?
 

Yes,

Then I laid down what I thought was a good rendition,
and when I played it back, I didn't like it. I need effects,
you know, Compressor/Limiter, Digital Delay, Reverb,
so my vocals will sound right. Also, I had the guitar
too loud this time, and it was overpowering the vocals,
on the one track, non re-mixable recording.

I need to get my BR1800 out, and that way I can do a descent
mix with effects, maybe lay down a harmony vocal track. I did
that before, and It sounded pretty good, me singing harmony
lines to my lead line. Then I can do a good mix and master.
Probably use the onboard drums too, get the timing, and
some rhythm happening.

I have a friend who is more fluent with the porta studios,
and will get him to help me do it. But just doing a hurried,
not professional sounding recording, and posting it, I just
can't do that. So, back to the practicing, and recording board
for me, till my voice starts to sound pretty good, then I'll
submit something for a little sample, I am working on it now...8-) :sunny: :fish:

I took before and after pictures of my guitar, propped up against
a birdbath in my wild side yard, with a shadow rock there, but they
didn't upload in my computer last nite, I'll try again, Man new strings
sure make a difference. The Adamas looks and sounds great! Awesome!

Anyone ever see the likes of this?

Check out the deep carved vertical blood groove,

and a place to put a bowl, and catch most of it all...

One of the very few level, comfortable places around.

So I sit there and rest, drink, snack, and think about what

must have been, and how the scene must have looked. Occasionally,

I will get to thinking about The Great Spirit, and will stand, lift my arms and

eyes, up high and speak, and worship The Ancient Of Days, who is More than Worthy,

to receive All Praise, Honor and Glory, for what he has done, is doing, and what he is

about to do...

Even, for all like me, and all of his precious treasures, all of you too... :sunny: :fish:

Think I'll go to the river this weekend, to float and play in the water,
in the pouring rain. Been there done that, more than once,
but I get out and away from the water, when the
lightning comes out to play... Krack... BOOM!!!

But, the current may be a bit krazy, with all of this continual rain.

Sounds like a little bit of Funnnnn!... He He, yeah I'm a little...

Mrs. Jodie,

I think they would be like the songs I have sitting on a
lonely shelf, like the sun without the moon, maybe even
God's creation, without the significance that we all surely
and mysteriously do have... Yes I uploaded from youtube.

I usually like to find the Artist's youngest recordings (ahh to dance)
and performances, the best audio and video, even if they're
lip singing. 8-) When they are older, if the music and timing,
quality, is clear and on pitch and harmony vocals, then I may
like it. Like Neils rendition of 'Cinnamon Girl' above, with
his Legendary Band, Crazy Horse. They knock it out of
the rock and roll park... Thanks... :sunny: :fish:

One of my favorites songs . Magic ! ( I see magic in your thread ,,,abracadabra ) .

Thanks,

My Brother. You are generous with your compliment.

God Is the author and designer, of true magic, his ways...

Take care, and may your days be touched with his magical

and mysterious, unseen but still manifested, supernatural powers...
