Title: Unsinkable Sam (the navy cat) Post by: offthewall on December 18, 2018, 09:46:06 PM I got myself a 5 string banjo a couple of weeks back.
Looking for a song to try it out on my pal, Joel Sattler from the USA, dropped me this true story of a cat during WW2 who was shipwrecked a whole bunch of times. Great story. Standard guitar, 12 string guitar, acoustic bass, banjo, harmonica, washboard, bell. Enjoy.

It appears that you can master any instrument that is placed in your hands. I am green with envy! Title: Re: Unsinkable Sam (the navy cat) Post by: offthewall on December 19, 2018, 07:43:46 AM Thanks but I can assure you there is nothing masterful here!
Fortunately, the way we work in home recording means we can do things in sections or comp bits together until they are right. There's no way I could play 'live' these days. Even when I compose songs I can't remember words or chords. Have to have it all written down in front of me. Age takes it's toll. It ain't just the arthritis that gets worse it's the eyesight and memory as well ..... I think! ::) Title: Re: Unsinkable Sam (the navy cat) Post by: MarioD on December 19, 2018, 03:33:19 PM Thanks but I can assure you there is nothing masterful here!

Age in taking it's toll here also. But there is a silver lining, we lived through the best rock band era ever. From Chuck Berry, The Stones, Beatles, Elvis, etc those guys and gals could really play!
