Title: Song for a friend. Post by: offthewall on January 28, 2020, 02:12:22 PM An old friend has decided to change her life.
Her husband died a few years back and her family have moved away leaving her alone in a big house. She has now taken the massive decision (at age 70) to sell up and make huge changes. With a son in Canada and daughter in Ireland she has bought an apartment in Toronto and a static trailer-home on a holiday park in Cumbria and will be spending 6 months of the year at each. This has led to her disposing of most of her possessions. One of these was a very fine guitar which she has gifted to me. The least I could do was to write her a song using this guitar. For the video I drafted in drummer Pete (Kentucky, USA) and bassist JeanLui (Cordoba, Spain) to flesh things out. https://youtu.be/MufWofS6v-Q (https://youtu.be/MufWofS6v-Q) Title: Re: Song for a friend.

Super arrangement with a fascinating video. Your vocal was very strong on this also. Great work James. Title: Re: Song for a friend. Post by: offthewall on January 29, 2020, 09:24:41 PM Thanks Mario.
It's not often I write lyrics these days but there was a special reason with this one. Appreciate your comments. Title: Re: Song for a friend. Post by: folderol on January 29, 2020, 09:30:01 PM Nice to see you back with another song - and one of your own too. Good work 8)
