That does not sound good at all. Hope you get well soon.

Glad you were at least able to make an appearance. Hope you feel better. There's not a lot of sharing going on, but I've tossed a number of tracks from the archives up here. There's also a new track - which, if you're feeling down, I encourage downloading and playing locally. If you do so, you'll understand why I suggested it - and possibly feel a little better.

Buddha may not have wanted to give you a flowery speech, but I will as it's deserved.

Congratulations to TheBuddha and Crazy for their relentless effort in providing a venue for fellow musicians every Friday night for 4 years. Even during the Great Voat Outage and the closing of the same didn't stop them from finding a way to provide a place for musicians and listeners to share the joy of home-made music. It takes a lot more effort than most may realize to pull this off every week and in spite of near-death accidents, crazy people in their lives, and just the struggle of living a full life they have always found a way to make sure there was a place for others to share their joy of music.

The near perfect replications by the Buddha, Biff, and J, and their band at times, and Crazy's endless stream of real life put into songs, sometimes humorous, sometimes just blazing Rock with friends makes each Friday night something to look forward to in this crazy world of ours. It is indeed a blessing to have heard so many artists contribute over the years. We've lost quite a few during that time but someone new always shows up with yet another great tune and talents. Indeed, it has been more than just the music, friendships have been made that are quite valuable and touching.

So I just wanted to say Thank You to them all for the time, effort, and passion that is required to keep this going reliably for so long. Music is best, and meant to be, shared. I truly appreciate all the hours of enjoyment every one has brought, much needed at times just to make it through the week. A life without music and friends would indeed miss one of it's great joys!

VERY well said COF .. many blessings to all here FNTG. I'm finally back out playing again, and I've got some new songs in the pipe so I'll be able to participate again. Thanks for all the kind words that I've received here, they are most appreciated. Special thanks to The Buddha, Crazy and COF you are very much appreciated

So nice to hear from you again. Glad you're out performing, you have a gift that needs to be shared. Will be looking forward to hearing your new tracks. Take care.

I'm with Buddha man in thanking you for everything that you have done for us. You're archive is so much more organized than anything I have, if I want to play a song I've done in the past and shared with you all the easiest way to find it is the fngt.gq site. That's so awesome. I appreciate everything you've done!

Hell, them's some purdy words but you put in more time than some of us do at times. A hearty thanks goes to you for your many, many contributions.

And, you're right... I don't think people know how much effort and time this takes. By now, I've invested thousands of hours just for the thread. That's ignoring the myriad hours of practice and learning.

Fuck yeah nigger!

I recorded a guitar lesson with my tutor after I discovered the H standard tuning.

Enjoy! https://youtu.be/uOgD5eCe0RU

I still need to join. Put it off too long

Drop one of your tracks in a top-level comment and that's the price of admission.

If you're nervous, keep in mind that we have really low standards and are easily distracted.

You know what? Another Metallica song:

Metallica - Master of Puppets (B #2 & B; TB #1 & P).mp3

Gotta give you mad props tonight because I've been taking you cats for granted. Incredible, this is. You got yourself an incredible band and major chops.

[–] • 1 pt

LOL Thanks! I'm surprised you'd not heard that one before. We've trotted it out a few times, I'm pretty sure. I think we may even have a version where it's just guitar.

Here is an original song that my friend Chris and I wrote together a year ago or so that we played again and better,

[–] • 1 pt

Appropriately named, sounds like it should be played around a campfire. Mellow and laid-back, nice.

[–] • 2 pts

When we wrote it we were sitting around a firepit. Chris says what should I sing about, and I tell him just sing about what you're doing, and that's what we do!

Hmm... Did you share that one before?

[–] • 1 pt

I shared a different performance of that song before yeah, but there were mistakes in that one worse than the mistakes in this one

I thought it sounded familiar. LOL

I'd say something about great minds thinking alike, but my mind ain't that great.

Play that funky music, white boy!

The amusing thing is we're still not sure when that was recorded. Alas, I don't think it has a picture embedded in it.

[–] • 1 pt

sweet!

I like that one. For the life of us, we have no fucking idea when or why it was recorded. It wasn't titled. We just concluded that it was me, 'cause nobody else here can play bass like that.

I like it too!

I think this was the first song I shared:

Cliffs Of Dover.mp3

I didn't know that. That's what is called "hitting the ground running."

Congratulations are in order. Fo' years. Bad mutha fucka.

Heh... Good timing, I'm actually on my way out for the night. I'm glad you showed up. There's some new material in this thread and some that hasn't been shared all that much.

And, I'm not 100% certain that it was the first song I shared - but I'm pretty sure. We could look it up in the archives.

I just took a minute and dug this out of the archives:

https://fngt.gq/2017-archives/08-20-2017-fngt-archive/

I'll see y'all on the flip side. I've got a missus to attend to.
