No Power, 1/2 bottle of Capt. Morgan, Blizzard, my guitar and a daughter who can sing

[Hamar]

Blizzard hit us pretty hard, we had no power, a wood stove for heat, a bottle of Capt. Morgan, boredom. My guitar and my daughters talent. I could have played better and even harmonized better but she carried it.. I know its dark and not much to look at but give it a listen....

when all else fails..
start singing.


I lived in rhode island...on a hill.
the hurricane never happened. the four foot snows..never happened, the single digits for a high, those did not happen either. Over 100F for a high in the shade...nope.

they must have a natural memory erasing cult going on there...because it all happened.

nice tune.

wow that is my favorite song.. conrats on the great family time and your daughter has a beutiful voice

[200kss]

One of the greatest songs ever.

I hate to be 'that' guy but, daughter huh? (I'm 23) Cover sounds good!

[groucho]

Amazing. How old is your daughter? You both sound great

[pdub]

Wow, that's good. I like it.

I can't do the melodic strumming like that (even if I could) because all of my guitars are tuned to open E to play slide. Those chords aren't there any more. Been like that for 40 years, all the six strings in the fleet.

Great job, and a great way to as you say, make the best of it. Cudos! I like it, that had to be fun.

Open G to me is strange, I tried it. Open A is just like Open E but the whole progression is moved down a string and you can't get to the screaming high note. No need to experiment over here, Open E for decades.

Case in point - on the left you have open E. And on the right you have open E.



Upstairs, we have open E x5 plus one standard tuning (the bass). Even the electronic drum kit is tuned to open E. The cymbals say "E" when you crash them.

You sure can play and your daughter sure can sing. Nice stuff.

More power to her! Slightly off topic but this past Sunday on the UK (read: original) Top Gear, a young lass, literally, who can sing and enjoys cars was featured as the star in a reasonably priced car. Her name is Amy Macdonald. Glad to know there's more than one girl my age out there like that.
