When It's Just Me, Myself and I

There is something about just being by yourself sometimes, enjoying life and soaking it all in, just me and my guitar. I do it often just because I enjoy it so much—raw, not perfect, not trying to impress anyone. And from time to time I just hit the record button even if it is not something I ever intend to share. But often do. Most of the time just for family, who enjoy having a listen. Here's a little compilation of just that sort of thing from April 2018. Hardest Part (Coldplay) Behind Blue Eyes 3AM (Matchbox Twenty) Hurt (Johnny Cash) Short People (Randy Newman) Someone Like You (Adele)

@Beestring Oh. lol. Hmm. It's easy to get that wrong around here you know. Especially if your name is sort of generic one way or the other. lol

Thank you, sir. I do appreciate that. I tend to think I sound like a bird caught in an electrical wire. But I will take any complement I can get. lol

Have you ever heard the Johnny Cash cover? I mean, not to discredit NIN in any way, but Johnny's version will be a classic long before NIN's ever does.

@NJChicaa You can't tell me Cash hasn't got that one. I mean, imagine how many more people probably even knew who NIN was because of his version.

Thanks. Always fun to share, for whatever it's worth. Most of the time I feel like Johnny Fever on WKRP.

I enjoyed listening to your singing. I like time to myself too but I don't do any singing.

Thank you. I do appreciate that. Mostly it's just fun for me to enjoy passing some time. But it is fun to share as well.

I'd be inclined to believe that I can't either, but I give it all I got, which ain't much, but it's still fun. lol

I remember all the controversy that “Short People “ got. I always liked it, Then again I was a Randy Newman fan.

Oh man. Yeah. He DID get a ton of flack for that. lol. But he stood his ground. I applaud him for that. And I too was a fan of Randy Newman.
