I Can Still Remember the First Day We Met

We were out one evening and this song idea came into existence due to a comment from the love of my life.

About; how,where,when we first met and life's journey so far.

This song is about love at first sight and the remembrance of that magic moment.

Even though we have been together for 25 years, everyday seems like a first day and every date like a first date.

I composed and wrote this in 20 minutes, the fastest, I think. I have ever written a song before in my life.

the very first song I wrote for G. took me almost 20+ years to complete due to the everyday distractions of Life, Work and Family.

I hope you enjoy/tolerate my first foray into the Country/Blue Grass style of genre.

I tend to usually stay close to my Funky Folk Roots.

Bravo and nice song. I think Don Williams might enjoy singing that one.

The Old Tarf said...

GB- I had to look up who Don Williams was, as He is old school Country and Western. I did not know any of his material.

So , Congratulations to yourself on the Publication of your Book. I followed the link, Sam- put in and went to Yahoo. I hope it becomes a Best Seller.

Ha ! Great stuff, Old Tarf. I must borrow a digital camera and post some of my own.

I notice your G maj chord is very ... economic. Pinky on the top string. I still use the 3rd finger on the top string meaning a lot of movement - unnecessary I suppose, especially if moving from C maj which happens a lot.

Learn a new thing every day and it's barely evening here.

Thanks.

EK- It was a shortcut I used at the start. Easier change for the G7th and G6th as well. It also forced me to use my pinky more and able to get more strength into it for the Bar Chords.

I use my pinky to pick my nose

Tut tut, Mermaid.

Don't blame it on the sunshine,
Don't blame it on the moonlight,
Don't blame it on the good time,
Blame it on the BOOGER

Apparently this Jackson 5 hit was written on guitar - by someone with your filthy habit.
