My youngest son and I talked about the trip to the Luthier and I passed on what transpired, especially about me openin for somebody and how much I've been enjoyin this thing we call life

lately and the people I've met, like Joe Lester, Randy Beal, Mike McNamara, Shane Ludwig, Dan Kocher and John Miller...

he suggested I should learn the following song, he said, because you can do it with real passion ... now that I've listened to it, (I had never heard it before just while ago) it brings a tear to me eyes (dang onions anyway) for him to recognize, if I wasn't doin this, I'd be doin this....anyway!

Derick, funny you should mention my cryin... the first time I played, It's Not Supposed To Be that Way, for my lady friend in Kingwood that I've known for 50+ years, I actually choked up.... because I do it for my sons to their daughters since I have no daughters and they don't sing or play... I explained to her why I played it and it made me choke up while I was playin it...

I will learn this song... for him! And use his tellin me as the introduction to it...

Garland,

Yes I've played and listened to this video again, and I really like it.
You will have to post the video of you doing this song, as soon as you have learnt it, with or without the choking up.
