I was sittin' and playing some gee-tar yesterday morning. I started playing "Thank You" by Led Zeppelin. Based on a couple threads about similarity between songs, I decided to "be funny". I started singing "Can't You See" lyrics to "Thank You". After a "Heyyyyyy, wait a minute", I then did the opposite.
I followed that up with a "Sweet Home Alabama" and "Werewolves Of London" combo, and then "Wild Thing" and "Louis Louis". We had a good laugh, and I was rather looped from the morning meds anyhow, so silliness was ripe for the plucking, so to speak.
Sometimes when I'm playing, she will say something relating to whatever she's doing or whatever's happening and turn it into a Blues song on the fly. For example, the "I slept wrong and now my hip's been hurting all day long Blues".
Oh well, what's the point of it all if you can't have some fun now and then? :D

Yep, gotta have some fun once in awhile. :D You should record those blues songs you & your wife make up on the fly. 8)

meds can be fun. just stay behind the guitar and not the car.
we must have the same funny bone, because I enjoy mixing and matching songs.
Awe Roy, you have to get more serious about your music ............................................... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :mrgreen:

A big 10-4 on that one.
Awe Roy, you have to get more serious about your music
Can't. Everytime I'm serious, she, our son and one of the dogs think they're in trouble. :lol: :lol:
Oh, speaking of trouble. I was just kind of noodling last week when one of my younger neighbors comes over and started spilling the beans about some legal woes. As he was talking and going deeper and deeper into his troubles, which includes some jail time, I started playing "Folsom Prison Blues" followed by "The Midnight Special". My poor wife could not keep a straight face. It went over his head, but she knew. :lol: :lol:

Thats a hoot. I could get into trouble if I had a guitar at work. :shock: Lots of songs come to mind there. (Que Ricochets "Another one bites the dust" story)

Oh yeah, that's great!
Couple of days ago I was in the Kroger searching fruitlessly for something. The Muzak started playing "I still haven't found what I'm looking for."
"A cheerful heart is good medicine."
Sounds like your mastery of the guitar isn't coming up short just due to meds, Roy.
I'm glad you are making good of your situation!
Music is a form or remedy, I've found!
WTG!! :twisted:

Now there's an ambiguous sentence. :lol:
"A cheerful heart is good medicine."
I don't think that was a compliment!..HA
"It's all about stickin it to the man!"
It's a long way to the top if you want to rock n roll!
Sort of reminds me of a blind date I once had. My daddy told me to say something nice to her or compliment her in some way. The only thing I could think of and said was "You don't sweat much for a fat girl." :lol: :lol: :lol:
