Hello everyone. Happy Friday night and Merry Christmas! My friend Christopher, who I play along with while he sings on a lot of my submissions has not made it over by me since around Thanksgiving, so it's been a while since we got to jam. I was talking to him the other day and he sent me a link to a song that he wanted to have me share with you guys tonight. He said it's a Christmas song. It's not really done in the traditional Christmas spirit. I'm not sure what it even has to do with Christmas, maybe it takes place on Christmas. Maybe you can tell me. Here is Christopher playing and singing a Woody Guthrie song, the 1913 Massacre

That was very nice. Good recording too. He has a voice that fits the song.
[–] crazy_eyes 0 points 4 points 4 points (+4|-0) ago
He's actually coming over here soon so I will let him know!
[–] crazy_eyes 0 points 3 points 3 points (+3|-0) ago

[–] crazy_eyes 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
He says thanks! He loves your singing too

I love that song. Real as real can get. Back in the day, they would try to unionize and Rockefeller would go in there and send goons like punk ass prisoners and kill at will just so he didn't have to pay miners decent wages. Woody Guthrie was the man at spreading the word.
Bound For Glory is a good movie. Shows how Guthrie would ride the rails and be among the hobos playing for workers trying to spread the word about unions.
Chris knows some damn good stuff.

Its dope as fuck that chris singing is reaching out to you all somewhere in the world just like woody still spreading the word

After I talked to Chris I remembered that I didn't have anything new to share this week. I was working on something but it's not really done, it needs a bitching guitar solo, and I dont have one yet. So just to make it easy on me, I grabbed that acoustic guitar that doesnt stay in tune too good and tuned it up the best I could and played a little ditty on it that you may remember from Rush back in the 70's The Trees

LOL It has to wait a moment. There's a small audience re-listening to EH. They'll hear you next.
My son would be a good guitarist, but he does not practice. No, no he does not.
Also, you doxxed the fuck out of Chris.
Holy shit, you made that horrible guitar sound pretty good. That guitar sucks. You should throw it on the fire.
[–] crazy_eyes 0 points 4 points 4 points (+4|-0) ago
I would but technically its Chris'
[–] crazy_eyes 0 points 5 points 5 points (+5|-0) ago
Since the Trees didn't take me very long to play and record. I decided to play another intro from the same album while I had the guitar in my hand. This one was a little bit harder on an acoustic guitar, with those six string chords and the high action I had a little trouble getting all the strings to ring out all the time. That's a lot easier to do on an electric guitar. Or even a good acoustic guitar. Anyways, here is the intro part to Rush Hemispheres played by me on an acoustic guitar.

The thread is going slow. Like, very slow.
I have nothing to do with this. However, you've heard me play with him many times. This is a dear friend of mine named Dan Hudson. He was in the RHB tracks - Roy Hudson Band. Then, he split up with Linda Roy.
He's since started making weird stuff like this:
It's seasonal. Trust me.
[–] cynicaloldfart 0 points 4 points 4 points (+4|-0) ago
You've gotten us off to a fantastic start and I suspect the holidays has people busy with real life, and that's great. Maybe this is a good time for you to get that sleep you, and your bones, are needing.
[–] TheBuddha [S] 0 points 4 points 4 points (+4|-0) ago
I decided on a glass of wine. I'll sleep soundly tonight.
I used to call this period 'the holihaze' cause I'd stay trashed from thanksgiving to nye.
That was not very productive.
Either way, I'm not sleeping yet.
I should describe the house. J is in the living room and making googly eyes at my son. His girlfriend is here. His best friend and his girlfriend are here. The missus is upstairs and probably somehow sleeping. I'm not sure how she does it. It's not quiet.
So, I'm kinda comfy in here with my wine.
[–] crazy_eyes 0 points 4 points 4 points (+4|-0) ago
Howe big of a rock? Thats a nice present!
[–] crazy_eyes 0 points 2 points 2 points (+2|-0) ago
Chris says that the singer sounds like Bob Weir
[–] TheBuddha [S] 0 points 5 points 5 points (+5|-0) ago
I might as well dump this again:
@cynicaloldfart - your mom might like this one.
[–] cynicaloldfart 0 points 4 points 4 points (+4|-0) ago (edited ago)
She's heard it, to high acclaim. That's some excellent work. People might think that's a weird thing to say, but TB has an effect on women of all ages, up to 92 at least.
[–] crazy_eyes 0 points 2 points 2 points (+2|-0) ago
Sounds great man!

Merry Christmas to you all and yours. Wishing you peace, joy, and laughter.

Thank you cof! Merry Christmas to you and yours as well!
Cheers!

Hello, and welcome to another wonderful edition of the FNGT. Like normal, I'll go ahead and get you started.
This week, I'm going to cut to the chase.
This is my understudy, in whom I am well pleased. This is her midterm, in effect. Both guitar parts are her's and the drumming is based on her direction. She would like you to hear it - probably for compliments! ;-)
It is not without error. However, it's still pretty fucking impressive. I am legitimately impressed. I hope that you are also as impressed, because she put a fuckton of work into this. I would wager that she has 50 or 60 hours into this one project, total. She says she has no idea. That's not helpful!
Anyhow, it doesn't need much more introduction. Turn your volume up. Trust me. EH pretty much has one favorite sound at the moment, and it's best played with some volume. She has putting scales together nicely. She pays attention. Enjoy!
https://instaud.io/34U4
Psst... That's what you get when you put your hours in. My only real part is playing the drum as she asked. She does not know drum notation or anything - yet.
Finally, I can't be certain how late I can stay tonight. I have people and I am also exhausted. So, it's probably not going to be that long. I'll try to do two hours.

This is absolutely stupendous!! You just keep getting better, and better, and better. Artist/Songwriter/Producer/Engineer. Your talent, dedication, and perseverance are so incredible. Especially from about 2:20 on, THAT's a bitchin' solo! You are the Queen of Crunky and you better get used to this sound, you'll be hearing a lot of it. What a gift you are. XXXOOO.@--<-<-- @--<-<-- @--<--<-
[–] TheBuddha [S] 0 points 5 points 5 points (+5|-0) ago (edited ago)
"Thank you! Look carefully!" EH
I don't need to add anything. This is her work. I had issues staying stable on a drum stool! She told me what kind of drum she wanted and where. It was cryptic language that she used, including the word 'crunky' many times. We finally worked out what it was she wanted. She needs to learn to play the snare.

Awesome! Very well done and good job, kiddo. You need to fire your drummer though. lol
[–] TheBuddha [S] 0 points 4 points 4 points (+4|-0) ago
Can't fire me. I'm pretty much a national treasure.
[–] clamhurt_legbeard 0 points 6 points 6 points (+6|-0) ago
drum notation is bs
wtf even is this
i play drum and i dont even know
only thing crazier is bagpipes lol
[–] cynicaloldfart 0 points 5 points 5 points (+5|-0) ago
I think those little ones are called leprechaun notes, dancing around the bigger ones.
[–] TheBuddha [S] 0 points 4 points 4 points (+4|-0) ago
That looks like a 4/4 march with rototoms, maybe?
[–] crazy_eyes 0 points 4 points 4 points (+4|-0) ago
The drum one looks like it might be for a guy with a bass drum strapped to his chest. The top of the line is one hand, under the line is the other.
[–] crazy_eyes 0 points 5 points 5 points (+5|-0) ago (edited ago)
Wow, this is freaking awesome. I am very impressed. She plays better than I do already!
Edit: I almost forgot

I fucking told you!
EH laughed. Thanks, she says. She goes on to say she didn't make it perfect, but she practiced hard. I'm no typing it out verbatim. I still haven't slept.
[–] cynicaloldfart 0 points 4 points 4 points (+4|-0) ago
Different strokes for different folks. You have a style all your own that's great, and fills a special place.
[–] TheBuddha [S] 0 points 4 points 4 points (+4|-0) ago
She just saw the edited flowers. She says thanks again. I half expected her to say "Good."
