My New Rittenberry (THE GIRL IN THE GLASS)

Carl Kilmer · Post by **Carl Kilmer** » 12 Dec 2010 5:29 pm

Ok my friends, that keep asking me to post something on YouTube.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kIcV2WHvmXA

Last time I posted any of my playing was last January on BoxNet.
This ain't near as good as Mike, Nic and others play it, but I think
I've improved a lot since I just started relearning 2 years ago.

Thanks for watching. Would like any comments, whether good or bad.

Hey Lucky! That was a wonderful rendition of Mike's song. I really like the way you changed it up just a little bit to show your own individual style. Personally, I think I like your version as well or perhaps even better than the original (although not taking away in the least from the quality of the performance by Mike Sigler). For some reason your manner of playing and my tastes seem to coincide. Keep up the good work; I can't even imagine your taking a break from playing the PSG with the level of playing you are demonstrating presently! It seems more like you never put it down!! Would love to hear you someday playing in person. Thanks again, Roger

Great Job Lucky, a Very good, and interesting rendition. The only thing I saw wrong was that there was not enough of it. Please let us hear more from you. That Ritt really honks.

Lucky my friend, that was awesome. The tone of that Ritt, and you execution couldn't have been better. I am very impressed, and also very envious. Keep up the good work, and keep on posting your great playing. Your Buddy from Missouri, Larry

You're making a great comeback Carl!

Roger Kelly · Post by **Roger Kelly** » 13 Dec 2010 6:12 am

Carl, enjoyed your rendering....nice and smooth. We'll be looking for another tune from you soon.

Carl Kilmer · Post by **Carl Kilmer** » 13 Dec 2010 6:32 am

WOW! Guys, Thank you all so much. I sure appreciate all of your
comments. You sure make me feel like I'm getting closer after
trying so hard for the last 2 years to learn how to play again.
I had a lot of help from God, and inspiration from you guys,
and without all the help and support of Jean, I couldn't make it.
After my accident, she and many others had to teach me how to
read & write again and do so many things I could't do anymore.
She couldn't teach me how to learn to play again, but she made
sure I got whatever I needed to make it easy and comfortable for me.
I thank God for giving me a wonderful wife and so many great friends.
Wishing you all A very MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY & HEALTHY NEW YEAR
God bless you all, your all wonderful friends to have for sure.

Lucky and Jean

Great job Carl and you have a smooth clean sound on that tune I really enjoyed that. Keep up the great work.

Larry Baker · Post by **Larry Baker** » 14 Dec 2010 2:28 pm

Another chance to listen, just in case you missed it. Great picking. Larry

Carl Kilmer · Post by **Carl Kilmer** » 14 Dec 2010 5:23 pm

Danny and John, Thanks so much my friends. I'm sorry it took so long,
but with very little memory, it takes me a long time to learn things and
I can only learn by watching and listening to what others are playing.
Since I can't use tab, to copy others, I do have my own style of playing.

Larry, Thank you brother. I hope this was better than I played it in S.L.
Hope your Music Room is nearly done so you can get back to playing again.
Say hey to Jean, we will give you a call again before long.
Lucky

Another Bumper Upper for a great picker and a super person. This is for those of you who didn't see it before. Carl, I'll take what you've lost. Larry

Carl Kilmer · Post by **Carl Kilmer** » 31 Dec 2010 11:03 am

Hey Larry,
Thank you brother. You always make me sound like a pro.
Well, I'm getting a bit better all the time (I think) and I do
practice a lot. I hope someday to play as good as I used to.
I'm working on another song now, that I'll post before long.
My Jean said to say hi, we can't wait to see you folks again.
Hope you and Jean have a very Happy and Healthy New Year.
Lucky

Carl, that's one of my favorite songs, and you do a marvelous job on it. Please remind me not to play it anytime we're together...I don't want to be embarrassed!

Larry Baker · Post by **Larry Baker** » 31 Dec 2010 1:52 pm

Roger C. how about a You Tube from you? Would love to see and hear you again as well. Larry B.

Carl Kilmer · Post by **Carl Kilmer** » 31 Dec 2010 2:09 pm

Roger my friend, many thanks. You better players sure make me feel good.
After trying hard for 2 years to play again, I think I'm getting closer.
Next time we get together, I want you to play it, so I can see how I can
improve some things I can't always do the right way. I like a Pro's help.
Wish you a Happy New Year, and look foward to seeing you again soon.
Lucky

Roger Crawford · Post by **Roger Crawford** » 31 Dec 2010 3:05 pm

Carl, we should both pick Mike Sigler's brain on that tune. I bought his CD after hearing him play that. The rest of the CD will knock your sox off as well. Larry, one of these days I'm gonna try that! I hope I can get Jeannie to bail me out again, sometime. There's a show here in Atlanta on February 13th. Come on down!

Matthew Warman · Post by **Matthew Warman** » 1 Jan 2011 7:11 am

excellent Carl. my 2 cents worth - I think your playing on that sweet Ritt of yours ought to be a bit more out in front of the backing tracks.

Eddie Harper · Post by **Eddie Harper** » 1 Jan 2011 12:00 pm

Great Job Carl..really enjoyed listening to it....Eddie

Carl Kilmer · Post by **Carl Kilmer** » 1 Jan 2011 3:39 pm

WOW! You fellows sure know how to make an old fellow feel good.
I love the way ya'll play, and you all play a lot better than I do,
but you always like to make others feel like a pro and give them
the inspiration they need. That makes them want to get better.
I'm working on another one now, and when it sounds good enough,
I'll put it on the tube for you to evaluate. Thanks to all of you.
Hope you all have a very Happy and Healthy New Year.
