Kindly Keep it Country (I hope it's decent)

Post by Carl Kilmer »

Well I finally learned it, but it's not 100% perfect,
because I have a hard time trying to see the strings.
I tried recording this at least 40 times, and erased
it every time, because I either hit a wrong string or
fret. I got tired of it, so this was my fianal try.
I hope a few of you can enjoy it. Thanks for watching.

Hi guys, and thank you all so much for such nice comments.
Having wonderful friends like you, is what keeps me going.
I'll never reach the "PRO" level again, but I love to play,
but I'll keep playing as long, and as good as I'm able to.
I have to give many thanks to my friends that send me tracks
and call me on the phone to offer their advice to help me out.
Steel Guitar Players are the greatest people in the world.
God bless you all, he sure has helped me since my accident.

WOW! You fellows sure make me feel like I'm getting better.
I'm trying hard to get back all I've lost but some things that I
really need I can't seem to learn again. I sure wish there was
someone close by to help me with the things I'm doing wrong.
Anyway I keep trying, and I do feel like I'm getting better.
Between my determination, and help from friends on the forum,
I'm am going to make it. I will try to have another song soon.
Thank you all so much, you sure give me needed inspiration. :D :D
