I see guitar players performing and playing so beautifully. They generally have great hands with long slim fingers. I measured the index finger on my left hand this morning. 2 3/4", makes it a little more difficult on a hand that is broadened by many years of carpentry. I try very hard to get a good clean sound from my playing. That being said, I try to cover bad notes by covering or blunting the string and fret that I can't reach. I would love to play better but, it is what it is. Praise God, I know that I enjoy it if no one else does and I have to believe that I can make a joyful noise unto the Lord and I can feel his presence and approval when enjoying a chorus and song of praise to him. So, I'm just gonna keep doing it. May his blessing be on this blog and the music. Let the words of my mouth, and my typing and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight Oh Lord, my strength and my redeemer.

"Rosie" 1967-Gibson J-45

Trying to decide what two songs I need to put on here to catch up. I think it will be "Under the Willow" and "I can feel, I can hear, I can see".

"I can feel, I can hear, I can see"

Proverbs 2:1-5 (KJV)

2 My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee;

2 So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding;

3 Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding;

4 If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures;

5 Then shalt thou understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God.

I was lost in my own selfish world,

Caring for no-one but me.

I had all of this earth that a man could ask.

And still I was too blind to see.

I couldn't feel the savior's hand,

I just couldn't hear his plea.

I couldn't see my God's great love, Oh no....

Couldn't feel - couldn't hear  - couldn't see.

Then one day I was standing alone,

My friends I had turned away.

I just couldn't see what was wrong.

Till I turned to the Lord to Pray.

I began to feel the savior's hand,

Began to hear his plea.

I began to see my God's great love.

Began to feel, began to hear, began to see.

My life was different, I began to change,

New friends I began to meet.

I talk with Jesus everyday,

His praises repeat, and repeat.

And now I feel the savior's hand,

And now I hear his Plea.

And now I see my God's great love,

I can feel, I can hear, I can see.

And now I see my God's great love,

I can feel, I can hear, I can see....
