Some nice guitar work...

[S11LKO]

Hi all,

I've had a LOT going on in life over the last year or so, so haven't had a chance to post much. I have been following and enjoying lots of your uploads though, and I hope you're all well. The responsibility (looking after a seriously ill family member 24/7) keeping me away has now (sadly) been resolved, so I'll hopefully be able to spend more time here doing what I love again.

Anyway, I thought I'd share this online collaboration I did recently with some guys in Japan; a long way from where I am in England (isn't the inter web wonderful? lol).
They had seen my YouTube rubbish and contacted me asking ME to provide the vocals, which was a nice, unexpected honour.

Although I AM only providing the vocals in this, it contains some fine guitar work by Ryo, my Japanese buddy, and the others, so I thought you might find it of interest.

Till laters my friends, Dave

Nice work, Dave. You have a terrific voice. A great heart, too. A year of caregiving for a terminally ill loved one can take a lot out of you. Music is a wonderful restorative.

Thank you Patty. I really appreciate your kind words my friend. Dave .

That was really cool. The sound was fantastic. Nice job!

This is really great. Great playing and singing. Credit to all involved. Sorry to hear of your travails Dave, but music is a great friend in times of trouble. I was going to say, with the Japanese connection, this would look great on the current Seasons thread……were it not for the guitars

Thanks buddy! It was fun to be a part of, and for once I didn’t need to touch a guitar or uke!!!

HaHa! Thanks for watching and the kind comment, but yeah…I think the guitars might be a little out of place there.

Dave great job with the vocals! Ryo & his friends must have been impressed by your videos to ask for your input. Wondered how you were doing because I haven't seen your posts in a while. So sorry to hear about your family member.

My wife & I are sad because we lost one of our staffys a little over 3 weeks ago. Daisy suddenly collapsed one day & the vet said that she had Hemoangina carcinoma which was incurable. They gave her an IV & said that she might have a week more. She perked up & was back to normal for a few days until she collapsed again.

Take care,
Keith

Keith,
That’s very sad to hear my friend. Losing a beloved pet is often as painful as losing ANY family member, isn’t it, so my thoughts are with you my friend.
I hope you are otherwise all well and doing ok?
Thanks for your kind comments on this video which, as always, are appreciated.

Dave,

We really appreciate your kind thoughts. Am doing well - playing pickleball this morning, jamming with a ukulele group & then a boxing class. At 70, definitely the oldest one in the class.

Our ukulele quartet played at a local community center for June 21 make music day - did you get a chance to play that day? Glad to see that you're getting back to making music again!

Regards,
Keith

Wow Keith! I turn 67 years old in October, and you are certainly more active than I am!!! lol

And no my friend. I sadly made no music on 21st June - I was grandson & 'grand-dog' sitting for my daughter who had gone away on a well deserved short break for a few days. (Actually, now I'm thinking about it, I seem to spend most of my life doing things for others. Perhaps I should take my guitars & ukes and go away on a solo 6 week sabbatical where I can just do 'me things' for me. lololol)
