Congratulations to BRANKA and NICK!!

Hiya Tom!

Here's a song I wrote a few yrs ago when I bought an electric guitar (no longer have it, sold it to my nephew who thought it was very cool that it had cat teethmarks and peach-colored paint on it from where it scraped against my bedroom wall.  Peach? Orange+Pink paint)

HERE'S HOW IT GOES, accompanied by self-taught strumming, of course:

Strummity strum strum strum

I got a new guitar

and I'm gonna sing you a song

and when I'm done you're gonna clap

and tell me it was GOOD.

Strummity strum strum strum

now my song is done

Now its time for you to CLAP

and tell me it was GOOD!

Strummity strum strum strum

Kathleen,

Are you sure you provided us the truth about your age?

I can`t imagine than you`re funny and playful 16 :) .

Strummity strum strum strum ...

Great song.

THANKS FOR ACKNOWLEDGING MY LIFTIME RECOGNITION :) .

Luka and you make a pretty good circus from me :) .

Must think a little about that :) .

Hugs and thanks!

Branka

LOL!!  Now you and me are the circus today!

A few years ago when I was turning 39, I thought that was SO AWFUL!!

So I bought an electric guitar, with absolutely no musical experience and no intention of taking lessons either!!

So I would strum only 2 songs, trying to learn the music from internet:

"Killing Me Softly" (by Roberta Flack or the Fugees)

and "Ironman" (LOL again today!!)

So I learned completely KILLING ME SOFTLY and played over and over all day in summer 2004 with the windows open, driving neighbors insane, because I strummed slowly and loudly, PLUNK PLUNK PLUNK PLUNK PLUNK PLUNK PLUNK (I heard he sang a good song) did you understand those 6 plunks??????

YES I AM almost 44 but I DO behave like 18.  I was visiting my sister last night because she's moving away soon...and we rarely talk anyway even though I've only been 5 miles from her for 24 years, we are both in the same city but 700 miles from the rest of our family...now she's moving a thousand miles away and told me it costs less to live in North Dakota and in a smaller town...and I suddenly got a bad case of "If you leave me, can I come too?"

LOL and she said "SURE you can follow me across country AGAIN!  And this time, can we do things together?!"  HAHA..

Now where was I?  Oh yeah!!  I always have the child-like mentality, being always the youngest in my family, no expectations from anyone that I ever have to grow up.  SO I DON'T!!!
