FROM ME TO YOU, JUST ME AND MY OLD ACOUSTIC GUITAR!

MY VERSION OF A GOSPEL SONG
“LIKE JOHN THE BAPTIST”
Hello everybody,
I hope the new year has started off right for all of you. As for Xmas, well, Santa was a little stingy this year. Or perhaps I’ve been somewhat bad?
Naw! Never happened. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
But I want you all to know that music is always on my mind, and getting out something new for you guys and gals to check out is also been in my thoughts.
I don’t know if you have all noticed, but for most of my work now days, I use just my acoustic guitar, my voice, and add some accent instruments with just my DAW with my computer. Kind of a one man band affair.
Or have I told you that before? I told you I’m getting up in years. LOL.
I turned 69 years old in 2018, and I’m here to tell you, I am beginning to feel every one of those years. Like OL’ WILLY’, I’m looking at more years behind me than there are in front of me. So, with that in mind, I decided to have a little fun with my music and belt one out for J. C..
(Jesus Christ, for those of you that didn’t get the hint)
Anyway, it’s just a simple little tune I call, “LIKE JOHN THE BAPTIST”. Give a listen to it and see what you think.
My wife laughed at me when she heard it, and I give you permission to do the same if you wish. It’s just a rough recording, done in one take. So don’t expect a sound quality to rival the Phil Harmonic Orchestra. But please check it out and also give some thought to what the lyrics are saying to you. Even the stones of the earth are not forever. (But they’ll be around a lot longer than we will, so give some thought to you’re day of judgment.)
Love to you all, and God bless.
