Well hi! Leroy you sound
a little like my self.
Yeah picked up the guitar
aged 40 wrote hundreds of
songs. Then left it alone
for another 20 years.Well
lost everything I owned
and loved back then. I
have nothing now only my
faith and my guitar. God
bless you. Keep playing
and singing. From London
UK
Hi guys, the instrument
on my pic is a sitar, an
Indian instrument. It has
a lot of strings but you
only play on one string,
the others just swing in
the background. The most
difficult thing is to
tune the instrument.
There are different
tunings like e. g.
Morning Dawn etc and that
really takes a lot of
time.
THANKS FOR THE
FRIENDSHIP. MAY GOD BLESS
YOU FOR ALL YOUR GOOD
EFFORTS.
Hi there. Great songs. I
particularly like "The
Road Map." Best wishes.
Graham.
Love this type of music
and you guys do it well.
Thanks for being a fan
Leroy. Right back at ya'
my friend. "I'm so
Lonely" -- nice!
TELL EVERY ONE ABOUT
IMRadio -- Got to
thinking. What if each of
us independent musicians
told our family, friends,
fans and acquaintances
about IMRadio.com, how
besides the main
stations, it has stations
for each of the states
individually, 75
countries, and just about
every musical genre --
reaching any internet
connection around the
world. We could tell them
in person, on the
internet or at small or
large venues. Anyone we
tell would appreciate the
convenience of such good
music from independent
musicians on their
computer. It would be
such a good way to help
all of us reach even more
listeners. With IMRadio,
we aren't just waiting at
the mercy of some major
label to decide whether
or not they will let us
be heard around the
world. There are enough
of us that the outreach
could be exponential.
And, wouldn't it be a
great way to say 'thank
you' to Paddy and all of
the other fine folks who
have put IMRadio.com on
the world's musical map.
They have put in money,
time, energy and
dedication, and all they
have asked of us in
return is to upload our
music and profile. I am
sure that they have great
plans to publicize
IMRadio and bring it to
even more listeners. In
the meantime, though,
wouldn't it be great if
we could all help a
little by just taking a
little time each day to
tell family, friends,
fans and acquaintances
about IMRadio. It
wouldn't cost a dime,
just a little time.
Yours, in Musical
Solidarity, Paul.

11/4 time.
Greetings from the UK.
