Familiar Blues

Post by HalfBlindLefty »

My youngest on is besides herself, a friend decided to quit and stepped out of life.
I can tell you it influences a parents feeling.

So I took the easy way out and played a for me familiar Blues song once again.

Played with feeling and I can well understand why. Your guitars understand how you feel on this I think.

It's a terrible thing to happen and these sort of things do make it very tough being a parent - it's very easy to end up feeling helpless in these situations.

I hope your youngest manages to come to some sort of terms with it all soon.

OMG, I don't even want to think about it. Don't know what I would do then.

What a ghastly situation HBL ... and how dreadful for all concerned, family and friends...... and indeed your own daughter.

I do hope some form of counselling is available at the school/ college. This wil be a tough time for a lot of people.

Lovely piece of music - thanks for posting :thumbsup: Just so sad it was trggered by such an awful situation.
How sad life can be sometimes.

Of course you can call the track what you wish .......but just a pointer, the version of "to" you are using is the wrong one in this context
Its should be "too"

Thanks for the kind words guys.

It is something where you have to doublecheck each and every answer to a question.
How about : "Some say it was selfish of him to take his own life ? " Think it over...
My way of answering that one was by pointing out at least two views. There is no one single answer to such a question.
For starters think of his situation ,the train driver, his kin etc.

I don't think counceling is in order Strummer, Even my youngest one already had her share of losses. He wasn't a real close friend, but close enough.
Besides In my youth I had some training in how to handle situations like this, the method still works.
Tomorrow may be a difficult day again (funeral).

I'll keep a close eye.

To myself it's a deja vu. back when my son was 16 we both had to fetch a girl from the rails. I still believe back then it was a cry for help in stead of a genuine attempt. Anyway, last monday night I fetched her again and again, at least a dozen time. At least I got her every time.



At least friday evening I have a rehearsal scheduled, so I can play it out.
