Glimmer Of Hope, from an inspiring Soul

Post by tytlblues »

A song recorded as a collab with a friend of mine, a great blues singer Debbie Deijkers, a Dutch vocalist who I posted a recording here on 12bar way back. She battles some terrible, chronic health issues, and she wrote this song to my playing, on a ubiquitous Fritts backing tracks. It's called glimmer of hope, an original of hers. We have done many tracks together, and she is a wonderful, positive, and inspiring soul!

The spirit of some people in extreme adversity is incredible - what you say certainly puts Debbie into that category.

Electrifying singing and it highlights how good your guitar playing style is that you can do this sort of collab as equal partners musically. :pray: :clap:

Nothing more to say - a fantastic voice meets a screaming soulful guitar. I've visited her channel on SC, many great collabs there. :pray:
I wish her all the best.

You are very well together so I will probably see you as a couple in the musical world from now on.

BigMammaDee, it is admirable lyrics. You also have a voice that I think you have complete control over.

Tytl. You play safely and quickly. You have developed very musically where you been recently.

Yes. You are a couple in the world of music for me in the future. In my similitude of is not possible to separate you.
