No worries about the tab. Kevin.

I think the moral of the story is that you (and all other TARGET TG-ers) shouldn't worry about posting videos-- no matter what level you're at. I agree that posting your first video is a nerve wracking experience. But as you (and all others that went before you) have found-- there is nothing but positive reinforcement and advice for improvement from other viewers. No one will cut you down.

Looking forward to your next video!

So right Al.Thanks again.

A few people have said this was the first they'd heard of this song. Here's copy of the original that I found on youtube. Unfortunately I couldn't find Croce singing it live.




Time In A Bottle lyrics
Songwriters: Croce, Jim;

If I could save time in a bottle
The first thing that I'd like to do
Is to save every day 'til eternity passes away
Just to spend them with you

If I could make days last forever
If words could make wishes come true
I'd save every day like a treasure and then
Again, I would spend them with you

But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do once you find them
I've looked around enough to know
That you're the one I want to go through time with

If I had a box just for wishes
And dreams that had never come true
The box would be empty except for the memory
Of how they were answered by you

But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do once you find them
I've looked around enough to know
That you're the one I want to go through time with

Thanks Willem for helping me put this on.And if i can get the tab off to Al Im sure he can send you a copy.And if he cant you bet i will find away.Even i got to bottle it and send it by wave.You made me laugh with the look on the beach thing. Thank Kevin
