Here is a rendition of Don't Mess Around with Jim by Jim Croce. This is a really fun tune to play and sing. I used a lot of palm muting for this tune to spice it up a little.

Fun. 3 chords? Did it feel odd/strange/awkward "engaging" with the video camera?

Dam! That was good Buddy. Loved the palm muting, really suits this song. Performance wise really great to see you engaging the audience. It just rounds off what was a great performance. 5 stars for this one. The singing was spot on, but that's not unusual for you.

Buddy, that was a very cool video. Very upbeat, and percussive. Great that you look at the camera. You have done a lot of good videos, but this is the one I had the most fun watching it.

HI Daryl, I think it is technically a 5 chord song :laugh: Not to weird engaging with the camera, I just imagined it was a naked audience of obese salespeople :woohoo:

Hi Buddy,

Way cool. Very well done. I enjoyed it and you were having fun even engaging the audience.

HOwdy Tom, Thanks so much for listening in on this tune. I often wonder how many great songs were never written because Jim Croce was taken in his prime.

Bud

Bob, Thanks for the comments, it is kind of odd engaging with a camera. It is a lot easier when it is a live audience.

Yes 30 is way too young Buddy. We will never know what gems were never written due to his early and tragic demise.
