Thanks so much for your really kind words. It was a fun little "challenge" for me on a rainy, cold Friday morning. The fact that Bruce's version was actually pretty lame (no offense, Mr. Springsteen) made it a lot easier for me to just write something up and not feel like it needed to be "awesome." I'd encourage more people to just have a go at it. It shouldn't take you long (I probably devoted about an hour and a half to the whole thing- from the writing to the filming), so it's something any of us can do. And it's fun to do something creative. Plus, the nice thing about writing your own song is that no one knows if you mess up the lyrics, or the solo, or the melody or the progression or, or........
Tony, I signed up for a blues class that is through the university's continuing education program. It's an evening class for adults, meets once per week for 1 1/4 hours each time. It's an 8 week class. I've had 5 classes so far and learned quite a bit. I just took a basic 12 bar blues progression in A and worked with that. I kept it really easy, as I'm sure you can tell.
Again, I'm just really glad everyone enjoyed this. Can't wait to see what everyone else contributes!!
