Maybe there is someone who would like to listen to my song for Brian …
Sorry, but I wasn`t able to convert the whole song.
Yor can find the full song here:

T & R – A song for Brian”

Well, on weekends and all other days
My baby ‘s with her mum
I active practice melodies ……

—————–

It is early Friday evening
I’m sitting here and wait
“Ey, man” my angry baby shouts
Did you forget our date

It is true, it’s true, I forgot it
But so sorry I will stay and have to fight
Why don’t you call for your lovely mum
and spent a ladies night

Excited staring at the promising screen
A hard week, done, no peace
And all I just can think about
Is tension and release (T & R)

You learn B-flat, you know C-sharp
Make small steps, keep your frets
Then you’ll get light bulbs more and more
His sidebars: your front door

Your thumb says “go”, your pinky “no”
Try hammer ons, built chords
Your steel strings shiver, kinda cheer
your mind clears up, oh dear

—————–

When I´m studying the triads
even all the shapes
My baby ´s fine, she ´s with her mum
so I don´t really care
There are lots of different rhythms
Jazz and funky styles
Oh Daddy, Daddy, Daddy, Daddy
I could cry

On weekends and all other days
I deadly can´t get bored
So many songs, so many tricks
All these incredible licks

Well, on weekends and all other days
My baby ‘s with her mum
I active practice melodies
Come, Brian, let’s go on
Hey, Brain, lets go on ….

You’re quite the songwriter Norbert , I’m guessing Brian will get a kick out of this, I certainly Did! Haha
Rob

[Norbert]

Thanks Kubrider, it´s all about getting the kick …… 😉

[Garry]

Very clever Norbert! Adding all those phrases and key words, I reckon Brian would be chuffed! Well done and all the best!

[Norbert]

Thanks for the compliment, Garry. I tried to do my best (without producing too many incomprehensible idioms). Ciao N.

[AndréM]

Very funny composition.
Brian should get a good laugh from it.

[Norbert]

This is really what I intended: make some laughs. Thanks André ……

[Richard G]

Entertaining Norbert, I enjoyed the melody which definitely had a certain ‘St James Infirmary’ about it.

Richard

[Norbert]

Not only “St. James”, Richard, but also ………

I am very curious to see if anyone will discover that. It may not be that easy because xy’s voice is very different from mine. (I never ever will get such a dark and scratchy voice; can´t drink and smoke that much the rest of my days. (Which doesn´t mean that …xy…. smokes and drinks. I don´t know that much about him. Just a few songs ….
Thanks, Richard

[Anonymous]

Very creative Norbert…well done!

[Norbert]

Sometimes it works: then the words just line up like that.
Thanks, Ivan …..

[Lights]

Great funny lyrics, Norbert! And also very funny couplet style preformance.
Lights.

[Norbert]

Hi Lights,

You should have seen my performance from a day before. Very serious and tense. Very ….
But after I decided to play no introduction, no licks in between and no harmonized triads at the end, it was just a lot of fun for me….

[Juxi]

Hallo Norbert, I enjoyed this very much and had to laugh several times during your performance! Great song! 👍🏽😊

Bluesige Grüße
Juxi

[Norbert]

Hi Juxi,

we might have a similar kind of (German) humor.
I like your “New Strings – Story”. Better embarrassed for a brief moment then never playing the guitar anymore …..
Mach´s gut!

[Enrico]

Ah ah that was brilliant Norbert! Very fun lyrics and a great tune! 🤣🤣🤣

[Norbert]

Thanks Enrico,
Glad you enjoyed it.
I hope the weather in Ireland gets a little better.
Did you notice that the picture in the background shows the cliffs of Mizen Head?

[Dieter]

Very nice playing.

Dieter

[Michael K]

My favorite line:
Then you’ll get light bulbs more and more
His sidebars: your front door

[Norbert]

:-))

Thanks Michael

[JoeD1]

Well that was enjoyable!

Joe

The sight of a touch, or the scent of a sound,
Or the strength of an Oak with roots deep in the ground.
--Graeme Edge

[Norbert]

The oak tree will sway, the sound will resound.
I may sing the song once more.

Thanks, Joe

I think you did a great job with your song. I enjoyed it.

[Norbert]

Thanks, Bjen

[Brian]

Wow, I missed this one. I’m honored! Thank you so much Norbert!

[Norbert]

It was a real pleasure for me to write a few lines for my very welcome “living room guest at my home,” who has been checking in almost daily for many years…
“Keep it up” and thank you, Brian
