Gold Coast Blues (dedicated to the Golden Parachute Boys)

[MisterVirtual]

Nice!

You are truly unique.

Been enjoying your channel.

[TeamCannabis]

Lance, I like the way you think, this one's outta the box for sure. Never thought I'd hear Howard Hughes rhymed with blues, but now I guess I can die happy. Great stuff, as always and Thanks again...Reg

[archtopbrownie]

Hah - I guess that is an unusual rhyme. Gotta pity the poor rich guy who has money but still isn't happy. 'o) On the serious side I gues I'm trying to say a little about where true wealth lies ... or maybe I'm just making fun of rich folks in an indirect kind of way. Whatever, glad you are on the same page with me on this one.

[smarthouse59]

Nice song, nice guitars (both of em) and nice painting. Wouter.

WOW this is great , you should send this to a Record producer , as a Demo . I bet they'd sighn you up so fast your head would spin .

[archtopbrownie]

Thank you Larry. Finding that record producer is the trick. If you know one send me his number. :o)

[archtopbrownie]

yea, I know. 'o)

[montaramike]

These hard economic times are perfect for the blues! Suffering through my own personal economic crisis and I am afraid there is no bail-out in store for me.

Great tune!

[archtopbrownie]

May 2009 bring us all economic relief. Best of luck in the new year and thanks for the comment.

Bailing out bankers and putting up with wankers does it for me...pour me one too!

[archtopbrownie]

Make that a double Tom. Cheers.

[BradCampbell63]

Got a buddy always talking about his dream guitar (same as yours)...first time I've heard one that I'm aware of...nice toy, great performance...:)

[archtopbrownie]

Thanks Brad. I'll try to post one that features the sound of it next time.

[pattym1995]

You're hilarious! But in a good way:) Your videos always make the corners of my mouth go up too! hee hee! Congrats on your new baby...Taylor I mean lol.

[archtopbrownie]

Patty you are truly a pal. Thanks for liking my stuff. ... and the new guitar... I love it. Nothing like a new guitar to get the inspiration going. Keep pickin'.

[mikwid]

Felt my shoulders go down and the corners of my mouth go up...

[archtopbrownie]

Like your positive attitude on life. Glad I lifted your mouth corners. :o) thanks.

[grannyrock10]

Good one Lance, PRICELESS

[archtopbrownie]

Thanks Grannyrock10... appreciate you're dropping by.

[JimmyFightingBack]

Ooh. Taylor. *drools*

Anywho, awesome song Lance. Like it a lot.

[archtopbrownie]

Thanks Jimmy. Now I have no excuse. Will have to learn how to play it.  'o)

[pvail06]

Hey Lance.

Love the new guitar. Nice song.

Peter.

[archtopbrownie]

Thanks Peter. It has the expression system which I really like. Some day with the proper amplification like you have it should perform similar to your Maton set up. Now I just have to learn to play it better. Thanks for dropping by.

[dmio2]

Thanks for bringing to light the struggles of those poor slops. Its a sad thing. lol

[archtopbrownie]

Tragic, yes I know. Good thing we provide these folks a safety net in case they make a mistake. What we've got to do is get too big to fail. Catch you later and thanks for the comment.

[chickiesgrettagirl]

great tune!

[archtopbrownie]

Thanks a bunch.

[victorolden]

conk

[EdMuirton]

Sounding great Lance! Cheers!

[archtopbrownie]

Thanks Ed.

[bios36]

Just love that Blues my friend, really good and so true what ya say!!! a 5***** performance and song!

Rick

[archtopbrownie]

Thank you Rick. Thank you. We're kindred spirits. :o)

[ruotze]

i used to live on Winona and Marina Drive, right by the Foster Beach,...i thought i was sittin on top of the world!...didn't know a decade in Europe was YET to come (that's when the FUN started)

[archtopbrownie]

You'll have to revisit Chicago some day. I keep thinking you live here.... I know, you're far away.

[ruotze]

If i do Lance,..i'll surely give you a heads up so i can take a peek into your WORLD!

[archtopbrownie]

Okee Dokee. :o)

[Boucrate]

In my rambling young folk singer I got to go out with a few rich daughters,and I understood after meeting their families why Psychiatrists made a lot of money! lol! Though I hate smoking the old buts of my ahstray, strange I don't envy them! :-)!

[Jazzguts]

Hi Lance excellent Blues and nice in between riffing,guitar sounds great,that Dobro (nice and solid sound) ,Guess those golden parachutes are dragging them down real hard,what do you think Lance? this financial depression is,Killing us softly,lol Greets Vic.

[archtopbrownie]

Killing us softly Hah! Not nearly so sweet. Thanks for the great arrangements. Working on Killing me softly. It's going to take a while but what a beautiful job you did on both the arrangements. Thanks so much Victor. You are a true friend.

[Boucrate]

Great job on this one again! Excellent blues. These poor rich peoples. Hey if they want to learn to sky dive without a parachute, I give crash courses, cheap! lol! Merci!

[archtopbrownie]

Now now... sounds a lot like class warfare to me. Funny how they use that term on us when we resist. I happen to have a lot of wealthy folks around and I can assure you being crazy is totally unrelated to how much money you have. Man some of these folks with money are really squirrelly. So why is it they should run everything? I guess it's because we can't buy anybody. You know the definition of an honest politician here in Chicago don't ya? == When he's bought he stays bought.

[archtopbrownie]

From the looks of your channel you have an artistic eye. Thanks for dropping by.

[archtopbrownie]

Many thanks. As always, appreciated. :o)

[bigbeninjax]

Don't know about you, Lance, but I got the "Don't know when to get the hell out

because of the Bail-out" blues.....sure wish I had me one of dem Golden Parachutes.

[archtopbrownie]

How about giving them a real parachute made out of gold and throwing them out of an airplane?

[bigbeninjax]

It would certainly cost less!

[dennise7star]

LOL!! You are killing me...LMAO:)

A

[strat2caster]

very clever, some folks have the best problems eh? diggin' Reso and the Taylor too! *****

[archtopbrownie]

Thanks Strat. As long as I keep it simple I'm OK. :o)

[coolanddark]

terrific song!nice sounding guitar!very cool blues!

[archtopbrownie]

Coming from a songwriter of your caliber... very nice, very nice. thanks.

[dennise7star]

Lance...Your brilliant!:) I'm not sure if I wanna laugh or cry...

Alena (Dennise's mom)

[archtopbrownie]

Laugh! By all means laugh. It is a great coping mechanism. Thanks for commenting.

[archtopbrownie]

Cool having a friend all the way over in Romania. Thanks for sending such a supportive comment. Ciao!

[RankAndFileGuy]

Real good song.

[archtopbrownie]

Hey Rankandfile Haven't heard from you in a while. Thanks for dropping by.

[daligoddess2006]

Hahaha! Good one. I'm almost in tears.

[archtopbrownie]

I know it is a sad song but you needn't shed tears. It is tough but, not to worry, the rich will survive. 'o)

[Qpidon]

Beautifull tune, beautifull guitar(!!!) beautifully edited, but that guy that sings....??hmmmm....

Pascal ;-))

[archtopbrownie]

Yea... ain't he ugly? Thanks for dropping a comment Pascal. Went to see Tommy Emmanuel... you don't play as well as he does. Almost but not quite. 'o) That's like being almost as smart as Stephen Hawking... not bad, not bad.

[Qpidon]

The only guy I know that plays better than Tommy is....Tommy, oh well ;)

Quit an experience to see hime Live, no?!

Pascal

P.S. 2time listening...wonderfull stuff buddy.

[archtopbrownie]

Third time seeing him. He blows me away every time. I would think it impossible if I hadn't seen it and heard it with my own eyes and ears. This time he did medleys of his well known stuff early on to make room for new things later in the show. Heard a lot I had never heard before. Great.

Thanks for giving a second listen. Feel like I'm moving back into some songwriting again. I've been doing other things. Nothing like an new guitar to give one inspiration. Ciao!

[jimmys511]

It must be hard to be rich,you have to be sympathetic.LOL another good one lance

[archtopbrownie]

Thanks Jimmy... first comment honors go to you. :o)
