Have you ever heard of the German traits of suffen-joyfen and joyfen-suffen? It's a genetic propensity of those of Germanic or Norwegian descent to feel pain when others succeed or experience joy when others suffer -it's very tongue in cheek but the Germans I know all exhibit and admit to this. I've picked up on this trait - and so when I see you playing guitar like a magic man and effortlessly and simultaneously singing like a angel - I get suffen-joyfen: your success makes me wish I could too
@IslamisWar You know, I haven't specifically heard that version, but since I am Jewish, I have also inherited a number of traits (or learned them) and experience guilt and envy, like you. So I can totally relate. And I want to thank you for your honesty in sharing that and for your kind words about my playing. I wish you tons of success brother and I know that you rock in your own way.
its been awhile since ive commented on any of your videos. You are still very good at what you do and i enjoy listening to your songs. take care my friend.
Hi Santamara! Nice to hear from you. I haven't been sharing much these days, so busy teaching here in Jakarta and .... as you know, getting ready for 12/12 (Dec 12 wedding). Things are going so great and I'm really excited. I will have so much more to sing about very soon. I will definitely add you as a friend but won't have too much time to record. Thanks though for always coming by and we always think of you when we post videos! ;)
Wow that is awesome!! What great talents you have El!! You should be a recording star with that beautiful voice and fantastic guitar playing!! I wish I was even half as good as you! :) You can really play and it's beautiful to listen to. You have a great charm about you too,great personality! Makes us feel happy and good to watch you perform! Great song too! All the best for you always my bro! :))
Hey buddy! Great to hear from you and thanks for the sentiment. I'm glad you made it out alive from your Navy experiences and you are back doing what you love, playing music. I will be checking in with your videos in a bit, my internet connection is really slow. But just glad to meet you and keep on rocking my friend.
Hey fastgroove, thanks a lot! I forgot one of the verses at the end, darn it. But I really appreciate your comment. And yes, I do have the Ovation still.
Renato, you are a very kind man and I sincerely appreciate how supportive you are. I will try to keep posting videos and in next summer, me and my beautiful indonesian wife-to-be will be in Canada setting up our music studio ... so there will be more videos for sure.
Hi Santamara! Thanks for your kind words, I was hoping you would come by and watch. Yes, everything is going great. I've been very busy teaching at the new school here in Jakarta so much less time to record videos. But all is well and it is great to hear from you again.
Hey Rick, thanks buddy. Since I'm out here in Jakarta, I don't have my studio so I am recording on a laptop and have less time (haha, and energy) to record. But all is going great so hopefully there will be more songs in the future. Come to think of it, with this Indonesian experience, I will have plenty of inspiration for originals. Thanks for the ongoing support, pal.
No kidding, John. I find myself constantly stuck in that old music and not appreciating (enough) the music from today. Would like to find a balance. Thanks for watching buddy.
Hey man, I wondered when I'd hear from you. ;) Things are fine, Indo is an amazing place, watch a change from my life in Canada. Hope you are doing ok and thanks for coming by, dude.
Haha, you are so right. I have a bunch of batik and other styles and I just love them. Really like indo fashion. Things are just fine here, it has taken a lot for my Canadian system to adjust to Indo but I am doing good. Great to hear from you and thanks for watching. :)
VERY good. Thanks for helping me remember that song. You make it look easy.
