@TheGravygun Thanks for the nice comments,...... I think. For me, TTF is the hardest song to play. I just can never get the picking style that Stills uses. He is the master.
@BRANDONPICKENS27 Thank you my friend. Can't seem to get this song out of my head lately. I'm trying to learn to play it better. But no one plays it like Stills.
Arizona is a bit far indeed. Oshkosh truly is like a dream come true for me. My friend Matt, an airline pilot for Mesaba, and I were toying with the idea of flying in tandem to the show this year but I think funding is gonna be short on my end. I'll still happily make the drive though! Hopefully you can make it back one of these years and join your flying brethren! Great flying weather in AZ though, I would imagine?
@azcharlie2009 It certainly is pricey :( tell me about your flying history! How long have you been in aviation? Always pleased to meet another pilot! Hope all is well on your end, Rick!
@64wing I've been flying since around 1980. I currently own a 79 Piper Archer. I'd like to sell it, but no one wants for buy anything anymore. So, I'll just keep it and fly when I can. My mother passed away last Sept. and I flew back to Iowa from Tucson for the funeral. That was an interesting flight and a long way in a small plane. Just recently flew around the Galiuro mtns east of here with a buddy looking for good deer hunting spots this fall. Take care
@azcharlie2009 My condolences for the loss of your mother, may she rest in God's eternal peace. My instructor and I used to spot deer from the plane during my training. I have only been flying for a handful of years myself. Quit football my senior year of high school to work another job so I could pay for the whole rigmarole. I'm coming up on 21 years of age, but it's always been in my blood. You ever make it up to Oshkosh for the big EAA show in July? It sure is a hoot!
@64wing Well, if you're that young,, 21. You have a long time to save up your money so you can afford to own something later on in life. Just be patient. Yes, I've been to Oshkosh many times. Since I've moved to AZ, it's a bit too far to go back for. But, I used to go every year when I lived in Iowa. Oshkosh was one of my favorite things to do. I am probably one of the few lucky people who have actually flown into the event. Now, it's tough to do that. It's usually full!
Boy, I have to admire your chutzpah! Taking on not only a dificult song to sing but also one used to show Stills' vertuosity with the six string, which you couldn't hope to match. But you did passably and cetainly get an A for effort.
@robertfallsmusic Thank you so much for the kind comment. Gosh, I love that song. I've been playing it a lot again lately. Glad you liked it and thank you for stopping by.
Wow, you really smoked this song. Your singing is even great. Usually it annoys me when people cover certain artists, Stills being a perfect example of someone that no-one else should attempt, but this is so true sounding. Beautiful. You oughtta do it again with some reasonable recording equipment. Kudos.
@Maat922 Thanks for the nice comments. Yes, Stills has a unique voice. When I was younger, I always wanted a voice just like his. But, if you've heard him lately, I'm glad I don't!!! Thanks for watching.
Wicked nice - I'm trying to learn this one since it's one of my favorite songs from Stills. You make me think you have some experiences I would love to hear about sometime, hehe - what kinda plane do you run now? I was down in Tucson checking out PIMA and drooling over all those birds I only virtually fly.
@btz511 Well, thank you. I have heard several other versions of the song that are more bluesy, if that's a word, that I like better. Someday I'd like to do one more like those. I do fly, but not like that. I have a small Piper Archer. Four place single engine, fixed gear, fixed prop. Plenty of trouble for me to get into. And, yes, Pima Air Museum is really cool. I also do a lot of virtual flying. Believe it or not, that is a great help for mastering instrument flying. Thanks again!
@azcharlie2009 url not werking for me - if you like flight sims, do you have Rise of Flight? WW1 stuff, fun unless you hose the take off and bugger your plane like I frequently due - torque issues - haha
@btz511 Sorry. I spelled it wrong. it's acesaero.com. Ned has some great videos here on youtube also, if you like avation stuff. Don't have rise of flight. Just have FSX and use it quite often to keep sharp on the gages.
Nice, I liked it alot.
