BTW - Give "Not Quite Right" a listen. Bad video (sorry), but it has has a very strong Faces influence!

"I would but it's just me?"...

Hey, we don't care! Quite a few of the forum members are, or have been, musicians. It's great to hear their comments and works!

[Dukabor]

heh...thanks man...I would but it's just me?...maybe I'll post an acoustic version of it?...heh.."Artless Codgers" fitting if I submit! Steve has a Face's sense of humor!

[artfuldodgersite]

That's great!

Feel free to head out to the band's web page and submit it to the "Artless Codgers" section (a pun on Artful Dodger - Steve Brigida AD drummer had that name put on his bass drum head when they started the reunion shows). We love to hear it!

hey artful..this video actually inspired me to finally learn to play "True Blue"..always thought it was Woodsy with open tuning..but it's really E..C#m..A..F#m..you guys do it great! I take out my Tele and put the fuzzbox on...well...sounds pretty Faces good!..the dog likes it...I think? Makes him want to go outside...which is good...then the kids want to go outside too...which is great?...cause I'm sick of hearing "death cab for cutie" and so is the dog...heh

[Dukabor]

I will check it out man..."Too Bad" (even if audio only)...once again a very underrated Faces song...thanks for the posts and responses! Listening to True Blue and "Girl la la la" right now...great!

[artfuldodgersite]

Rough???!!!...You're too kind, these videos almost require the use of Dramamine!

Now I know why people use tripods - LOL! Unfortunately, the recent show wasn't video recorded, but I have a really good live version of "Too Bad" (audio only)from a previous show they did.  If I can come up with some kind of video for it, I'll get it up here. Thanks again for all your comments, it's appreciated!

[Dukabor]

you did a great job capturing video of them...and in true Faces style it should be a little rough?..HA...but I can hear them playing and that's some really good stuff...they shouldn't be honored by me...I'm not worthy!! But as a true Faces fan they do it justice...
