WHEN YOU ARE IN NEED OF A LITTLE EXPRESSION WHAT DOES IT FOR YOU?
I have to say that when I’m in a mood, and I get in moods. Just ask anyone, there is nothing that works better for me than listening to some beautiful guitar music. Turn up the volume ans let it envelop me. Using the breaks with the amazing riffs help work the cobwebs of life out of my head every time.
On Saturdays I will typically listen to the guitar God him self EPIC CLAPTON in particular. We have had a regular Saturday date for most of my adult life. He plays while I work, and I turn it up the audio LOUD.
But today it’s David Gilmore and his acoustic folksy version of “Wish You Were Here” kind of mood. It’s his acoustic version of his Pink Floyd’s tune by the same title. It is the medicine I need right now. No offense Clapton. There is something about the clustering of these of chords, and the way that Gilmore plays off of them into his improv riffs that rips into the soul. Some days its just best to sit down and let yourself be taken away by the music, the playing. Let it do its thing.
Did I say that I am a big fan of guitar music? Anything with strings actually. Love violin music too. But I have definite tastes and that tend to run acoustic. But I love some good electric riffs to as I said…. Eric Clapton is Epic Clapton and what is not to love about him? But there are times when something else was needed. Music tends to be like that, Very emotional based are music choices made I believe.
I am blessed that I have a great collection of music. I have been collecting it for 45 yrs. I also am very lucky that I have a great Music Maestro in my life who is constantly teaching me new things. i am not sure he will agree with my choice for today but that is what teaching involves. New music. And continually building my collection. thank you

Great vid btw forgot to mention 🙂 I can also play this on my guitar!! 😛
IHi Renee, thanks for commenting. I am not surprised you can play Wish You Were Her i since you are picking up (fast) on Shine on you Crazy Diamond. Both are such pieces of music. and both are great favorites of mine. One day maybe we can hear you too.
RecordedRenee, That should be your demo tapes title. — just for fun.
I have started my day Pink and what a great way to start any day ~
Haha yes I should tape it on vid some time and post it on my blog!… 😉
That’s what I am saying! I’d be there to see it/ I am impresed with your bio- it would be awesome to see you at play. I think others would too.
Just saying ~ 😉
Oh, BB, this is one of my favorite-ever guitar songs, and his voice is so haunting — weird to see this balding man, though. Thanks so much for playing this!
Hey Jude, thanks for sayining so,
I love that this version of David Gilmore (was out to lunch when commenting here) and him grown older, grown up.. I don;t know.I just love how his voice chnaged, and how he changed the music. I love how he grew older too.
I just love everything about the feeling of him, and this video gives. He is in the running for number against Clapton, but the Epic Clapton will alwyas come out on top
I shot the sherriff at the crossroads and took the Badge, and Layla. had a Spoonful of Sunshine of your love’ while visiting pressed rat and warthogs shop..

I forgot to say; You’re on! 😉
I can only smile broadly, My lady 😉
Now I know Glimore is not Epic, but he pretty good. Entertaining to watch,…
…… love the way he makes his guitar gently weep.
It’s always such a delight to find you have
visited my m kind Sir,&
Hope you come back soon.
Love acoustic guitar. Love this post. Very soothing music.
Thank you Rith. i feel the same way about both, acoustic music and this tune. Two different styles between Gilmore and Clapton, but both bring something to the soul.
Thanks so much for viisting ~ BB
Eric: Les did I tell you you looked wonderful last night.
Les: Eric did I mention that I wish you were here
Eric: Well next time I am in town what don’t we have dinner
Les: Okay but not if you arrive after midnight
Eric: Don’t blame me, you know I run on faith
Les: Well, I told you for the last time
🙂 Me and Eric are tight too BB and have been for years
Blinf Faith…. He says…Blind Faith Love!
Les, I know we are kindred sisters fighting over the same Eric now. All these years of him looking so Wonderful Tonight in his black shiny car and we, you & I- knowing.
Some will have no clue
Kind of missed him on my Saturday…
😀 yup
