Letter From War (Live!)
What do you do when your down? You grab a guitar, get a few buddies, and get up and play.
We did not Have a Lead Guitar Player, I called Gilmour but he could not make the flight...
First song on my page... Peace.

Thanks Lace and Sam!
I posted the lyrics on the song page, I wrote the song some time ago. The guys playing on it I go way back with, I have known the rhythm section since I was five .
It's one of those things where we all know what we are going to do before we play it. I think our brains are synchronized aftyer years of playing together. Its nice to play with others, as I have been recording everything myself for the last five years.
"Letter from War" was an idea I had and I had played it for a few years before "Saving Private Ryan" came out. There is a sequence in the movie about a Letter written to home, and it is picked up from the ground..bloodied from war. As I watched it I said... "Hey, Letter from War" This live track is missing the Lead Guitar part as another good friend could not make it, Dave Austin. He plays on my song "Real". The guitar parts fill out the song nicely and have a ver distict "Gilmour" sound. Oh well we make do with what we have. I think it came out pretty good. Its nice to receive applause :)
Maybe I will get out and play more, I have been thinking about playing any coffee house that would have me for free..... course that probably won't happen. :) I have my Son to play with and I have a backlog of tunes to record. Oh yea, I have my Day Job as well. :)
Thanks to all who listened to the song, and thanks to my good friends here who sent encouraging messages after my Mom passed after the New Year. You are special people.
Regards, and Peace.
Jeff
