I got a Roy Rogers guitar with song book for Christmas in 1958. I learned a little and put it aside. In '63 a kid brought his electric guitar to school and played "Pipeline" at our sock hop. It looked easy, so I started a garage band. Eventually, I needed money for gas and dates, so I got a real job. We disbanded in '66, but best friend, Freddie, and I kept jamming over the years. We recently worked on a song he wrote and it inspired me to write my own music. Please listen and post a message.

Story behind the song
Sitting by the window watching the storm, eating and sleeping and waking up to the storm. Tropical Storm Fay, duration 56 hours. Not including the 2 days of cleaning up storm debris.
Lyrics
V1 Storm clouds from the tropics they say this one?s big enough To turn into a hurricane and blow away my stuff Weatherman says get ready, the wind?s about to blow Even in the sunshine state there?s cloudy days you know Chorus It?s time to batten down the hatches get ready for the storm I sure am glad we?re inside where it?s dry and warm (1) I know I haven?t told you, I have a small confession (2) In case you haven?t noticed, I?m making a concession (3) I?d like you to see you?ve made quite an impression (1) There?s nowhere else I?d rather spend a tropical depression (2) There?s no one else I?d rather have in a tropical depression (3) You?re the one that got me through my tropical depression V2 Watch the trees sway to and fro they?re doing the wind dance Rain drops hit the window while the storm clouds advance Pour another drink while we?re waiting for the sun I?ll play a song on my guitar until the storm is done Chorus V3 Go get the flashlight, the power?s just gone out I?ll fire up the Coleman and the sleeping bag?s rolled out Camping out inside the house, oh baby ain?t this fun We?ll hunker down and party on until the storm is gone Chorus

Nice job, Butch! :) This one brought a smile to my face, although a tropical storm is really NOT funny, LOL! Nice guitar picking in the solo, too. :)
