A Woman Like You

Postby frdf » 26 Nov 2011, 15:41

Hi folks,
Thought I would submit a song that I did up the guitar lead for recently. It is " A Woman Like You" done
by Johnny Reid a Canadian C&W singer and apparently written by him to his wife. He is a great singer and
wonderful performer.

I do the music for myself but hope some may enjoy this. For the purist, I have been playing "The Shadows"
music it now seems forever and have over the past year decided it is time for a change, after all I am pushing
the big 70. The BT is mine,....delay,sustain,vibrato and chorus.

Regards to all,

Very nice Fred. What guitar are you playing there? It sounds more like a Burns than a Strat to me :?

By the way. Johnnie is one of us terrible Scotsmen. He moved to Canada years ago but was born in Lanark.
There was a documentary about him and his life on the telly over there during one of my visits.
I'd never heard of him til then.
Hugh.

Thanks Hugh. Yes I purchased the strat in 1960. I guess the sound is because I use
Garageband when doing up my tunes. I find it simple and the easiest to use. I have
arthritis and find it a challenge at times especially playing chords.
Yes I was aware that Johnny Reid was from Scotland and luckily have been able to
see a couple of his concerts.

Its not good when your playing is restricted by some injury or other. I suppose its just the way it is for some of us in later years.
I could'nt play for over two years but I was fortunate that an op got it sorted and I got back on the saddle again.
I'm dreading the day it comes back again, if it does that is :?

I'm not a fan of C/W in any way but I have to say the guy has an unmistakable and interesting voice. I found his concert on the telly well worth watching when I was on holiday over there.

Thanks Fred, appreciate your comments. You can check out the following if you want to hear
the "original".

Hugh, I'm open to all kinds of music if I think it will make an interesting instrumental. Like you,
not really a C&W fan. It would be hard not to be able to play and hopefully it won't come down
to that. Thanks for comments.

Regards Fred F
