Last night, I sat down at the Keyboard after hearing an instrumental recording of the same song on another forum. Though she did a great job of it, I've always found this particular song demanded vocals.

The next step was find a style that I liked, then give it a try. Problems set in with my deteriorating lungs, so I had to take a couple whiffs of Albuterol followed by some Jim Bean Honey Bourbon on the rocks. Both are great medications, at least for me.

Here's my rendition of Mariah

You did a good job on this one Gary; hope you can remain strong enough to keep on singin'!

Thanks old friend, and I'm working on getting stronger by climbing on the recumbent bike every day for peddling a mile, then working out with light weight arm weights at 100 reps per arm every evening.

Hope to get the boat in the water early next week, then motor 22 miles to another marina for some much needed repairs, new rub rails, fibglass gel coat touch up, new cutlass bearing anchor bolts, and with luck, find that damned cabin top leak that is a PITA every time it rains. Been trying to find the leak source for 3 years, but so far, it has eluded me. The marina says they can find it and fix it. I said I would pay them an extra $500 if they could do it.

Thanks again for listening and commenting,

Gary

Gary. We had similar leak in our MotorHome...The entry point is never where you think it is !!!

Graham, the big problem with boats is there are a huge number of things attached to the cabin top with bolts and screws holding them in place. If just one of those 300 or more screws wasn't properly caulked during installation, that tiny opening allows lots of water to enter the space between the inner and outer hull, which can be a problem with mold formation if not fixed. So far, no mold, but lots of water seeping in.

Keeping my fingers crossed,

Gary

Gary ... just keep that 'wind' up ... and keep 'em comin' ...

I'm doing my best, Tony. Today has been a bit difficult, but I look at life this way. Every day is a good day, just some days are much better than others.

Thanks for listening and commenting,

Have truer words EVER been spoken ? ... If only we could all live with that sentiment ... None of us has any idea as to what the next second is going to bring ... age is not the determining factor in how or how long we are going to live ...
Live as best you can ...

Nice job Gary....keep it up.

Nice tune, clean vocals, good instrument selection . Keep em’ coming Gary.,
