Guy Who Wrote a Lullaby

Guy Who Wrote a Lullaby Guitar playing a challenge has become Have many songs you can be humming Which one will be easiest to play today God I hope will be bringing my way. Started becoming nervous complete wreck Running my fingers up and down the neck Picking out notes trying to play a tune Wife thought I was a nut and big baboon. Everyone all around was starting to see I was always awkward as could ever be And people near me really did rejoice When they didn't have to hear my voice. First thing I did do was to play a lullaby Then myself to sleep would cry and cry Woke with fingers attached to my palms Won't either be a Beethoven or a Brahms. Wasn't Brahms the guy who wrote a lullaby? James Thomas Horn Retired Veteran and Poet

funny parts in this one, James. Why are you so obsessed with keeping up with numbers here? you are always telling me about my numbers and yours and it's not something I am keeping track of, but whatever rocks your boat!!

Just want to make sure my number is not up yet and it is almost good old income tax time again and all the games we watch have numbers in them. And the stock market numbers do not look to good either. Where would we be with out numbers? Jim
