Rachel is doing well post transplant, but we are still pretty consumed with labs, doctor visits, etc. Also trying to get all caught up with my doctor visits I have been putting off for the past year. I had some time to write this one recently. It's a tongue-in-cheek one about how "friendly" everyone is on Youtube and Facebook these days. I hope you get a chuckle out of it. All the instruments on this one are Realtracks. Soundcloud - The YouTube Blues The YouTube Blues ©Stephen W. Young Last Saturday night, I had nothing to do So I decided to watch some YouTube I was looking to find the fountain of youth Or a scientific breakthrough But forget what I saw on the videos The most inticing thing I found Was written in the comments section below Where wisdom does abound You can see the dazzling intellect In this massive game of words Even Socrates and Plato Would be fighting to be heard I read that I would burn in hell If I don't vote the way that he does It's a nasty brawl, a free for all Where they all take off their gloves You can be right. You can be wrong You can be anything. You can bring it on Get ready for a fight. You're coming on too strong 'Cause you lose a good thing, when the good is gone Youtube got me so intense, I thought I'd take a look at Facebook At least there I know I've got some friends And with luck, I might even find a cookbook I can see the latest photographs Maybe read a poem or two With peace and love, I could look above All the bad things people do But apparantly those fighting folks On Youtube have all joined Facebook So here we go again, my friends It's time we understood You can be right. You can be wrong You can be anything. You can bring it on Get ready for a fight. You're coming on too strong 'Cause you lose a good thing, when the good is gone ======= RealTracks used...

I like the spoken word approach to this—a little Charlie Daniels vibe to it . . . and then kicking into that great vocal in the chorus (nice light touch on the harmonies there). Lead guitar resonates—perfect! Great stuff! All my best, Deej

Made me consider posting a song here which I wrote about two years ago featuring the problems I have with those big data companies (X-Rayed). A very, very good job!

You've made up for lost time, Steve, and welcome back! Great vocals (spoken and sung) and band as always. The transitions from the spoken word to the singing are so smooth and the key changes are very effective. A fun and most engaging listen(s)!
