I haz a favor to ask
My brother wrote and recorded this song a few years back. He just found out he has a neurological disorder and fears losing his ability to play guitar and sing. (I hope that will not happen, but whatever).

Anyhow, if you could find it in your hearts to make his day as I am taking him for tests Thursday, please like his youtube vid.

His name is Jesse




and he's way cool

3. In case you hadn't noticed I really enjoy shattering the illusions of strangers' artistic ambitions
But I can't do it with that clip because I genuinely liked it.

Really.

40. Thanks, redwitch
When we lived at home during our teens and early 20's, the phone never stopped ringing at it was always some girl wanting to talk to him. That picture of him was taken at a Thanksgiving dinner we volunteered at and he was swarmed by giggling 50 year olds. Pathetic.

I have to travel on the subway with him to Boston tomorrow. I guarantee he will make at least 5 friends on the 15 minute ride. Always the performer. LOL.

81. I hit "like" but not sure if it "took."
You don't have to sign in first, do you? There was some tasty guitar in the song too.

Your brother is a good looking man. I didn't know there were any good looking older guys around, since whenever I see men in my age range, they look like 'old guys.'

82. You did me the favor. That was great. Reminded me of Earl Thomas Conley.
I could hear the Leon Russel and Kris Kristofferson comparison, too. He's got a richly complex voice like all three of those. I could see buying a CD of songs like that one.

Make sure to show him this thread. After trying about sixty hundred times to remember my Youtube name and password, I had to give up or risk hurling my monitor at the floor. So, to save the floor, I will give my rec here.

BTW, here's the Conley song I thought of. It doesn't in any way sound like your brother's, but the voice and vocal style made me think of it.

84. Wow, that is a huge compliment. I love Conley!
Jess is the only person on the planet who refuses to own a computer. I will have to take my laptop and bring him to Panera's so he can see this. He knows, but he has no idea how much attention he's gotten from DUers. It's so amazing.
