Following last week’s discussion on songs and the ones that leave powerful, emotional memories, I had this mad idea to play the guitar and sing my version of a current hit.
Mad because, I haven’t taken a guitar lesson since the 4th grade. Even madder still because the only songs I can actually play are “Kumbaya” and “Michael Row Your Boat Ashore”
So in the better interest of not making a complete dill of myself and protecting your hearing, I’ll be parking that project for a while until I teach myself some more guitar chords (preferably the ones for the song in question) and when the tips of my fingers toughen up. Ouchie…*big sulky pout*
Of course there’s one instrument that doesn’t hurt my fingers. No, not that one…Ahems.
For this week’s FYBF we’re going to play a game called “Name That Tune”
For your leisure and entertainment, I have specially picked 3 songs for you to guess.
Watch the vlog and guess the songs I’m playing.
Your answers have to have both the song title AND artist/band/movie it came from). Feel free to get creative in delivering your answers, ‘k? I’m a sucker for funny.
Email them to: grace@withsomegrace.com
The lucky winner will be receiving a little something’ from moi!
Good luck! And look forward to seeing your “Soundtrack of Life” posts!

Wow! You’re a talented musician. Can’t wait to hear the guitar. All three of those songs sound soooo familiar to me, especially the last. Will ask hubby when he wakes up.

Playing the guitar is WAY harder than it looks hey. My dad plays and tried to teach me basics and couldn’t get it, it’s on my to-do list..
(BTW, I’m HANGING to read your post below on bladder stuff but halfway writing mine for the same peeps and so will wait til I’ve written mine as I often find it easier to write without seeing how someone else wrote it – you know what I mean? )
Happy Friday and just six weeks to go….

You are very good, but I still have no idea. They sound like movie soundtracks. I have always longed to play guitar but cannot hold the chords down unless I cut my fingers nails short and I hate the feeling of short nails.

Oh my goodness! I don’t know ANY of them!! Not your playing – just need more of the song to pick it…

And musically talented as well. Is there no bounds to your talents?. I did the guitar lesson thing as a kid. I wish my mum had pushed a bit harder and not let me give up. You are lucky to have come away with two songs. I have none in my repertoire.

Beautiful playing Grace! I know the first one but not the others – have a great day!
Kirsty @ My Home Truths recently posted..I Must Confess…I’m Tired
Hey! You can play lady!! Nice one (the tunes sound so familiar… I’m going to have to keep listening otherwise it will bug me ALL DAY) and the guitar is harder than it looks. It frustrated me when i had to teach it briefly and I found it harder to pick up the chords than I’d hoped. Hence, I have not kept playing… but good luck! You seem to have a knack for musicality by the looks of this vlog!

What a great idea for a competition! Can I steal – ahem – borrow it for my blogiversary later this year?!
Off to listen again and then send an email. Hopefully. Surely I can work them out?!

Really sorry Grace no idea ! Needed a bit longer maybe like the whole song. Love you piano playing skills though. A talented lady you are !

Lady, you have beautiful hands. I’m afraid I’m really crap at guessing music, I’d have to defer to the brains trust if he were here. Nice tunes tho x

I played guitar in high school and need to get it out to play again. I only just commented recently on another blog to get out the guitar but I’ve been a bit preoccupied with pregnancy and having a bub. You play the piano beautifully!

big fail on my part – only recognised one song! But as others have said you are very talented Grace! 🙂

Grace, you’re so talented! I learnt piano when I was a kid, but have no hope now. Bell plays piano and guitar, and I’m always so impressed and a bit proud, when I hear her.
Thanks for a lovely start to the weekend xx
Lisa@RandomActsOfZen recently posted..8 Things We All Probably Need To Do More
You are awesome on the piano – recognising the first two song – how could anyone NOT know that first one in particular at the moment given that it is so cold and all! Working on the third – will listen til I get it! I reckon with your musical talent you’ll master guitar too. I played as a kid – even had lessons from the mother of famous classical guitarist Karin Schaupp – and yet I have pretty much forgotten how to play (having never been very good). PS – did you spy the pic of your boys on my post promoting Leonie Percy’s Mother Om book – hope you don’t mind. X

You play beautifully, Grace.
What a fun post! Can’t wait for the answers!
Happy Friday!

The dumpster may be put towards thee back of the building, to the side or jusat about anywhere outt of sight.
Make sure the hlme improvement contractor you pick has plenty
of in-depth detailed experience withh the specific
improvements you’re having done. For the kids,
they normally have some rather old-fashioned toys at hand, like an antique rocking
horse or such, sso that the whole effect looks wonderful.
