this was the year i went to GIT, 87 to 88. And it was the first time I saw RF play. So I guess I was at this show!

Good stuff!

A few fixes (listening to the live version on Soul on Ten):

> You say you're happy with ********* (ad-hoc'er priest?)
"an 'ain't hard to please'"

> a dreary future seems to drag on for a year

"a day with you just seems..."

> Didn�t care the first time maybe get it on ten

"Didn't get it the first time, maybe get it on ten"

>Didn�t care the first time maybe get it on ten

as above

I think other instruments bring out the real flavor of Robben's guitar tone. Harmonica, played by Andy Just and Mark Ford, adds distinct flavor and influences what is heard beyond what is coming out of Robben's amp. Hearing Robben play live, or on a recording with either of these great harmonica players, is what I consider my favorite RF tone.

Line 3 could be: "You say you're happy that ain't hard to please"

Line 6: "A day with you seems to drag on for years"

Line 15: "Didn't get it the first time maybe get it on ten"

This is all I could discern...

I'm not saying I am the best I could be
Not playing that "oh hey look at me"
You say you're happy with ********* (ad-hoc'er priest?)
But for you I'm too much

The games you play could turn a drop into tears
a dreary future seems to drag on for a year
I think of you and I think just one more beer
cause for you I'm too much

You sure get happy when they�re looking at you
Playing the part from the start
You get me thinking what I might like to do
And then you leave me back here in the dark

I�m not going back to headache again
You say you love me but only as your friend
Didn�t care the first time maybe get it on ten
But for you I'm too much

You sure get happy when they�re looking at you
Playing the part from the start
You get me thinking what I might like to do
And then you leave me back here in the darkness darkness

I�m not going back to headache again
You say you love me but only as your friend
Didn�t care the first time maybe get it on ten
But for you I'm too much
But for you I'm too much too much

But for you I'm too much

The games you play could turn @@@@ into tears
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Didn�t care the first time maybe @@@@@@
But for you I'm too much
But for you I'm too much too much

I saw Larry Carlton about a month ago at Yoshi's in San Francisco and, yes, he was playing through a Bludotone amp.

Didn't both Robben and Larry pick up a Bludotone recently.
I think it's what Larry uses live now. No info on Robbens Bludo.

I'd heard that Larry had but hadn't heard about Robben. I always wondered, since Bludotone's are clones, if Larry would be "on the outs" with HAD. Anyone know Mr.D's policy on that?

Hi All,

I'm am looking for a transcription of Think Twice from Handful of blues. It was published in a music sheet (& guitar tab) but this seems to have gone out of print. If anyone has a copy of this, a scan would be a greatly appreciated. I'm ready to pay for it.

Thanks
