Beginnings - Chicago

#acoustic #bourgeois #classicrock #coversongs #gibson #martin #unplugged #chicago
""Beginnings" is a song written by Robert Lamm for the rock band Chicago Transit Authority and recorded for its debut album Chicago Transit Authority, released in 1969. The song is the band's second single (after "Questions 67 and 68"), but failed to chart on its initial release.
After the band's success with subsequent singles, "Beginnings" was re-released in June 1971, backed with "Colour My World". Both sides became U.S. radio hits, and the combined single climbed to number seven on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. "Beginnings" reached number one on the U.S. Easy Listening chart. Writing for Ultimate Classic Rock, Dave Swanson rates "Beginnings" as number two in his list of top ten Chicago songs. It has been covered by many bands, including the tribute band Leonid and Friends." (Wikipedia)
This is a really cool song that I did not take the time to practice enough. John as usual played it flawlessly on my sweet 1994 Gibson Hummingbird. Frank was great as usual on the vocals and I was sort of lost most of the song while playing my awesome 1997 Bourgeois Country Boy. Hopefully you enjoy our cover of this great song.

Nice to see John crack a smile!! 😏

[@livefromthekitchencounter]

John smiles a lot…..usually after thinking about a sweet lead run he’s about to play!!

[@JohnBurbach-h3n]

The guitars are not out of tune. The song is played a half step down. I hope you enjoy!

Out of tune guitar(s). It would have been great otherwise. Fantastic singer, he was on point!

[@livefromthekitchencounter]

Not sure the guitars were out of tune…..my fingering on those major 7th chords could have been the issue.😂 Thanks for the feedback though. Frank (the singer) is always “on point.”
