Girgarre Jams: Me and Bobby McGee

[@Elle_M717]

Love the jam session of Bobby McGee. This song always makes me feel a bit of nostalgia, even though I was a kid when this song came out.

Thanks Elle! Yes, this one was a classic... even if I DON'T do the "La-la-la Lalala's" as per Janis Joplin's version. Well... she was more jazz oriented than me, anyway. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!😉

@@Elle_M717 Well, Kris Kristoffersen didn't need 'em, did he? 😉🤣

Did it bring back good memories of your busking days? Xx

[@theseustoo]

Yes, I suppose it did... Funny really... those were hard times to live through, but looking back they were probably the best times of my life. They were certainly full of adventure! :D

PS: You don't know the half of it, Debs! The stories I could tell you! "If we had but world enough and time..." as the poet said! 😊

@@debs900 I've often thought about writing it all up as a novel, but I lack motivation... doubt I could find a publisher for it anyway. It'd be a helluva lot of work for no reward. Btw, I have another gig at the Irish Club on 1st November... I'll try to record some of it if I can remember to take the go-pro and/or my mp3 recorder... In the meantime, I'll see if I can find any more footage from Girgarre worth posting. 😀

@@theseustoo Bet there's loads of musicians who's love to read about busking in the 70s/80s 😁
